OUR ALL-TIME FAVOURITE
FLAT TRACK WEAVE
Flat Track Weaves are the best new type of hair extensions out there! Why are they the best? They are long lasting, non damaging, and easy to install. We are always concerned about the integrity of the hair, and weβve found after years of testing, that the Flat Track Weaves are the least damaging type of hair extensions. Aside from that, you can re-use the hair over and over for up to 1 year! This makes them the longest lasting extensions around, saving you time and money.
HOW ARE THEY INSTALLED?
STEP ONE
ADDING THE BEADS
First step, we weave small, silicone lined micro beads into the hair in a track. We use these beads as they are soft silicone on the inside, meaning they wonβt slip, or cause any damage to your hair.
STEP TWO
WEAVING IN THE HAIR
After the beads are in, we then sew the weft (which is like a curtain of hair into the beads.
STEP THREE
CUT & STYLE
Once the beads and weft are in, itβs time to cut and style your hair. Weft is best is our motto!
STEP FOUR
YOUR DREAM HAIR IS COMPLETE!
Enjoy your new hair! Weft extensions are to be moved up every 6-8 weeks, so you can reuse the hair over and over for 1+ years! A one time investment of the hair lasts a long time. You will love your wefts so much, we guarantee it!
TAPE EXTENSIONS
We offer luxurious Invisi-Tape Hair Extensions that are quick to install and can be re-used. Our injected Invisi-Tape gives the appearance of a seamless blend and is one of the most undetectable types of hair extensions. Invisi-Tape hair extensions work well on any type of hair, but are most requested on fine hair as they are light weight and slimline. These require maintenance every 4-6 weeks to ensure the best outcome for your hair.
KERATIN BOND
Keratin Bonds are a type of extension that is bonded into your hair. They are individual strands of hair attached to small sections of your hair. The bonds are attached using a heat fusion machine. The keratin bond is made up of natural proteins similar to your hair and nails. This means it does not cause damage or irritation to your scalp as it is a natural protein! Keratin Bonds last around 3-6 months depending on your hair type, texture and lifestyle. We recommend coming in every 6-8 weeks for a maintenance appointment where we can clean up any outgrown hair to ensure no knotting or damage occurs.

Hair Candy uses the highest quality hair! Our hair is 100% human Remy European Hair! We only use double drawn hair so the thickness is always beautiful and consistent.
-
We believe you should only buy hair extensions that are 100% Remy Hair. This has to do with how the hair extensions are prepared and made. All the hair should be going in the same direction with the cuticle intact. Remy Hair is silky, smooth and is less likely to tangle/matt/knot.

In a lot of cases the damage caused by extensions comes down to how well they are maintained. Hair Extensions do require extra work however when applied correctly they will not cause damage to your natural hair. A good care routine will help ensure both your hair and the extensions stay healthy!
-
The lifespan of extensions varies depending on what products have been used on them, lifestyle choices and also how often they are maintained.
Regular maintenance, which includes brushing daily, wearing your hair in a braid to bed and when swimming and exercising will help maintain your extensions. As your hair grows the extensions will naturally grow out with your hair. Proper treatment, such as using our recommended hair products will extend the life of your hair extensions. It is not possible to state an exact time frame as each person has different results. The average time for poorly maintained extensions is 3-6 months. If you look after them correctly they can last 6-12 months. Some of our diligent clients have used the same hair for 18 months, but generally most people choose to get new hair approximately every 6 months.
-
When the extensions are initially applied there may be some discomfort caused for the first 2-5 days. Of course this varies for each person. The extensions are a foreign object in your hair so when youβre sleeping it can take a few nights to adjust to the feeling. Once they have loosened though they are completely pain free and do not feel heavy at all!
-
No, you can still go to the beach or head to the gym just as often as you usually do! If you do continue with this type of lifestyle you may need to use more products to rehydrate the extensions. The extensions do dry out quicker than your natural hair so if they arenβt maintained and looked after properly the lifespan will decrease.
-
All our staff are highly qualified and trained to ensure the extensions are as non-detectable as possible! The extensions can be applied in a way that allows you to wear your hair up in a top knot or high pony and not be seen.
