Well, I'm here to tell you something and it might surprise you. It is estimated that over 30% of hair extensions sales are by or for (purchased by the salon) for women over the age of 40s. How did we work this out? Well before we invested the time into photographing each hair extensions item we sell (and we sell literally hundreds) we had a lot of emails for colour matches. Around 30% of these women were older women who realised the powerful transformations they could achieve with hair extensions whether it be for volume or for both volume and length. While many women in their 40's and over may be a lot less interested in posting photos online it doesn't mean hair extensions are not their best hair secret.
We have been in the hair extensions industry for many years and have been advising and guiding our customers in the right direction whether they have light hair or dark hair, short hair, or if they are young or more mature.
Over the years we have many asking whether hair extensions will make them look older if they are over 40 so here we are to answer just that.
Hair extensions can make a dramatic difference to your look but often in a subtle and hard to pinpoint way. The amazing thing is, most people (unless you go for a very long look) won't actually realise you have hair extensions and often will make comments such as how "rested" or you look "healthy" or they may ask if you have lost weight or been working out, rather than picking hair extensions as the reason for your enhanced appearance.
Long, thick hair has always been perceived as a sign of youth and fertility, this is a deeply rooted biological view. This view is hard-wired into both women and men so it makes sense that hair extensions will have an anti-aging effect when done properly. Given also that in their later years women’s hair isn’t what it used to be. This means for women in their 40s and 50s its the perfect time to replenish their looks with hair extensions.
Unfortunately, hair thinning with age is almost guaranteed. Genetically hair deteriorates with age. Your cells are less able to reproduce as you age, plus changes in hormones mean diminished estrogen, which effects the hairs strength, elasticity and colour.
Luckily hair extensions especially tape hair extensions are lightweight so when applied correctly do not cause tension or damage when applied to the strongest part of the hair being and the roots meaning almost everyone can wear extensions safely.
Now more than ever, even the finest hair can be thickened gently & beautifully with hair extensions. At Pure whether you’re in your 40s, 50s or beyond, we can give you an array of options to easily get the look you've always dreamed of.Generally speaking, women of a certain age, especially of the non-celebrity variety, tend to regard long hair as age-inappropriate. We might just about get away with it shoulder-length, but anything longer was seen as inappropriate.
Women of all ages want to feel confident about their appearance, and aside from cosmetic surgery, nothing can enhance your looks as quickly or effectively as hair extensions and for so much less money and stress than going under the knife.
Tape-in hair extensions these days have made leaps and bounds as far as it comes to attention to detail, colour variations, discreetness, and comfort. This means hair extensions are perfect for those, who want to enhance their length, add volume or change up the color and or style without a long-term commitment. Plus, there is not any damage to the hair.
Hair extensions use is by female celebrities whether regularly or occasionally is estimated to be around 97%. It makes sense, when you consider that they can go from a bob to mermaid hair literally within an hour or two.
Celebrities just like the rest of us want to look their best and often our self-esteem depends on whether we feel confident when we look at ourselves in the mirror. If you love what you see you will often feel much happier and fulfilled in life.
We have been in the business of helping women to look and feel their best, whatever their age and the characteristics of their natural hair for over 15 years and have the necessary understanding of all methods, characteristics and types of hair extensions.
The right hair extensions will work like magic on your image, so get in touch with us or go online to pick the perfect hair to boost your looks for far less money, time and effort you ever thought possible.

Tape-In Hair Extensions:
THE PROS:
Tape hair extensions have gained popularity for several reasons, and people often find them to be a good option for adding length and volume to their hair. Here are some reasons why tape hair extensions are considered advantageous:
Natural Look: Tape hair extensions are known for providing a natural and seamless look. The tapes lie flat against the scalp, making them less noticeable than some other types of extensions. The extension strands move and blend with your natural hair, creating a more authentic appearance.
Comfortable to Wear: Tape extensions are generally lightweight and flexible, making them comfortable to wear. The tapes are thin and do not create as much tension on the scalp as some other attachment methods, leading to a more comfortable experience for the wearer.
Easy and Quick Application: Tape-in extensions can be applied relatively quickly compared to some other methods. A skilled stylist can attach a full set of tape extensions in a couple of hours, reducing the time spent in the salon compared to other extension techniques.
Versatility in Styling: Tape extensions allow for versatile styling. You can style your hair as you normally would, including curling, straightening, and updos. The tapes are typically placed close to the roots, providing flexibility in styling options without the extensions being easily visible.
Re-usable: In many cases, tape hair extensions are reusable. With proper care and maintenance, the tapes can be removed, cleaned, and re-taped for reapplication. This can make them a cost-effective option in the long run.
