Women of different ages regularly choose hair extensions to add volume, length, or a fresh new look. One of the most popular services is mixed colour hair extensions, which allow clients to achieve a more dimensional and personalized finish. However, despite how common extensions have become, there are still many myths surrounding the procedure.
One of the biggest concerns is hair falling out after extensions. Because of this fear, many women avoid trying extensions altogether. That’s why it’s important to understand how modern methods actually work and whether extensions truly damage natural hair.

Extension strands are always attached to natural hair during the fitting process. Older methods used many years ago could sometimes create too much tension on the hair and scalp. Heavy clips, bulky attachments, and large fixing points often caused discomfort and unnecessary strain. This is where many of the myths about hair extensions falling out with natural hair originally came from. Modern methods are very different. Today, experienced specialists use lightweight keratin bonds that are discreet and comfortable to wear. Because the attachments are extremely small, they don’t create excessive tension on the natural hair. That’s why specialists at Ivana Farisei London actively work with methods such as:

At that stage, the hairstyle may begin to lose its neat appearance and balance.
That’s why timely maintenance appointments are strongly recommended. At Ivana Farisei London, both fitting and correction appointments are carried out professionally and can be booked online or by phone.

One of the most common stereotypes is that hair extensions falls because aftercare is too difficult or expensive. In reality, modern extensions are relatively easy to maintain when clients follow simple professional advice. At Ivana Farisei London, clients receive practical aftercare recommendations, including:
