1. Can you put hair extensions in really short hair?

Yes! Hair extensions can instantly help you add volume or length, or both to your short hair.

2. Are hair extensions safe?

Hair extensions are safe when you’re using them with proper care, such as removing them before you sleep (as the clips and pulling during sleep can damage your hair), and you also have to make sure that you don’t wear hair extensions into shower (even though these are washable, keeping them on while you shower will cause a tangled mess in your hair).

3. How long do hair extensions last on short hair?

If you’re choosing to go for semi-permanent hair extensions (tape-ins, sew-ins, micro links, etc.) then your hair extensions themselves will last longer but they’ll have to be reinserted after a few weeks to months depending on the type of extensions you choose. While clip-ins last for a total of 4 years with proper care, and you can wear them everyday after removing them during nights.
