How many extensions do I need for extra length?
We suggest applying 100g + when adding length, which is considered a full head application. However for very thick or shorter, blunt hairstyles we recommend applying 150g + for a natural, blended finish.
How many extensions do I need for adding volume?
We suggest applying 50g + when wanting to create extra volume only – more is required if wanting to add extra length.
How many extensions do I need when using extensions for adding colour?
Hair extensions are an incredible way to add express colour to your client's hair when they are already in the chair – you can sell them tapes per sandwich to create definition. Eg: 2 x Kaine Vakai 7cm wide tapes either side of the face to create a face frame / balayage look. Not only is the client achieving the desired colour but they also achieve extra volume and style longevity without the damage of colouring the hair.
Can I colour my extensions?
Please be aware that any colour service on Jadore hair voids the 9 month warranty.
Plenty of our Jadore customers colour their extensions with no problems at all. It is safe to apply a semi permanent colour using no more than a 1.5% developer to either deepen the level or to tone. Do not attempt to bleach or lighten your Jadore hair as this will only cause irreversible damage to your extensions. Please ensure you apply the desired colour to a test strand first, as we cannot be held responsible for any issues you may encounter during or after any colouring of your Jadore hair.
What products can I use on my new Jadore hair?
For the 9 month warranty, the client will need to purchase Jadore shampoo, conditioner and mask.
It is very important to use only the recommended products on your beautiful new Jadore locks! We want your extensions to last you a long time and continue to feel fabulous, this is why we only recommend the use of our specifically formulated Jadore Haircare products. Our professional Jadore products have been created in a pharmaceutical laboratory with the focus on gentle formulations free of nasties, which damage our natural hair as well as hair extensions. Our products are strictly sulphate, paraben and protein free so they are safe for all extension methods. Any products that contain protein and sulfate will cause irreversible damage to your new hair.
How do I care for my new Jadore hair?
Please note: for all tape methods it is highly important for the client to not use shampoos and conditioners that contain alcohols and oils, as these are key ingredients in our tape removal sprays.
- Use Jadore Hair Supplies' haircare range to warrant your extensions.
- Concentrate shampoo on your own scalp rather than on extensions.
- Concentrate conditioner / treatment on extensions.
- Extensions require maintenance every 4–8 weeks to keep the natural hair safe, damage free and manageable.
- Dry hair gently with a hairdryer on low-medium heat.
- Always tie hair back when sleeping – a loose plait is best.
- Applying regular moisture treatments is a necessary part of maintaining hair extensions.
- Apply Jadore Serum daily for the best upkeep of your extensions.
- Do not sleep with wet hair.
- Brush hair daily with the recommended hair extension brush.
- It can be quite normal to lose 1–5 extensions between maintenance appointments – these can be re-applied by your technician.
- Apply Jadore Heat and Protect spray prior to using heat styling tools.
- Heat style below 180 degrees. High or excessive heat will cause significant colour fading and change.
- Rinse hair after swimming in chlorine or salt water.
- Avoid washing hair for 48–72 hours following tape hair extension application. It is very important for tape extensions to be completely dried off after every wash, and not to be left wet.
- Do NOT use hot tools on the root area of any of the methods as this will melt bonds and cause tape residue.
- When swimming, wear hair in loose plaits, never a bun or top knot.
- Be extremely mindful when using sunscreens near your extensions, especially if the sunscreen contains Avobenzone or Octocrylene as they will discolour extension hair.
How long will my Jadore hair last?
We want your extensions to last you a long time and continue to feel fabulous, this is why we only recommend the use of our specifically formulated Jadore haircare products. By following the correct care and maintenance our premium hair extensions should last you between 9–12 months, or even longer. (Refer to our products in our 9 month warranty.)
What does 100% human mean?
Some manufacturers will “bulk” out their product by adding synthetic hair or animal hair (this is sometimes done in Yaki hair). Jadore only uses 100% human, which means it is all ethically sourced human hair and not bulked out with any cheaper fillers.
How is the hair processed?
