The application is not painful. It feels similar to a long styling appointment — there is no cutting, no chemicals on the scalp, and no pulling sensation when the weft is applied correctly. Some clients feel mild tenderness for the first day or two as their scalp adjusts to the added weight, particularly with longer lengths, but this settles quickly.

Itching is a common concern and usually signals one of two things: either the bonds were applied too tightly, or there is a product residue build-up at the attachment points. At Elaris, our specialists apply wefts with appropriate tension for your hair density — not too tight, not too loose — and advise on the right aftercare to keep the scalp clean and comfortable. Most clients report that once the first few days have passed, they forget the extensions are there.

The weft hair itself — when properly cared for — can last through multiple application cycles, often six months to a year or longer. What requires maintenance is the attachment point: as your natural hair grows (roughly 1–1.5 cm per month), the weft gradually moves away from the scalp and needs to be repositioned. This typically happens every 6–8 weeks.

Day-to-day maintenance is minimal. Wash your hair as normal using sulphate-free shampoo, brush from the mid-lengths downward before working up toward the roots, and avoid applying heavy conditioner or oils directly onto the bonds. You can still blow-dry, straighten, curl, swim, and style your hair exactly as you would without extensions — with a few small adjustments in technique that become second nature very quickly.

Yes — weft extensions are one of the more beginner-friendly extension methods available. Because they are applied in flat rows rather than individual strands, there are fewer attachment points to manage, the daily care routine is simpler, and the blended result is forgiving even when hair is worn loose or unstyled.

At Elaris, we are particularly careful with first-time clients. Your specialist will take extra time at the consultation to explain what the process involves, what to expect in the first week, and how to care for the extensions at home. You will leave with a clear aftercare routine and the confidence to manage your new hair without needing to visit the salon for every small question.

When applied correctly and maintained on schedule, weft extensions carry very low risk to your natural hair. The most common issue — traction tension — occurs when wefts are applied too tightly or left in place for too long without repositioning. This is why the 6–8 week maintenance window is not just a recommendation; it is what protects the health of your natural hair underneath.

At Elaris, we assess your natural hair’s density and health before every appointment and select the appropriate weft weight accordingly. If your hair is fine, damaged, or thinning, we will tell you honestly before proceeding and may suggest a lighter starting option or a preparatory treatment first. We will never apply wefts to hair that is not in a condition to support them safely.
