You are wondering if hair extensions are right for you, and you’ve done a little research but you still have questions - and we have answers. Extensions aren’t just for celebrities and red carpets, nor are they only suitable for special occasions. Whether we start with shorter, finer hair, are coping with hair loss and thinning, in need of improving the overall look and condition of our hair, or wanting extra volume and length, there is an extension solution that will transform our hair. Let’s address those questions:
#1 How do extensions work?
Extensions add volume and length to our natural hair for more styling options. Hidden Crown® extensions are temporary solutions that can be applied in minutes, for longer, fuller hair.
#2 How secure are extensions? Will they fall out?
- Halo® extensions have an invisible wire that uses the weight of your own hair pulled over the wire to hold the extension securely in place. A Halo® extension is perfect for those who are experiencing thinning hair or hair loss as there are no clips, glue, or tape to hold it in place which can cause damage.
- Clip In extensions use clips that are attached to a weft to add extra length and volume by placing the clip ins precisely where they are needed, allowing for styling versatility.
#3 Are extensions damaging?
Extensions that use glue, tape, or are sewn in can damage hair at the root, while wearing temporary extensions that you can put in and remove quickly yourself puts less stress on hair follicles allowing for healthier overall hair condition. No hair stylist appointment is necessary, unless the wearer requires help in the initial fitting and wants to custom-cut their extension. Hidden Crown Halo® extensions come with simple instructions to easily and quickly adjust the wire for the perfect fit for your head.

#4 Are extensions comfortable to wear?
Extensions should be easy to apply, versatile to style, stay put, blend in seamlessly, and fit well without putting any strain on your natural hair. Choosing the right extensions means a comfortable fit that lasts all day and evening.
#5 Can extensions hide thinning hair, conceal hair loss, and cover bald spots?
Yes, yes, and yes: Toppers hide widening parts and add volume on the crown, Halo® extensions gently add extra volume and length for thinning or fine hair that looks sparse, and clip ins can be custom placed to cover bald spots adding fullness where it is missing.
#6 Are there different hair extensions better suited for those with fine hair vs those with thick hair?
Choose clip in extensions based on your natural hair thickness for the right amount of weight in the hair on the extension: fine or thin hair choose Seamless Clip In with five silicone wefts that are undetectable, while those with thicker hair choose Original Clip In which have more hair on three clips with thick ends.

#7 How do I care for extensions?
Hidden Crown® extensions are made of the best quality 100% real Remy human hair. Wash your extensions gently by hand using shampoo and conditioners without sulphates when you notice product buildup on the hair. Extensions don’t have the natural oils of our scalp and need to be washed less often than our natural hair.
#8 Can I custom cut, flat iron, or curl extensions:
Always use a heat protectant product when heat styling to avoid damage, and avoid using the hottest settings on heat tools. Extensions can be custom cut for the perfect style you desire: ask your stylist before purchasing your extensions for their input on which extension would be best to give you the volume and length you want for the final result. Carefully store your extensions when not wearing them to avoid tangles.
#9 Can extensions be custom colored?
Yes, Hidden Crown® extensions can be custom colored: consult with your hair colorist prior to ordering your extensions to select the best starting shade.
