How Often Should You Replace Hair Extensions? Expert Tips from Vamp Salon Extension Studio

We recommend refreshing your extension hair every 4–6 months to maintain a flawless look and ensure long-term hair health. At Vamp Salon Extension Studio in Brentwood, CA, our stylists specialize in premium hand-tied extensions designed for longevity—but even the best extensions need to be replaced eventually. Here’s how to know when it’s time to invest in a new set and why Vamp Salon is the most trusted salon in the Bay Area for expert guidance, removal, and reapplication.

Why Extension Replacement Matters

Hair extensions are the go-to solution for adding instant volume, length, and style flexibility—but like all beauty investments, they need proper care and timely updates. Ignoring wear and tear can affect not just the look, but also the health of your natural hair.

General Replacement Timeline

  • Hand-tied extensions (like NBR™ or Isla Hair): Every 4–6 months with consistent maintenance and quality hair care
  • Tape-ins: Typically every 6–8 weeks, depending on hair growth
  • Synthetic extensions: Usually last 2–3 months due to lower durability
  • Re-usable human hair extensions: Can last up to 9–12 months if cared for and professionally maintained

Signs It’s Time for a New Set

Not sure whether your extensions are still in good shape? Look for these signs:
  • Visible split ends or fraying on the extension hair
  • Excessive tangling or matting, even with proper brushing
  • Thinning or shedding wefts
  • Difficulty blending with your natural hair
If you’re seeing any of these red flags, it’s time to upgrade to a new, healthy set of extensions—and we’re here to help.