The hair is taken from donor heads and kept in ponytails to ensure the cuticles all stay in the same downward direction of growth throughout processing. The ponytails are then placed in a gentle bleach bath for as long as is required to lift to the desired level. This process is done very slowly to maintain the quality of the hair. They are then coloured with a chemical dye that does not require lifting the cuticle, as this again maintains the quality of the hair, to tone to the desired shade. It is then sorted into its draw (see ‘What does double drawn mean?’) and turned into whatever application method we desire. It is passed through a chemical process that sanitises the hair, smooths the cuticle and is then packaged for shipping. Hair is generally sold by weight, usually in grams.
What does virgin mean?
This is hair that has not been chemically processed in any way, including being coloured or chemically straightened. At Jadore we have a sourcing team that selects only this hair for us that is the highest quality for our premium collection of hair extensions. You will feel the difference, especially over time!
Where does hair come from?
People specifically choose to grow hair to sell as a commercial enterprise. They will sell to hair merchants that collect the hair from various donors and grade the hair according to its quality. Hair is sourced from various parts of the world, according to the thickness and characteristics desired.
What does double drawn mean?
The “draw” means how much the hair has been refined or sorted into length. The higher the “draw” the more consistent each strand is to the next in relation to length. This is done by pulling the hair through a specialised comb that separates inconsistent hairs. Jadore Hair is double drawn, meaning it is thick and 80–90% of the hairs are consistent in length all the way to the bottom. This gives you a thick, lush, full head of hair without having to add an excessive number of extensions.
How often do you need to move up the extensions?
Jadore hair extensions require refitting every 4–6 weeks, depending on your hair and your lifestyle. Some people with finer hair or more active lifestyles may require refitting at earlier intervals than others. It is important to understand the refitting intervals recommended by your stylist are to safeguard your hair from damage by refreshing the attachment before natural shedding can make the natural hair too fine to hold the additional weight of your extensions. (Keratin bonds can last up to 3 months.)
Is the hair ethically sourced?
At Jadore, we are in the business of helping women look and feel their most beautiful – that's why it's always been so important to us to ensure all our hair is 100% ethically sourced, from donor to manufacture. Ethically sourced hair is hair that has been willingly donated by an individual who has given their consent and been paid a fair and equitable wage for their donation. It matters to us that our hair has been obtained in a moral fashion, and that our donors are fairly compensated and treated. Our commitment to ethical standards also extends into our manufacturing processes. We are fortunate enough to have a well-established long-term relationship with our manufacturing team. Within this team we have our trusted hair buyers that select 100% Remy ponytail hair from all regions, to the highest quality, to ensure your satisfaction.
Can you perm the hair?
We do not recommend or guarantee it, as the extensions have already undergone extensive chemical processing. Perming the hair extensions will void your warranty and possibly damage the integrity / quality of your hair extensions.
How long after an application do you need to leave it before washing your hair?
You will need to leave the extensions to bond by not exposing them to water or washing for at least 48–72 hours after application.
Can you use keratin or Plex treatments on extensions?
No. The process used to lift or lighten Jadore Hair Extensions is very gentle; this maintains the protein bonds in the hair that regular in-salon lightening breaks down. Too much of this protein in the hair can make the hair brittle. Keratin straightening treatments are great to use prior to extension application, however the treatment does leave a coating on the outside of the hair so needs to be performed 2 weeks prior to tape extension application.
What is the haircare range Jadore offer?
Jadore offers a comprehensive haircare range designed specifically to care for your extensions. Within this range we have three shampoos, conditioner, treatment, blonde care, heat protection and serum, all designed to be extension safe and maintain the warranty on your precious hair investment. It is important you do not use anything containing the below ingredients:
SULPHATES
Sulphates are a surfactant designed to break down oils on the hair and carry dirt from the hair shaft and scalp. These are not only found to be harsh and irritating for the skin, but they are also incredibly drying.
ALCOHOL
Alcohol is not only drying for natural hair, but also what is used to deactivate tape when removing extensions. Use of products with this ingredient can often cause slippage. There are many types of alcohols; Jadore only uses extension safe versions. Many types of alcohol will damage and remove tape and keratin extensions.
CITRUS
Citrus works as a powerful surfactant and can break down the top of tape extensions and dry out the hair, being quite harsh and astringent.
