Frequently Asked Questions

• How do I choose the right Luxy Hair set?

  Here we will answer some of the most frequently asked questions about how to choose the right set Luxy Hair extensions.

  How do I choose between clip-in and Halo extensions?

  
  
  

  Halo extensions are a lower maintenance alternative to our clip-in extensions. Instead of having to clip in multiple wefts to ensure a seamless blend, all you need to do is apply the Halo and two 2-clip wefts to the side of your temples in a matter of seconds. Halo extensions are also great for those with thin and fragile hair and for those who have a sensitive scalp and find it hard wearing clip-in extensions. They are best for those who have below shoulder length hair and have a thin or medium hair type.

  While both clip-in and halo extensions deliver the same beautiful results, the main difference lies in the difference in application techniques. Click here to check out our comparison chart and to learn about which extensions are best for you.

  What is the difference between all of the different weights?

  All clip-in Luxy Hair extensions are sold in a full head set (9-10 wefts depending on the weight) and are made of the same high-quality 100% remy human hair. The only difference between each set is the weight. The higher the grams, the more hair that is attached to each weft. The individual strands themselves will remain consistent in thickness.

  Kindly note, the 16" 140g set has the same density as the 20" Classic 160g set but is less in weight due to the shorter length. Also, the 24" 220g Seamless Blonde Balayage set is the same density as the 20" Seamless Blonde Balayage set, however, it is heavier due to the longer length.

  Our Halo extensions are sold in a 3 piece set and are also made of the same high-quality grade 100% remy human hair. The weight of the full Halo set is 180g. This includes one Halo weft (140g) and two additional 2-clip wefts (20g each) to help blend face-framing pieces.

  What is the difference between the Classic and Seamless collections?
  

  Seamless clip-in Luxy Hair extensions are made with a thin silicone-based weft that lays flat against your head. For more information, please visit this helpful support article or check out this blog post.

  How many pieces come in each set?

  Our 20" Halo extensions have a total of 3 pieces:

  • 1 x Halo weft (12")
  • 2 x 2-clip wefts (4")

  Our 20" 120g & 16" 140g sets have a total of 9 pieces:

  • 1 x 4-clip weft (8")
  • 2 x 3-clip wefts (6")
  • 2 x 2-clip wefts (4")
  • 4 x 1-clip wefts (1")

  Our 20" 160g, 180g, 220g, & 24" 220g sets have a total of 10 pieces

  • 1 x 4-clip weft (8")
  • 1 x 4-clip weft (7")
  • 2 x 3-clip wefts (6")
  • 2 x 2-clip wefts (4")
  • 4 x 1-clip wefts (1")

  * The 120g & 140g sets have one 4-clip weft whereas the 160g, 180g & 220g have two.

  What lengths do you offer?

  Clip-in Luxy Hair extensions are available in our new 16" Classic & Seamless collections, as well as our standard 20" Classic & Seamless collections. We also offer a longer length in our 24" Seamless Blonde Balayage set. Our Halo extensions come in a standard length of 20 inches. To see what these lengths will look like on you, click here.

  Do you offer curly or wavy hair extensions?

  No, we do not offer pre-curled/waved hair extensions at this time. Since Luxies are made of 100% remy human hair, however, they can be styled to curls or waves using hot tools. Here is a super helpful tutorial by our lovely friend, India, who shows how to blend extensions with her naturally curly hair.

  You can also air dry your extensions overnight (in a braid, for instance), and when you wake up and clip in your set you will have gorgeous, beachy waves ready to go. Plus, you can also experiment with different curl patterns without having to buy an array of curling wands. Find out 4 ways to air dry your extensions.

  How do I choose the right color of extensions?
  

  Luxy Hair extensions are offered in 24 beautiful colors ranging from Jet Black to Platinum Blonde, and from Ombre to Balayage. We offer 60-day returns if the color doesn't match. We support you! Please check out our Luxy Hair Color Guide for more information on choosing your perfect Luxy color.

  I’m not sure which clip-in set is best for me - how do I choose?

• What lengths do you offer, and what do they look like on?

  Clip-in Luxy Hair extensions are available in our new 16" Classic & Seamless collections, as well as our standard 20" Classic & Seamless collections. We also offer a longer length in our 24" Seamless Blonde Balayage set. Our Halo extensions come in a standard length of 20 inches.

  Why do they look longer on some people and shorter on others?

  Great question! This is because Luxy Hair extensions will appear different in length on every person, as we all have different torso lengths. If you have a longer torso or are quite tall, Luxies will appear shorter on you. If you are more petite or have a shorter torso, Luxies will appear longer on you.

  How long will Luxy Hair extensions be on me?

  In order to determine how long Luxies will be on you, we recommend measuring either 16 inches or 20 inches down from the top of your ear with a measuring tape, as most wefts will be applied around the crown of your head.

  What if Luxy Hair extensions are too long on me?

  Since Luxies are made of 100% remy human hair, they can be cut or trimmed to any desired length by an experienced hair stylist if you are interested in a shorter length. If you decide to get them cut, we recommend having them already clipped into your hair during the haircut. We also recommend coming up with a numbering system for the wefts, so that you know exactly where each weft is supposed to be clipped in for the future uses.

