How Long Do Capsule Hair Extensions Last?
Quick answer: Capsule extensions hold full volume for 2 to 4 months before a planned correction, and can stay in up to 6 months at most. Masters recommend a correction every 2 to 3 months so the bonds never sit too low. Book on WhatsApp.
What the wear time depends on
Your natural hair grows about a centimetre a month and carries the bonds down with it. The faster your hair grows, the sooner the capsules sit low and need moving up. Hair type, home care and how often you wash also change the timeline.
When to book a correction
Most masters recommend a correction every 2 to 3 months, and the safe window before one is usually 2 to 4 months. Leaving bonds in much longer risks tangling at the root, which is harder to correct. A timely correction keeps your own hair healthy and the look fresh.
How to make them last longer
Use sulphate-free shampoo, wash in a vertical position, dry the roots gently, and keep heat tools a couple of centimetres away from the bonds. Rinse with fresh water after the sea or the pool. Good care is the difference between the low and high end of the wear range.
