How long do machine weft extensions last?

Machine weft extensions from Christian Michael typically last 6-8 weeks between move-ups and can be reused for 6-12 months with proper care. The longevity depends on your natural hair growth rate, maintenance routine, and lifestyle factors. Our premium Remy human hair maintains its quality through multiple installations.

What's the difference between Genius Weft and traditional machine weft?

Genius Weft is our revolutionary ultra-thin weft that's 40% thinner than traditional machine wefts. It features a flexible polyurethane band that lays completely flat against the scalp, making it virtually undetectable. Unlike traditional wefts, Genius Wefts can be cut anywhere without unraveling and offer 360-degree movement for the most natural look and feel.

Are Christian Michael extensions made from real human hair?

Yes, all Christian Michael extensions are made from 100% Remy human hair, ethically sourced and carefully processed to maintain the cuticle alignment. This ensures our extensions blend seamlessly with natural hair, can be colored, heat-styled up to 450°F, and maintain their quality for months with proper care.

What hair extension method is best for thin or fine hair?

For thin or fine hair, we recommend our Genius Weft or tape-in extensions. Genius Wefts are ultra-thin and lightweight, distributing weight evenly without stress on delicate hair. Tape-ins lie flat against the scalp and provide comfortable, damage-free wear. Our certified stylists can help determine the best method during a consultation.

Do you offer hair extension training and certification?

Yes, Christian Michael Hair Extensions Academy offers comprehensive certification courses for all extension methods including machine weft, Genius weft, K-tip, tape-in, and hand-tied. Our programs include hands-on training, business development coaching, and lifetime access to our professional community. Courses are available online and in-person.

Can I swim and exercise with hair extensions?

Absolutely! Christian Michael extensions are designed for active lifestyles. Before swimming, apply a leave-in conditioner and braid your hair to prevent tangling. After swimming in chlorine or salt water, rinse immediately and use a clarifying shampoo weekly. For workouts, secure extensions in a loose braid or ponytail to minimize tangling from sweat.

How many wefts do I need for a full head installation?

The number of wefts needed varies based on your natural hair density and desired fullness. Typically, 4-6 wefts (100-150 grams) provide natural fullness, while 6-8 wefts (150-200 grams) create dramatic volume. Fine hair may require 3-4 wefts, while thick hair might need 7-10 wefts. Our stylists can provide personalized recommendations.

What's your return and exchange policy?

We offer a 30-day return policy for unopened, unused extensions in original packaging. Custom-colored or specially ordered extensions are final sale. If you receive the wrong color or length, we'll exchange it free of charge. Professional account holders have extended 45-day return windows. All returns include free return shipping labels.

How do I color match my extensions?

We offer a comprehensive color ring with 30+ shades and provide free color matching services. Upload a photo in natural lighting to our website, or order our $10 color ring (cost credited toward your purchase). Our extensions can also be custom colored by professional stylists using professional hair color - never box dye.

How do I care for and maintain my extensions?

Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner, brush gently with a loop brush starting from ends, and sleep with hair in a loose braid on a silk pillowcase. Apply heat protectant before styling (max 450°F), and schedule move-up appointments every 6-8 weeks. Avoid products with alcohol near bonds, and deep condition weekly for optimal longevity.

Can I perm or chemically treat Christian Michael extensions?

Yes, our 100% Remy human hair extensions can be permed, relaxed, or chemically treated by a professional stylist. However, chemical processing may affect the longevity and require extra conditioning. We recommend strand testing first and using professional-grade products only. Our education program includes advanced chemical service training.

This allows stylists to maintain healthy margins while offering premium extensions to clients. Professional accounts also receive exclusive access to education, marketing materials, and business support.

How do I remove hair extensions safely?

Removal methods vary by extension type. Machine wefts require cutting the thread and gently sliding out. K-tips need acetone or alcohol-based remover to dissolve keratin bonds. Tape-ins use oil-based remover to release adhesive. Always have a professional remove extensions to prevent damage.

What's the investment for a full head of extensions?

Investment varies by method and desired fullness. Typically ranges from $600-$1500 for hair plus $300-$800 for professional installation. Machine wefts and Genius wefts offer the best value as they can be reused for 6-12 months. We offer payment plans to make extensions accessible.

Can I color my extensions after installation?

Yes, our 100% Remy human hair can be colored darker or toned after installation. Lightening is not recommended as it can compromise the hair integrity. Always use professional color and have a trained stylist perform the service. We recommend ordering the closest match to avoid processing.

Do you offer virtual consultations?
