Frequently Asked Questions About Hair Extension Costs

Why are human hair extensions so much more expensive than synthetic?

Human hair extensions require ethical sourcing, careful processing, and cuticle alignment to maintain natural appearance and durability, all contributing to higher costs. Our premium synthetic alternatives offer exceptional quality at a fraction of the price.

How can I extend the lifespan of my extensions to get better value?

Use extension-safe products, store properly when not in use, and follow our care guide to maximize longevity. With proper care, synthetic extensions can last 3-6 months of regular wear, while human hair extensions can last 6-12 months.

Are more expensive extensions always better?

Not necessarily. Lock-Luxe synthetic extensions offer exceptional quality at affordable prices, often outperforming more expensive competitors through superior design and materials. Our French-inspired design creates natural movement that rivals human hair.

What's the most cost-effective extension type for beginners?

Clip-in extensions offer the best value for beginners, with easy application, removal, and no professional installation costs. Our Luxury 20" Hair Extensions with 130g volume provide the perfect balance of quality and affordability.

How much should I budget for my first hair extension purchase?

For a complete starter set including extensions and care products, budget £50-£80 ($65-$105) for synthetic or £200-£250 ($260-$320) for human hair options. Lock-Luxe's 35% discount makes premium options more accessible than ever.
