You can find more information about our qualities here.
Which method suits me best?
We recommend different methods depending on how thick or thin your own hair is. Please contact our customer service or have a look at our tutorials to find out what fits you best.
Which colour should I choose?
If you are unsure of which colour to choose, you can email a picture of your hair to consultation@rapunzel.com. Our experts will help find the right shade for you. Read more here.
Rapunzel of Sweden’s extensions are made of real hair, so they act like real hair. This means that the colour of your extensions will not always be exactly the same and may sometimes differ from the product images. Read more about colour differences in the colour guide.
How long does my hair need to be to have extensions?
We recommend that you have at least 10 cms of healthy hair to create a natural-looking extension of your own hair.
How much hair do I need?
It depends on your hair type, the results you want to achieve and the method you choose. Please have a look at the respective method's product page for our suggestions.
How long do hair extensions last?
This depends on what quality you choose and how you take care of them. Rapunzel Premium lasts for up to 6 months and Rapunzel Original for up to 1-2 months with the right hair care. Just as your own hair, extensions can also be trimmed. Tape hair has to be reinstalled after 6-8 weeks so that the attachments do not grow out too much.
How do I remove my hair?
Extension removal varies depending upon which method you used to attach them. Please have a look at the respective tutorial to find out how to remove the hair and which supplies are needed.
Do hair extensions wear out my own hair?
All extensions can cause a little wear and tear, but it's minimal if you insert and remove them correctly, and take care of them according to our care instructions.
TAKING CARE OF YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS
How do I take care of my extensions?
We advise to use Rapunzel's hair care products that are specially developed for hair extensions. Your extensions require some extra care in order to stay in good condition and with Rapunzel's hair care products you can make sure that the hair lasts as long as possible.
Read our detailed care instructions here.
Can I style the hair?
Yes, it is possible to style our straight real hair extensions and synthetic wigs with hair straighteners or curling irons. But please remember to always use heat protection and less than 180 degrees Celcius! You should not use heating tools on our curly extensions.
Can I colour/bleach/tone my hair extensions?
Can my hair be permed?
No, the liquids used for perming hair are far too strong for extensions and we advise you not to perm them. If you choose to do so, then it is at your own risk and the guarantees are no longer valid.
Can I swim in pools with chlorine, salt water or take a sauna?
The hair should not be exposed to salt water or chlorine pools. If you want to swim/bathe we generally recommend to use a swimming cap. We cannot recommend taking a sauna with tape extensions. If you take a sauna with Keratin Extensions/Nail Hair installed, then plait your hair before and moisturize your hair with a hair treatment when washing your hair afterwards.
Can sunlight harm my extensions?
It can, so be sure to use a UV protection spray before sunbathing. Avoid contact with sunscreen and similar products as they may discolour the hair extensions.