PROTEINS
The lifting process extensions go through is very gentle and slow. This maintains the structure of the proteins that naturally occur in the hair. If high protein products are used regularly on the hair, it can build too much structure within the hair and make it brittle and dry.
SUNSCREEN
Sunscreen or UV filters in some heat protectants can at times create a chemical reaction in the hair and turn sections of the hair a salmon pink or orange. Only use mineral zinc sunscreen when wearing hair extensions.
ARTIFICIAL TAN
Artificial tan can stain the hair where it comes into contact with the body.
MEDICATED / TONING SHAMPOO
Both are very high in alcohol and often contain other astringent agents that can strip and de-bond extensions.
What type of wefts do we have?
We have a variety of options available in weft:
MIRACLE WEFT
Miracle weft has a PU seal at the top instead of a machine stitch to make the weft sit flatter on the head.
SIGNATURE WEFT
Signature weft has a PU mesh instead of a machine stitch to make the weft sit flatter to the head. It also offers an express and invisible application with no sewing and only using beads. Extra holes can be made using a tool.
How are wefts applied?
The Miracle weft is applied by stitching the weft to a track created in the hair using silicone lined beads. The Signature weft is applied by extracting the hair through holes using a hook and then securing with a bead.
How often do I need to have my Weft Hair Extensions moved up?
All maintenance intervals are designed to optimise the health of the natural hair, not necessarily how long you can get the extension bond to last. Due to naturally occurring shedding slowly thinning the natural hair section the extension is attached to, we recommend you refit all types of extensions once every 4–6 weeks.
What type of thread and beads can I use for Weft Hair Extensions?
Silicone lined Micro Beads are used to create the track of natural hair (in place of a traditional braid) as they are lined with a silicone sleeve that cushions the natural hair from damage, or Needle & Marine Grade Thread. We offer both cool and warm thread shades as well as mini and standard size beads.
Can I reuse the beads when I have my hair extensions moved up?
No, the beads need to be squeezed to hold for placement and reopened to release for moving up or removing the extensions. The clamping manipulates the elasticity of the metal bead, so it is always best to use new beads.
What is a Tape Extension?
Jadore hair extensions are used either in pairs or as an individual piece with a single sided tape on the other side to seal. A fine section of the natural hair is sectioned and sandwiched between the two extensions to seal, using a hypoallergenic tape adhesive. The tape adhesive will last 4–6 weeks before requiring removal and refitting. To remove, an alcohol-based solution is sprayed on the connection and the tape is loosened to slide out. Jadore residue remover is a secondary spray that ensures any sticky residue is removed from the hair. Please ensure hair is then thoroughly cleansed with Jadore Clarifying shampoo, with no conditioner, and dried completely before the tape refit installation. All extension removal processes should be performed by a trained hair professional to ensure the integrity of your natural hair and longevity of the extensions.
Can I colour my natural hair on the same day as having them applied?
During a colour service, it is important to know that the hair cuticle will swell and this oxidation process can take up to 72 hours to reduce back down to the normal hair shaft size. Keeping this in mind, particularly with the method of tape extensions, if the extensions are applied on the same day as a colour service and slippage occurs, this is not considered a product fault. The slippage is due to the colour process and installation on the same day. To avoid this it's best to wait; many salons do not have any issues, however it is never guaranteed as all colour brands are not the same. If concerned and a tape application is absolutely necessary, it may be best to consider using some extra hold retape sheets as a precaution to this risk. Weft methods are not as restrictive as they require many beads secured and thread, depending on weft type.
Can I use a keratin, nanoplasty or chemical straightening prior to applying Tapes?
If you require a chemical straightening prior to applying extensions, we recommend you leave it at least 2 weeks before applying extensions. Keratin, nanoplasty and chemical straightening create an extra smooth seal on the cuticle, often too smooth for a secure bond adhesion. An ideal hair cuticle for a great bond seal is cleansed with clarifying shampoo, no conditioner, and thoroughly dried off, leaving a porous, rough cuticle for the bond to adhere to.
How often do I need to have my Tape Hair Extensions moved up?
For safe, damage free extension wear it is recommended you have your tape extensions removed and refitted every 4–6 weeks.
