Thinking about getting hair extensions for the first time? You probably have a lot of questions — and that's completely normal! We've compiled the most frequently asked questions from our customers to help you feel confident and informed before making your first purchase. Let's dive in! 💇♀️
🔍 General Questions
Q: What are hair extensions made of?
A: Our extensions are made from 100% real Remy human hair — never synthetic. This means they look, feel, and behave exactly like your natural hair. You can wash, heat style, and even color them just like your own strands.
Q: What's the difference between tape-in and clip-in extensions?
A: Tape-ins are semi-permanent extensions applied with adhesive tape that last 6–8 weeks. Clip-ins are temporary and can be put in and taken out daily in minutes. Both are great options depending on your lifestyle! 👉 Shop Tape-In Extensions | Shop Clip-In Extensions
Q: Will extensions damage my natural hair?
A: Not when applied and cared for correctly! High-quality, lightweight extensions with proper maintenance are completely safe. Always use a professional remover solution for tape-ins and never pull or yank them out.
Q: Can I wear extensions if I have thin or fine hair?
A: Absolutely! Choose lightweight, ultra-thin Invisi Edge extensions for the most natural, undetectable look on fine hair. 👉 DOORES Invisi Edge Tape-In | Sindra Invisi Edge Tape-In
🎨 Color & Matching Questions
Q: How do I find the right color match?
A: Always match to the mid-lengths of your hair — not the roots or ends. Check our color options in natural daylight for the most accurate comparison. When in doubt, go slightly lighter — it's easier to darken than lighten.
Q: Can I color or tone my extensions?
A: Yes! Since all our extensions are 100% real human hair, they can be professionally toned or colored. We recommend going darker rather than lighter to avoid over-processing.
Q: What if my hair has highlights or balayage?
A: Choose a balayage or highlighted extension to match your dimension. 👉 Full Shine Balayage Tape-In | Full Shine Brown with Blonde Highlights | DOORES Dirty Blonde Highlight Tape-In
📏 Length & Amount Questions
Q: How do I choose the right length?
A: Go 2–4 inches longer than your desired result, as extensions blend into your natural hair and appear slightly shorter. Measure your current hair length and use our size guide to find your perfect match.
Q: How many pieces do I need?
A: For subtle volume: 10–14 pieces (25–50g). For noticeable fullness and length: 20 pieces (50g). For a full, dramatic transformation: a 7-piece clip-in set (110–120g).
Q: What length options do you carry?
A: We carry extensions from 12 to 26 inches to suit every hair goal:
- 12 Inch — Full Shine Short Hair Volume
- 18 Inch — DOORES Invisi Edge
- 20 Inch — DOORES Seamless Jet Black
- 26 Inch — DOORES Burgundy Bold Length
🧴 Care & Maintenance Questions
Q: How often should I wash my extensions?
A: Wash tape-ins 1–2 times per week with sulfate-free shampoo. Clip-ins can be washed every 15–20 wears. Always let extensions air dry or use low heat.
Q: What products should I use on my extensions?
A: Use sulfate-free shampoo, a gentle conditioner, and nourishing treatments. Avoid applying oils or conditioner directly on tape bonds.

Q: How long do extensions last?
A: Tape-in extensions last 6–8 weeks before repositioning, and the hair itself can be reused 2–3 times. Clip-ins last 6–12 months with proper care.
Q: Can I swim or exercise with extensions?
A: Yes, but take precautions! Braid your hair before swimming, apply a protective oil, and rinse immediately after. For exercise, wear your hair up to minimize sweat near the bonds.
