FAQ

Are hair extensions harmful to your own hair?2024-09-13T16:39:13+02:00

When applying hair extensions, three things are always important:

  • The Right Brand: the quality of the hair and the attachment is of great importance. And not all brands meet the requirements we set for hair extensions.
  • The Hair Extension Specialist: Applying hair extensions the right way is very precise. Watching a video on YouTube and then trying it yourself is absolutely not an option!! Applying extensions is specialist work and should therefore only be done by trained professionals. NOTE: removing and replacing hair extensions the right way is just as important as applying them!
  • The Right Maintenance: hair extensions need good care. So always use the right products from professional brands; shampoo, conditioner, mask and extension brush. We advise using the products from RANA Care.

If the above three points are met, hair extensions are absolutely not harmful to your own hair. Have the Invisilocks checked once a month. That is FREE for our customers!. Replace StickTips, Perfect Wefts and Quick & Easy extensions every 6 to 8 weeks to prevent falling out.

In the RANA Studio you can always be 100% sure that a big 10 will be scored on all these points!!

WIP – Are hair extensions suitable for everyone?2024-09-13T16:39:13+02:00

NB! Unfortunately, it may also be the case that extensions cannot be placed or that certain coloring techniques are not possible.

Causes of this include frequent hair loss, medication use, poor quality of your own hair (e.g. due to wrong/too many colours or a permanent) or pregnancy. Our specialists will always be honest about this and make this known to you. We will therefore never dye or place hair extensions if this will not look nice or if there are other valid reasons not to do so.

What systems do you use?2024-09-13T16:39:13+02:00

In the RANA Studio, hair extensions are placed using different systems:

  • Invisilocks
  • StickTips
  • PerfectWefts
  • Quick & Easy
  • iFlip
  • iClip Extensions

We work without exception with 100% real Human Remy hair. Top quality guaranteed!! All extensions are available in different colors and application techniques.

Which hairpiece do I need?2024-09-13T16:40:15+02:00

The type of hairpiece that someone needs varies greatly from person to person. It depends on the amount of their own hair that is still present. This is always custom-made and will be discussed and considered per person. Of course, your wishes will always be taken into account.

What kind of hair do your hairpieces have?2024-09-20T17:51:05+02:00

Our hairpieces are available in different hair fibers including 100% real hair, synthetic hair and Elite Hair. The optimal choice is different for each person.

How much does a hairpiece cost?2024-09-13T16:40:15+02:00

This is always different per person. The price for a hairpiece depends on the following factors:

  • The length, thickness, amount of hair of the hairpiece
  • Is the hairpiece ready-made, semi-ready-made or custom-made?
  • What hair fibers is the hairpiece made of (Human Hair, Elite Hair, Synthetic)
  • …and of course what your wishes are
What is the difference between a hairpiece, hair prosthesis, wig and hairpiece?2024-09-13T16:40:15+02:00

These different names are often used for the same thing. In the form of partial or complete baldness, it means the same thing. It is a (temporary) solution for a hair problem in the broadest sense of the word.

When do I receive my order?2024-09-13T16:35:08+02:00

If you have ordered and paid on the following days (e.g. Bancontact) before 4:00 PM, it will be delivered on the relevant days.

Do you have to shave off your own hair if you want to wear a wig?2024-09-13T16:40:14+02:00

No, you can nicely conceal your own hair under the hairpiece. We can give you all the information about this during a Free Consultation.

If I am taking medication and/or pregnant, can I get extensions?2024-09-13T16:41:06+02:00

If you are pregnant or have just given birth, it is possible that your hormone balance will cause quite a bit of hair loss. This can also happen due to the use of certain medication (read the package insert for this). If this is the case, we advise against placing extensions. Due to natural hair loss, the extensions will also fall out faster. If you still want extensions, this is of course possible, but it is advisable to discuss this clearly in advance. However, the guarantee will then always be void.

Can I go swimming with my hairpiece?2024-09-20T18:00:32+02:00

You could swim with a hairpiece made of real hair, but we definitely do not recommend it. The salt and chlorine content will affect the hairpiece. The quality of the hairpiece can deteriorate due to the corroding of salt or chlorine. Sunscreen, body lotions, self-tanners, spray tans, etc. can discolour the hairpiece! Especially in combination with sun, chlorine, salt and/or heat. Due to the chemical reaction, this can even cause green or orange locks.