How long after a fitting before I can wash my hair?
Please allow 48–72 hours.
How do you re-tape the hair to reapply?
Jadore hair supplies offer two strengths of pre-cut tape tabs, classic hold and extra strength. We also offer a single sided tape option that allows single piece extensions to be applied for a finer hair type, rather than a sandwich of 2 extensions applied together. We also have a replacement tape roll that can be cut to size and is the preferred tape for the Kaine Vakai 7cm wide range.
Will tapes suit my hair?
Tape extensions are the most popular extension method, due to their versatility, natural look and suitability for a multitude of hair types and uses, along with fast application in the chair, particularly for partial placements to fill in common hair loss areas. Tape extensions suit all hair types and are gentle on the hair when applied and removed correctly.
Do they cause damage?
Tape hair extensions are gentle and safe for natural hair provided they are applied correctly by a professional, correct maintenance and care is followed, and the refit intervals are adhered to at the recommended time, between 4–6 weeks.
How are they attached?
Tape extensions are often used in pairs, with one adhesive tab on each. The two adhesive sides are paired together with a thin section of natural hair in between. The adhesive expands, creating a bond to the hair shaft as well as to each other through the hair strands. This bond takes approximately 72 hrs to form, which is why we ask that you do not wash your hair or get it wet during this time.
Are they suitable for all hair types?
Yes, they are suitable for all hair types, however the installation method for a full head takes significantly longer to install and remove than weft and tapes.
What are they best suited for?
Keratin bonds are beautiful to use around the hairline and for hair loss on the front sections of the head. Keratin flat tips can be cut in half to make a smaller sized mini bond, perfect for clients with fine hair.
Can my Keratin tips be reused?
Yes, we have keratin powder available in clear, black and brown colour options to create new custom bonds, either from existing keratin bonds or utilising hair from Jadore wefts or tape extensions.
Why should I use these in my salon?
Clients absolutely love when a stylist can customise their extensions using multi-method techniques for a natural and beautiful finish. For eg: the stylist can create custom keratin bonds using the hot tool and bonding powder to make mini bonds from the client's weft, so they can have weft in the back for length and fine individual bonds around the face.
What beads are used for I-Tip extensions?
The ideal product to use for this product is our 1000 jar copper microbeads. These come in a 7mm long unlined copper bead with a fluted end. They are available in three colours and come coated so as not to oxidise in the hair.
Can I reuse the beads when I have my hair extensions moved up?
No. Clamping the bead down compromises the elasticity of the metal, so it is always best to use new beads.
Will I-Tips suit my hair?
Microbeads are best suited to people with medium to thick hair as they are individual strands that require a specific density in each section the extension is attached to, otherwise they are prone to slippage. As these cannot be halved in size like keratin can be, they are only suited to medium to thick hair, not finer hair types, or they will not look as natural.
How are they attached?
A small section of hair is threaded through the top of a bead, then a strand of extension with a tip on the top (similar to the look of the end of a shoelace) is threaded into the bottom of the bead. The bead is then pressed closed to hold the tip in the natural hair.
Do they damage the hair?
Damage only ever occurs if the extensions have been poorly applied, maintenance and care has not been followed, or if they are left to grow out past the recommended maintenance period. It is important to ensure that salons applying your extensions are accredited in safe application methods.
What options do you have in clip ins?
We offer an 8 piece set which is 150 grams, and a 2 piece set which is 30 grams.
How are they attached?
Each piece has a number of clips on it depending on the size of the pieces. Each piece comes with a small comb fixture that snaps shut when you apply pressure. Each comb is lined with a rubber stopper to avoid damage to the natural hair.
What do I wash it with?
Use Jadore Luxury Boost Shampoo followed by Jadore Intense Hydration Conditioner to keep in optimal condition.
How do I store my clip-ins?
Jadore offers a beautiful hanging storage bag to keep your extensions ready to go whenever you need them.
How do I get my clip-ins to blend with my natural hair?
We recommend having them installed and cut by a professional when you first purchase them, and then you'll have a ‘clip in map’ on where to place each piece. If you have a blunt cut or have very thick hair you may need to have your clip ins more customised before you wear them. Always allow a trained professional to do this.
