Frequently Asked Questions

Get answers to common questions about I-Tip Extensions.

Properly installed I-Tip Extensions typically last three to six months, with maintenance every six to eight weeks to adjust for natural growth. Longevity depends on care, activity level, and bond condition; professional removal and regular check-ins extend lifespan.

When applied and removed by trained stylists, I-Tips minimize stress on natural hair. Incorrect installation, heavy tension, or improper removal can cause breakage, so choose a certified technician and follow aftercare instructions.

Brush daily with a loop or soft-bristle brush, wash with sulfate-free shampoo, avoid oil at cylinder points, and secure hair in a loose braid or silk scarf at night. Regular salon check-ups keep bonds healthy.

Coloring or heat styling is possible but requires care. Have a professional color treated hair and avoid direct high heat on bonds. Use low heat settings and thermal protectants; consult your stylist before major color or chemical changes.

Installation time varies by hair amount and desired density, typically two to four hours. Initial consultations and prep can add time, while maintenance appointments for tightening or adjustments are usually quicker.

Costs depend on hair quality, number of strands, length, and stylist expertise. Expect a wide range; we provide personalized estimates during consultations. Contact Betty African Hair Braiding for a tailored quote and package options.