  What if I want a longer length?

  If you have medium blonde hair, you can opt for our exclusive 24" Seamless Blonde Balayage set. At this time, Luxy Hair does not offer a longer length collection, however, we are always open to feedback. Should you be interested in a length, color, or other option for hair extensions that we don't currently carry, kindly send us an email at info@luxyhair.com, and we'll be happy to keep your suggestion in mind for future product considerations.

• What is Balayage?

  Balayage is a specific coloring technique. It was derived in France and is translated to ‘sweeping’. Balayage is a beautiful, dimensional look that includes highlights throughout the hair, with a higher concentration towards the ends.

• What is the difference between the Highlight & Balayage collections?

  The Highlights collection features thin highlights starting from the root straight through to the ends. This collection is designed to blend into hair that has already been highlighted, eliminating the need to get your hair extensions custom-dyed. This is great for those looking to further accentuate their highlights. To learn about how to choose between our Highlights colors, click here.

  The Balayage collection features hand-painted highlights that start 6 inches from the root with darker pieces left at the bottom to give the hair that extra depth and dimension. This collection is great for those who have a solid hair color and are looking for a damage-free way to add sun-kissed dimension to their hair.

• How do I choose the right color of Balayage extensions?

  What is Balayage?

  Balayage means to "paint" or "sweep"— it's a dying process that results in natural-looking highlights. There is no clear fade line between the darker and lighter colors like with our Ombre shades. As well, darker pieces are left at the bottom to give the hair that extra depth and dimension.

  Do I need to have Balayage or highlights in my hair?

  No, your hair can be a solid shade! Balayage extensions are a damage-free way to add sun-kissed dimension to your hair.

  How do I match my hair to the right shade?

  FAQs

  I have Ombre/highlights in my hair. Can I still wear Balayage?

  Yes. Balayage extensions will blend even if you have Ombre or highlights in your hair. If you have Ombre, the Balayage extensions will add more color and dimension higher up. If you have highlights, the Balayage extensions will add more color towards the ends.

  What if I have short hair?

  For best results, your hair should be about 6-7 inches in length for the extensions to blend naturally (that's about shoulder length) & a solid color. To learn about which set to pick, click here.

  How far down the weft do the Balayage highlights start?

  The Balayage highlights start 6 inches from the base of the weft.

  What if I want a shorter/longer length?

  At this time, the Balayage shades come in 20 inches, however, we do offer a longer length in our 24" Seamless Blonde Balayage set. Since Luxies are made of 100% remy human hair, however, they can be cut or trimmed to any desired length by an experienced hair stylist if you are interested in a shorter length.

  We're always open to feedback! Should you be interested in a specific length that we don't currently carry, kindly send us an email at info@luxyhair.com and we'll be happy to share your suggestion with our Product Development team for future consideration.

• Will Balayage extensions work, even if my hair isn’t balayage?

  Yes. Clip-in extensions are a great way to experiment with color, without the full-time commitment or damage to your natural hair. In order for the extensions to blend, we recommend ensuring that your hair matches the root color of the extensions.

• I have Ombre/highlights in my hair. Can I still wear Balayage?

  Yes. Balayage extensions will blend even if you have Ombre or highlights in your hair. If you have Ombre, the Balayage extensions will add more color and dimension higher up. If you have highlights, the Balayage extensions will add more color towards the ends.

  All Luxy Hair extensions come with a sample weft, therefore, you can take out the weft and hold it up against your hair to see if you’re happy with the blend. If you feel it’s not a good fit, we’ll be happy to accept your package back for a return or exchange.

• Will Balayage extensions work if my hair is short?

• What collections are the Balayage extensions offered in?

  Our Blonde Balayage, Chestnut Brown Balayage, Chocolate Brown Balayage, and Off Black Balayage shades are offered in:

  • 16" Classic: 140g

  • 20" Classic Clip-Ins: 160g and 220g

  • 20" Seamless Clip-Ins: 180g

  Our new Natural Blonde Balayage, Bronde Balayage, Mocha Bronde Balayage, and Dark Ash Brown Balayage shades are only offered in our 20" 180g Seamless Clip-Ins.
• Can I cut the Balayage extensions shorter?

  Yes. Like all of our extensions, our balayage sets can be cut, trimmed and layered. The more you cut from the ends, however, the more it will take away from the balayage effect at the bottom.

• What is Ombre?

  Ombré is a French word, which means "shadow"—it's a process that dyes the hair in a gradation from dark to light. The outcome is usually darker hair from the roots to the mid-shaft and a transition to a lighter color from the mid-shaft through to the ends. With ombré, there is a noticeable color blocking from dark to light, with a smooth transition in between. This technique is meant to look like the hair has been dip-dyed.

• Will Ombre extensions work if I have short hair?

  Yes - we recommend that your hair is at least 9 inches or shorter and that your hair color is a solid shade from root to end. This is because the transition of the Ombre starts 9 inches down the length of each weft. If you have lighter pieces, the extensions will be noticeable and hard to blend.