Our advice is to wear a swimming cap. Then no one will see that you are not wearing a wig and your hairpiece will remain nicely intact. If you wear a swimming cap, it will not even be noticeable that you are temporarily not wearing your wig. If you still want to swim with your hairpiece, rinse it thoroughly immediately afterwards and wash it with the RANA Silky Shampoo and then take care of it with the RANA Majestic Mask or the RANA Conditioner Complex.

Can I go swimming with extensions?2024-09-20T17:36:06+02:00

If you are going swimming, wear your hair in a braid, this prevents knots. If you are going into the sea or chlorinated water, we advise you not to go under water with your head. The bonds of the extensions can be affected by the salt and chlorine content. This can cause the bonds to separate (white flakes) and crumble (falling out of the extensions). The quality of the hair can also deteriorate due to the corroding of salt or chlorine. Sunscreen, body lotions, self-tanners, spray tans, etc. can discolour the extensions! Especially in combination with sun, chlorine, salt and/or heat. Due to the chemical reaction, this can even cause green or orange locks.

If you still want to go under water, rinse your hair thoroughly immediately afterwards and wash it with the RANA Silky Shampoo and then take care of it with the RANA Majestic Mask or the RANA Conditioner Complex.

Does the color match my own hair?2024-09-20T17:49:12+02:00

Yes, we have many colours in stock and can always put together the perfect colour for you.

If you want to put extensions, you are always welcome at RANA for a FREE and non-binding consultation. We will then look together at what type of hair and color you currently have, the thickness of your own hair and of course what your wishes are. Based on this, the right extensions are selected and the price is determined. This also depends on the length of the extensions and the amount of extensions that are going to be placed.

Can I return my product?2024-09-13T16:35:08+02:00

Yes, this is certainly possible at RANA!! Undamaged and unused products can be returned within 14 days. The following conditions apply:

Can I wear my hairpiece while sleeping?2024-09-13T16:46:13+02:00

We strongly advise against this because the hairpiece will be damaged much faster by the friction. This will make your hairpiece last much less long. If you do suffer from heat loss or if you feel very insecure without a hairpiece, we advise you to wear a hat.

Can I color my hairpiece?2024-09-13T16:40:14+02:00

The 100% Human Hair hairpieces from RANA can in principle be dyed, but we strongly advise against it. The hair has already been color treated and is therefore always (slightly) more porous than your own natural hair. In addition, the hair of the extensions has a different DNA than your own hair, which means that the dye can adhere differently to the hairpiece. If you still want to color it, only have this done by specialized hair workers and certainly do not use bleaching or bleaching. Please note that if you color the hairpiece, the warranty will always expire.

Elite Hair and Synthetic hairpieces CANNOT be colored.

Can I brush, straighten or curl my hairpiece?2024-09-20T17:38:45+02:00

Yes, the hairpieces that are made of Human Hair can be processed with heat. This is possible because it is 100% real hair. Always use professional styling tools, because they damage the hair less. NB: always use a heat protection for the hair.

We recommend using GHD styling tools. We also work with these in our Studio. And that's not without reason! All GHD products are available from us in Antwerp or via the RANA Webshop. NB: The Elite Hair and Synthetic hairpieces are subject to this NOT can be processed with heat.

Can I dye my extensions?2024-09-13T16:42:28+02:00

RANA hair extensions can in principle be dyed, but we strongly advise against it. The hair has already been color treated and is therefore always (slightly) more porous than your own natural hair. The hair of the extensions also has a different DNA than your own hair, which means that the dye can adhere differently to the extensions than to your own hair. If you still want to dye it, then only with a low peroxide content (max. 6% / 10 Vol.) and certainly no bleaching or bleaching. Please note that if you dye the extensions, the warranty will always expire.

Can I just brush my extensions?2024-09-13T16:39:13+02:00

It is very important that the extensions are brushed very well on a regular basis. This prevents the hair from tangling and creating knots that cannot be combed out. Brushing can only be done with the extension brush intended for this purpose. Always start from the ends and slowly brush upwards. Also always brush thoroughly before washing the hair.

Can I reuse my extensions?2024-09-13T16:41:06+02:00

The Invisilocks are very difficult to put back. This is because the bonding crumbles apart with the removal by the RANA Rapid Remover. This is to remove it properly from your own hair without damaging it (very important!!). As a result, the hair of the Invisilocks will no longer come back together nicely and the same beautiful result can never be achieved again. In short: it is no longer beautiful! So that is why we do not do that.

The StickTips, Perfect Wefts and the Quick & Easy extensions can be reused. These are made to be put back in. This is done every 6 to 8 weeks, depending on how fast your own hair grows.

