5 Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Hair Extensions

  1. Texture Tells the Tale Texture is your first clue. Fresh extensions are silky, supple, and slip seamlessly into your natural strands. But after repeated washes, heat tools, and layers of styling products, they can lose that luxurious feel. When once-lush hair becomes dry, fragile, or rigid, you’re battling a lost cause.

True Remy hair may cost 2–3 times more up front, but you can wash, dry, and style it just like your own locks. You can even recolor o...
