Frequently Asked Questions

Q. Why our salon chooses Remy Hair?

A. We like supreme quality 100% natural Indian temple Remy cuticle hair.
What this means: Indian hair is the closest and best suited to Caucasian hair. Remy
cuticle means that the cuticle layer of the hair is in tact and all going in the same
direction as it would in your hair naturally, the cuticle layer provides protection and
shine in your hair. Indian temple hair is prized for its shine luxurious feel and tangle
free manageability. As a result, most techniques you can do with your own hair you
can do with Remy Hair.

Originally black in color, it is gently bathed in a solution, not unlike the solution used to
extract pigment from delicate cashmere wool before the dyes are added. This method
ensures minimal damage to the hair resulting in extensions that are healthy, strong
and full of body and shine!

Q. What kind of bonds are used to fuse the hair to the extensions hair, I have heard
that “gluing” is bad for the hair?

A. A Keratin bond is used
We use the progressive technology of Keratin Fusion along with the latest procedures
in hair application.  Every strand of SO.CAP. Original Hair Extensions are tipped with a
Keratin Bond and lightly coated with silicone to avoid tangles and hair damage while
brushing. Alternatively from glue, keratin does not damage the hair since it is a natural
protein found in our own hair. The Bond itself has small portions of silicone in order to
guarantee a long lasting strong bond.

Q. What are the extensions applied with?

A. Infra light is a revolutionary machine, (by SO.CAP. Original) that contains all the
advantages of the traditional technologies
(the hot point and the ultrasound
machines). Thanks to its innovation, it’s considered to be an exclusive and ideal
machine that is safe for all hair types especially dry damaged hair as well as fine hair.
Infra light offers a modern, reliable, simple and fast technology. It is based on feed
back infrared modulation that softens the keratin in the best way known to date.

The result of this advancement is an induced thermal energy proportionate to the
energy absorbed by the keratin. Therefore controlling the depth of the fusion leaving
the external part of the keratin intact, keeping the bond from allowing outside
substances from seeping in. It follows a perfect defence, extending the duration of hair
extensions.

Q. What are some of the different ways people use hair extensions?
A.





Q. How long will my extensions last?
A.
With proper care and maintenance, your extensions can last in your hair from 4 to 6
months.

Q. What condition will my hair be in after I have them removed?
A.
Your hair will be just as it was before the extensions were put in, provided you use
the proper products and take proper care of them.

Q. Are hair extensions comfortable to wear?
A.
They feel like your own hair.

Q. How long does it take to put in hair extensions?
A.
It completely depends on what you’re having done and what kind of hair you have to
begin with. Upon your consultation a cost and time frame will be given. Consultations
are complimentary.

Q. How long does my own hair have to be to safely have hair extensions?
A.
You own hair has to be about 5 inches long to be able to support the extra hair.  A
general rule of thumb when extending hair is the double rule, what ever length you
have we can double it! So if you have chin length hair we can safely extend it to your
chest area and so on.
1) Do not shampoo hair for 48 hours after having them put in.

2) Before bed tie hair back in a scrunchie or a braid to prevent tangling, if
possible sleep on a silk pillow case.

3) Brush hair with a loop brush or a boar bristle brush, in sections, from the
bottom up.

4) When washing your hair, always tilt your head back and lather from the top
down. Do not scrub aggressively, but rather gently, lather from scalp to ends.
Never go to bed with wet hair.

5) To dry, wrap hair in towel to absorb the water, gently squeeze. Do not use
scrubbing action. The hair extension bonds should never stay wet for too long.
It is mandatory that you dry them with a blow dryer, you may choose to allow the
actual hair it self to air dry or diffuse the hair when you are in a hurry. If you’re in
chlorinated or salt water, wash hair immediately, condition the ends and dry the
bonds.

6) If you sun tan, whether naturally or in a tanning bed, cover your hair
completely. Sun exposure from tanning beds can cause particular damage to
your extension bonds.

7) Be sure to take extra care on vacation. Over exposure to the sun, sand, salt
water, chlorinated water, sulphur and mineral salts from hot springs, could
affect the hair and bond. Spray s-block treatment before going in to the pool or
ocean.

This is what the process looks like, before during and after
8) To style hair you can use Velcro rollers, any hot tools you like as long as you avoid touching the bond with the hot tools. Avoid
overhead dryers.

9) Do not use shampoos containing sulphur, like most dandruff shampoos, as this will dry the hair and cause the bonds to
deteriorate. Use sulphate free shampoo.

10) Do not use silicone or oily products near the bond as it may get inside the bond itself and cause the bond to slip out. Do not
use organic shampoos and conditioners on hair extensions, the natural oils found in many organic products can cause damage
to the bond.
