3. Always Attend Your Regular Maintenance Hair Appointments With Your Extensionist

Attending your maintenance appointments is key to keeping your hair extensions healthy and helping them last longer. 

Your stylist will know when exactly you will need your maintenance appointments as everybody is different. But, if you want to know an approximate time of how often your maintenance appointments should be, check out our journal post “How Do I Make Human Hair Extensions Last Longer?” 

 

4.Keep Your Hair Rejuvenated With A Hair Oil

Hair oil is an essential part of your haircare routine to keep your hair rejuvenated and gorgeous for longer. 

Again from Remi Cachet is their Hair Oil (also infused with the brand’s signature scent (heart eyes) this can be used on both dry and damp hair specifically the mid-lengths and ends (never the root of your hair) to give it an intense glossy finish and great softness whilst leaving it noticeably radiant *hair flick moment*.  

Although the oil is made to specifically look after your human hair extensions, this can also be used on your own hair, so calling all you non-extension wearers, again, you have no excuse.

5.Never Tint, Colour Or Perm Your Hair Extensions 

Long story short… We never have or never will advise either you or your stylist to tint, colour or perm your hair extensions. This is because due to the processes the hair has already gone through to get it to the desired colour you have chosen, making changes such as the above will simply cause damage to the hair that cannot be undone… it’s a no from us.

 

For all of our tips and advice (there’s so much more) to keep your hair healthy, be sure to grab a cup of tea and check out our aftercare page for everything you need to know. Any questions? Contact us and one of the team will be happy to help.

Velcro roller FAQs

  • Do Velcro rollers need heat to work? 

    Velcro hair rollers can be used to achieve stunning results with or without heat. Using your hair dryer to apply heat speeds up the setting process, delivering bouncy curls in minutes. 

    However, Velcro hair rollers can be worn to bed, where their clip-free design means they shouldn’t disturb your beauty sleep. Simply apply to dry hair as part of your bedtime routine, and wake up in 6–8 hours to effortless bounce. 

    Both heated and heat-free Velcro roller methods deliver impressive volume and hold. 

  • Can I use Velcro rollers on hair extensions?

    Velcro rollers can be used on human hair extensions just the same as your own hair. Follow all the instructions and advice in this guide to get the best results from Velcro-rolling your hair extensions, and take extra care to avoid tangling, especially close to the bonds.

  • What size of Velcro rollers should I use? 

    The best size of Velcro hair rollers depends on your desired look: 

    • Jumbo (2+ inches): Best for root lift and smoothing. 
    • Large (1.5–2 inches): Loose waves and mega volume. 
    • Medium (1–1.5 inches): Balanced volume with more definition. 
    • Small (0.5–1 inch): Tighter curls and bounce. 

  • Why do my rollers keep slipping out? 

    If your rollers keep slipping out, try working in smaller sections, add a spritz of texture spray, and secure withcurlerclipsfor extra hold.

  • Why do my curls look uneven? 

    Uneven results usually mean uneven rolling technique. To remedy this, keep your sections consistent, apply heat and cooling time evenly, and check your roller placement from root to tip. 

  • Can I combine Velcro rollers with other hair styling tools? 

    Velcro rollers play well with other hair styling tools. Use them after curling irons to lock curls in shape, or roll sections post-straightening for extra volume and smoothness. They’re also perfect for adding hidden lift to half-up styles or popping in after a blow-dry for a polished finish.

  • Should you put Velcro rollers in wet hair? 

    You should not apply rollers to wet hair. Instead, apply to almost dry or completely dry hair for best results. 

  • How long should you leave your hair in Velcro rollers? 

    If opting for a heat-free rolling technique, leave your hair in rollers for 6–8 hours for best results. Some people choose to do this overnight.  

    If setting your Velcro hair rollers with heat, they’ll be ready to remove in minutes. 

     Don’t underestimate the power of Velcro hair rollers – they’re a low-effort, high-impact tool that transforms flat hair into full-bodied drama. Ready to get unrivalled volume, shape, and bounce? Shop Velcro rollers here.
