What are remy hair extensions?

Remy hair extensions like Zala Hair extensions use only the finest quality of remy human hair. The hair has been carefully sorted after collecting from the hair donor to ensure all the cuticles are of the same length. The hair is then bound at the base with either silk fabric or silicone, and clips are hand-sewn onto the base to create individual wefts.

What Are Zala Hair Extensions Made Of?

Hair extensions are either made of human hair or synthetic materials. Human hair extensions, often from 100% Human Remy hair, offer a natural look and can be styled with heat tools like your own hair. On the other hand, vegan extensions are more budget-friendly but can't handle heat styling as well. PSA: choose the type that suits your styling needs and budget!

What Do the Different Weights Mean?

We’re obsessed with getting that perfect look, and knowing your extension weights is key. Here’s the lowdown:

When shopping for hair extensions, you'll see weights in grams. This tells you how thick and full they’ll be. More grams mean thicker extensions. For a natural vibe, go for lightweight extensions (120-140 grams). For a fuller appearance, heavyweight extensions (220 grams or more) are your best bet.

Pro Tip: If you have thin hair and crave volume, steer clear of the heaviest sets. They can weigh your hair down. Instead, choose lighter weights for hassle-free volume.

How Much Are Remy Clip-In Hair Extensions?

When it comes to hair extensions, prices can vary widely based on several key factors. Understanding these factors can help you choose the best extensions to fit your vibe and budget. Here's what you need to know:

Length + Weight of Hair: Longer and heavier hair extensions will naturally cost more due to the extra material needed. For instance, a Zala 16” 175g Clip-In set costs $149, while a Zala 24” 230g set costs $349.99.
Hair Color: Color also impacts cost. Solid shades are usually less expensive than multi-toned colors like balayage or highlights, requiring more time and resources to perfect.

FAQs

Whether you're new to the world of hair extensions or a seasoned pro, using real human hair extensions means you can treat them just like your own locks. You can wash, dye, and style them with heat, just like your natural hair. But remember, if you're dealing with vegan hair, it’s best to avoid dyeing and excessive heat, as these can cause serious damage. Vegan hair has already been chemically treated, making it less resilient to additional processing.

When it comes to dyeing your real human hair extensions, steer clear of bleach. While Remy extensions can take to bleach, it can compromise their quality and be difficult to reverse. Unlike your own hair, which benefits from natural oils, extensions require more TLC to stay looking iconic. So, opt for gentle shampoos and conditioners, and avoid sulfates and alcohols that can dry out the hair.

For heat styling, always use a heat protectant spray and stick to low to medium heat settings. Keep your styling tools moving to prevent damage, ensuring your extensions stay as flawless as your vibes.

When it comes to hair extensions, their lifespan depends on the type and how well you take care of them. Here’s a quick rundown:

Clip-Ins | Up to 1 year

Tape-Ins | 4-8 weeks

Weave-Ins | 6-8 weeks

Halos®️ |Up to 1 year

Ponytails | Up to 1 year

Wondering about the price tag on hair extensions? Here’s a quick rundown for all our adventurous queens who are ready to slay their mane character moment:

Type of Hair Extension

Vegan hair is budget-friendly ($40-$90), but you’re looking at $45-$500 for Remy human hair extensions. While synthetic hair is easy on the wallet, real human hair gives you the most natural-looking vibes.

Length + Weight

More hair = more money. Our 16" Tape-In sets run $100-$400, but if you’re going for that Rapunzel look with a 26" set, it’ll cost $180 - $720, depending on how much volume you want.

Method Matters

Semi-permanent extensions are a bit pricier since you're paying for both the hair and the professional application. Starting at $130 and averaging around $300, the cost varies with length, weight, and hair type. Remember, installation at a salon ranges from $190-$280, and maintenance every 4-6 weeks is about $100-$150 per visit. On average, you might spend around $1,300 per year.
