Nov 04, 2024Discover 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?
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.
