Hair Extensions: Everything You’ve Always Wanted to Ask (But Felt Too Awkward To)
Let’s take the mystery (and the worry) out of getting the hair you’ve always dreamed of.
Thinking about getting hair extensions... but feel a bit nervous to ask the real questions?
We get it. Most of our clients come in with loads of unspoken worries about extensions — and half of them are based on myths, bad past experiences, or things they’ve seen on TikTok.
At Heavenly Hair Saxmundham, we believe there’s no such thing as a silly question — and the more you know, the more confident you’ll feel. So here it is: an honest, expert-led breakdown of the questions you’ve always wanted to ask (but maybe felt too awkward to).
Let’s go.
“Will people know I’ve got them in?”
Not if they’re done properly.
When extensions are colour-matched, custom-blended, and professionally fitted, they should be completely seamless — no visible bonds or tracks, no bulky volume at the roots. Just natural-looking, beautiful hair that moves and flows like your own.
Our method focuses on keeping everything discreet, wearable, and low-maintenance. So yes — your hairdresser might notice. But your friends will just say, “Wow — your hair looks incredible!”
“Will they damage my real hair?”
Not when they’re done by an expert and looked after properly.
We use methods that prioritise the health of your natural hair. That means no harsh glues or heavy weight pulling at the root. We’ll talk you through exactly how to care for your hair while wearing extensions, how often to maintain them, and when to give your natural hair a break (if needed).
In fact, many of our clients find their hair grows better with extensions, because they’re not over-styling or over-washing.
“What if they fall out… in public?!”
We know this is a big worry — especially for first-timers. The truth is, a properly fitted extension shouldn’t just “fall out” during your day.
There may be the occasional natural shed during your wear period (we’ll explain what’s normal), but no — your hair isn’t going to come loose in the supermarket queue. You’ll leave your appointment knowing exactly what to expect and how to keep them secure and comfy between fittings.
“Do I have to get super long hair?”
Absolutely not.
Extensions aren’t just about length. We use them for volume, density, or to fill in gaps from breakage or thinning. Many of our clients keep their hair around shoulder length or mid-length — they just want it to look fuller and more polished.
The goal is your dream hair — not the internet’s version.
“Are they uncomfortable?”
The first 24–48 hours might feel different — a little tight or snug as your scalp adjusts. But they shouldn’t be painful or irritating. After that, most clients say they barely notice them.
We’re always on hand to make adjustments if needed, and your comfort is our priority throughout the whole process.
“How much do they cost?”
It really depends on:
The method (tapes, wefts, nano bonds, etc.)
The amount of hair used
Whether you’re adding length, volume, or both
Your hair goals and maintenance routine
We’ll talk through all of this in your consultation — no pressure, no awkward surprises. You’ll get a full quote, tailored plan, and advice on the best option for your hair type, lifestyle, and budget.
