Discover The Connected Method®

Considering The Connected Method® hair extensions for a new look or to help with compromised hair? Here’s a breakdown of what you can expect from consultation to long-term maintenance, so you can get the most out of your experience with The Connected Method®.

Why Consider Our Method?

The Connected Method® was created to be the safest option for anyone looking to enhance their hair—whether your hair is strong or compromised. We know that getting extensions can sometimes come with concerns about potential damage, but with our method, you can feel confident in the safety and support we provide. Unlike traditional methods, The Connected Method® is designed to minimize stress on the natural hair. With our exclusive Connected Loop Tool/Line, we’ve developed an approach that distributes weight evenly, helping to prevent tension, breakage, and discomfort.

Our method’s gentle placement “sandwiches” your natural hair between wefts, creating a barrier that shields it from heat and daily wear, allowing it to rest and rejuvenate. When combined with the right at-home care, The Connected Method® isn’t just a path to immediate beauty; it’s a nurturing space where your natural hair can improve and grow. We hope to offer you not only the confidence of fuller, thicker hair today but the joy of stronger, healthier natural hair tomorrow. With The Connected Method®, you get a safe, lasting transformation that supports your hair’s health and strength at every step.

1. The Initial Consultation

Your extension journey begins with a consultation to discuss your hair goals and history. This step is essential in achieving your desired look and ensuring your natural hair’s health. During this meeting, your stylist will assess factors like your current hair condition, any prior treatments, and your ideal length and volume. This crucial step allows your stylist to create a customized plan for your install and is key to a safe, seamless, and beautiful result.

2. Maintenance and Follow-Up Appointments

Once your extensions are installed, expect a follow-up appointment every 6 to 10 weeks for maintenance. The timing depends on your hair’s health, how quickly it grows, and your stylist’s assessment.

Maintenance Process: Each maintenance appointment includes the full removal of your extensions. The hair and beads are brushed through thoroughly, releasing any loose, naturally shed hair held in place by the beads.
Duration: The initial installation takes up to a couple of hours, while retightening sessions typically last about 1 to 1.5 hours.

Regular follow-ups are key to extending the life of your extensions and keeping your natural hair healthy and intact.

3. Recommended Products for the Best Results

Using the right products is essential to maintaining your extensions and keeping them looking fresh and natural. Your stylist will recommend products specifically designed to care for both your natural hair and your extensions, helping them last longer and stay beautiful.

Shampoo & Conditioner: Opt for sulfate-free, hydrating formulas that won’t weigh down or dry out extensions.
Leave-In Conditioner: Keeps hair soft, manageable, and detangled.
Oil: A lightweight oil applied from mid-lengths to ends adds luster and keeps hair hydrated.
Heat Protectant: Essential for minimizing heat damage during styling.
Deep Conditioner: Use monthly to maintain moisture and elasticity in the hair.

With the right products, you can maximize the longevity of your extensions and keep both your extensions and natural hair looking their best.

4. Extension Longevity

One of the great benefits of The Connected Method® is the quality and longevity of the hair extensions. With proper care and recommended products, high-end extensions can last up to a year or even longer. The duration of use depends on the hair’s quality and your diligence in maintaining them with gentle products and regular maintenance appointments.

5. Pricing

Pricing for The Connected Method® can vary based on the stylist’s experience, your location, and your specific look. Here’s what to consider:

Cost per Row: Stylists may charge between $65 to $150 per row, with the cost of hair added separately.
Number of Rows: Most installs require no more than three rows to achieve a full, natural look.
Hair Purchase: The volume and type of hair needed are determined by your desired look, and pricing reflects these specifics.
