How to know when it's time for a new set

With proper at home care and maintenance, your Chapter I extensions should last 8-11 months. There are many factors that affect this timeline. Scroll to read about the lifespan of your extensions, and how to know when you are ready for a new set of hair.

Do I need new extensions?

Our extension hair (Chapter I Signature Extensions) typically last 8-11 months with proper care.

It may be time to repalce your hair if you notice:

Excessive dryness that doesn't improve with deep conditioning
Increased tangling at the ends
Thinning or stringy appearance
Loss of shine or smoothness
Breakage from repeated heat styling or chemical exposure

Not every maintenance appointment requires new hair. We will assess the integrity of your extensions at each visit and help guide you honestly when replacement is necessary.

What affects the lifespan of your investment

The longevity of your extensions is directly influenced by how they are cared for. Key factors include:

At-home care (proper brushing, hydration, and protection while sleeping)
Heat exposure (temperature and frequency of styling tools)
Chemical treatments (lightening the hair)
Shade selection (lighter blondes naturally show wear sooner)
Regular trims (removing dry ends extends overall lifespan)
