JB Hair Studio - Keratin Bond Hair Extensions in Corby

Below are answers to some of the most common questions about keratin bond hair extensions, consultations, maintenance, and aftercare. If you have any additional questions, please feel free to get in touch.

What are keratin bond hair extensions?

Keratin bond hair extensions are one of the most natural and discreet extension methods available. Small strands of premium hair are attached individually using a keratin bond, which is gently melted and shaped around a section of your natural hair.

This method allows for seamless blending, natural movement, and flexible styling, making it ideal for clients who want longer, fuller hair with a natural finish.

Do keratin bond hair extensions damage your natural hair?

When applied correctly by a trained hair extension specialist, keratin bond extensions should not damage your natural hair.

At JB Hair Studio, careful bond mapping and balanced placement ensure the weight of each extension is suitable for your natural hair density. Proper aftercare and regular maintenance appointments are also essential to protect your hair.

How long do keratin bond hair extensions last?

Keratin bond hair extensions are typically worn for 2–4 months, depending on natural hair growth and aftercare.

Once removed, the hair can often be recapsulated and reapplied, making maintenance appointments significantly lower in cost compared to the initial installation.

How many strands of hair extensions will I need?

The number of strands required depends on:

• Your natural hair density

• Your current hair length

• Your desired length and volume

Some clients want subtle fullness, while others want a more dramatic transformation with both length and volume. During your consultation we determine the exact amount of hair needed to achieve the result you want.

Can hair extensions add volume without adding length?

Yes. Many clients choose keratin bond extensions for volume only.

Extensions can be placed strategically to add fullness through the mid-lengths and ends while maintaining your natural hair length.

Can I style my hair normally with extensions?

Yes. Keratin bond extensions allow you to style your hair much like your natural hair.

You can:

• Curl your hair

• Straighten your hair

• Wear ponytails

• Create updos

Heat styling tools should always be used with heat protection and should not be applied directly to the keratin bonds.

How should I wash hair extensions?

Hair extensions should be washed 2–3 times per week using gentle, sulfate-free hair products.

When washing:

• Avoid scrubbing the bonds

• Wash hair in a downward direction

• Rinse thoroughly to prevent product build-up

Following the recommended aftercare routine will help maintain the quality and longevity of your extensions.

Do I need a consultation before getting hair extensions?

Yes. A consultation is important to ensure the correct method, hair quantity, and colour match are chosen for your hair.

During your hair extension consultation in Corby, we discuss your goals, assess your natural hair, and create a personalised plan to achieve the best possible result.

Can I colour my hair extensions?

Hair extensions can be toned or coloured if necessary, but this should always be done by a professional.

Colouring extensions incorrectly can affect the texture and lifespan of the hair.

What happens if I already have hair extensions installed?

If you currently have extensions installed, please mention this during your consultation.

JB Hair Studio also offers professional removal and maintenance of different types of hair extensions, ensuring your natural hair is properly protected before installing a new set.

How much do hair extensions cost?

The cost of hair extensions varies depending on:

• The length of hair required

• The amount of hair needed

• The colour blend required

• The desired level of volume or transformation