Can I blow-dry, straighten and curl my extensions?2024-09-20T17:37:21+02:00

You can definitely process the extensions with heat. This is possible because it is 100% real hair. Always use professional styling tools, because they damage the hair less. Note: always use a heat protector for the hair.

We recommend the styling tools from GHD to use. We also work with this in our Studio. And that is not without reason!

All GHD products are available from us in Antwerp or via the RANA Webshop.

Can I cancel my order?2024-09-13T16:35:08+02:00

When canceling an order, the costs of return shipping are at your own expense.

Can I just brush my hairpiece?2024-09-13T16:40:14+02:00

It is very important to brush the hairpiece very well on a regular basis. This prevents the hair from tangling and creating knots that cannot be combed out. Brushing can only be done with the designated hairpiece brush. Always start from the ends and slowly brush upwards. Also always brush thoroughly before washing the hairpiece.

Is a hairpiece always necessary if you are transgender, or can I also be helped with extensions?2024-09-13T16:40:14+02:00

A hairpiece is certainly not always necessary. If you still have enough hair, we can also place extensions for an optimal result. We can look at all of this together in advance. Feel free to come by for a Free Consultation.

Is a hairpiece always possible?2024-09-13T16:40:14+02:00

A hairpiece (toppiece / partial hairpiece) is possible if the baldness or hair loss is only on top of the head. A complete wig / hairpiece is always possible. Feel free to make an appointment for a Consultation to see what solutions are available for you.

I have short hair and I would like to get hair extensions. Is that possible?2024-09-13T16:39:12+02:00

The top of your hair should reach at least below your earlobe to create a nice extension. If your hair is too short, we cannot make a nice transition from your own hair to the lengths of the extensions, which means you will see too much difference.

I have very thin hair, is it always necessary to get a hairpiece?2024-09-13T16:40:14+02:00

This is certainly not always necessary. It depends on how thin the hair is, especially on top. Sometimes it is also possible to fill in your own hair nicely with extensions. Do you want to know for sure what we can do for you? Then feel free to make an appointment.

How much time should I allow for a treatment?2024-09-13T16:39:12+02:00

This depends on the amount of extensions that are placed. In addition, the attachment system is also decisive. For example, if we assume a complete extension treatment of 150 pieces with the Invisilocks (wax) system, this takes about 3 hours.

How many hair extensions do I need?2024-09-13T16:39:12+02:00

The amount of extensions someone needs varies greatly from person to person. It depends on which system is used and what type of hair you have. This is always custom work and will be discussed and considered per person. Of course, your wishes will always be taken into account.

If you have fine (thin) hair, the amount of extensions needed is significantly less than someone with a full head of hair. This person needs a lot of hair extensions, to keep the difference between their own hair and the length that comes with it the same.

It is really not nice if too few extensions are placed. You can clearly see the transition from your own hair to the extensions. And that is exactly what not the intention. This page contains guidelines on the amount of extensions you need.

That is different for each person. 100% customization!

For a free and professional advice tailored to your needs, you can always come to us. You are more than welcome!! And of course we do this for you completely FREE.

How long can extensions last?2024-09-13T16:42:28+02:00

  • Invisilocks: Depending on your hair type, hair length and care, the average wearing time is 3 to 5 months.
  • StickTips / Perfect Weft / Quick & Easy: Depending on your hair type, hair length and care, the average wearing time is 6-8 weeks. The advantage of this is that they can be repositioned!!

On average, everyone's hair grows about 1 cm per month.

How are the extensions removed?2024-09-13T16:39:12+02:00
  • Invisilocks: We have developed the RANA Rapid Remover for this: a special solvent that ensures that the bonding becomes porous. Then the Invisilocks bonding is broken by means of a removal pliers, so that it comes loose from the own hair. After this we can very easily slide the extension down from the own hair, without causing damage to the own hair.
  • StickTips / Perfect Wefts: The rings are squeezed open one by one with special pliers. The extension then slides out of the hair.
  • Quick & Easy: A special sticker dissolving liquid ensures that the tape releases and can be removed from the hair.

As an average we can assume a year. This is only if the hairpiece is cared for in the right way and with the right products. We often see that this wearing time is also longer.

How can I best care for my hairpiece?2024-09-20T17:59:08+02:00

The care of your hairpiece is very important. Just like the care of your own hair! The quality of your hairpiece will deteriorate or become drier when using the wrong products.