Less Damage to Natural Hair: When applied and removed correctly, tape extensions are considered to be less damaging to natural hair compared to some other methods, such as fusion bonding or micro-ring extensions. The tapes are designed to be gentle on the hair and scalp.
Low Maintenance: Tape extensions generally require less maintenance than some other types. They can be easily maintained with regular brushing and care. Maintenance appointments for re-taping are typically needed every 6-8 weeks.
It's important to note that the success and satisfaction with tape hair extensions also depend on proper application, maintenance, and care. Choosing a skilled and experienced stylist is crucial for achieving the best results and minimising any potential issues.
While the drawbacks are generally infrequent, it's essential to be aware of a few points:
Visibility of the Bond:
Issue: Larger extension pieces may become noticeable if not carefully applied, especially near the hairlines, crown, or lower sections of the hair.
Solution: Apply extensions within the base section of the hair, avoiding placement too low, too close to the outer corners, or too high on the head.
Tacky and Gluey Tape:
Issue: Some company's tape can be sticky and messy during reapplication.
Solution: Opt for high-quality tape and use a reliable remover solvent. At Pure, our USA-imported tape is of the highest quality, ensuring clean and effortless removal. Our solvent is hypoallergenic, non-damaging, and non-irritating.
Stark Bonds Against Dark Roots:
Issue: Bonds may stand out if your roots are darker than the mid-lengths to ends.
Solution: Pure offers an easy solution with a variety of short root stretch and balayage extensions. These extensions feature a darker PU strip at the top, extending down to seamlessly blend and create a beautiful deeper root effect, aligning with the popular root shadow and balayage trends.
Most girls have a trusty set of clip-in hair extensions these days since they provide a full transformation in only a few minutes, and best of all you can do it yourself without any special skills or help from anyone else.
These are a great option for those who are not ready to commit to wearing extensions daily, and while some girls do apply them every day as part of their daily routine, this might become tedious in the long term.

If you’re looking for a quick and easy, zero salon maintenance hair enhancer, clip-in hair extensions are the perfect option. As opposed to all other methods of semi-permanent methods which require your stylist to apply, clip in’s can be put in completely by yourself.
THE PROS:
Many individuals now rely on a set of clip-in hair extensions due to their ability to provide a complete transformation within minutes. The key advantages include:
Convenient Transformation:
Clip-in extensions offer a swift and easy way to go from short to long hair, allowing for a quick change in style. They provide a do-it-yourself option without the need for special skills or assistance.
Non-Commitment Option:
Ideal for those not ready to commit to daily wear, clip-ins offer flexibility. While some individuals use them daily, others find them perfect for occasional use or to maintain their long style in between permanent or semi-permanent extensions.
Versatility and Value:
Pure's clip-in hair extensions, with a substantial weight of 200 grams and 10 pieces, provide thickness and quality. The versatility allows you to apply as many or as few pieces as desired for the desired effect.
Quick Application:
Unlike semi-permanent methods requiring a stylist, clip-ins can be effortlessly applied by yourself, eliminating the need for salon maintenance.
THE CONS:
Despite their convenience, clip-in hair extensions come with a few drawbacks:
Not Suitable for Swimming:
Clip-ins should not be used while swimming, making them less than ideal for those who want a cute look at the beach while engaging in water activities.
Not for Overnight Use:
Sleeping with clip-ins can be uncomfortable and may lead to hair damage. It's recommended to remove them before bedtime.
Potential for Damage with Daily Use:
Repeated application of clips in the same position can cause sensitivity and hair loss over time.
Easy Solution: Practice varying the clip positions each week to minimize potential damage.
Daily Commitment and Time-Consuming:
Applying clip-in extensions can be time-consuming if used daily, requiring a commitment to the process.
Limited Lifespan:
Clip-ins may not last as long as permanent extensions due to the lower-grade hair used in their construction.
Easy Solution: Pure Tape Hair Extensions uses the same high-quality hair for clip-ins as permanent extensions, ensuring a longer lifespan with proper care.
Maintenance Tips:
Washing clip-ins less frequently and focusing on the roots to remove oil buildup can extend their lifespan. Reducing heat styling can also contribute to healthier hair.
A weft or weave is a method of hair extension where a curtain of hair is sewn-in at the top to bind the hair together. This curtain is then connected in rows throughout the head, often using beads or by being sewn along a small horizontal braid created in the client's hair.
The application of a weft creates a natural effect because the hair is attached as a continuous curtain rather than individual strands, preventing the appearance of a "stringy" or separated look.
This method is particularly advantageous for individuals with very curly or frizzy hair. In such cases, the client's own hair can be skilfully braided around the head, effectively concealing it and allowing it to be completely replaced by the weft hair.
Our machine-made wefts, are meticulously crafted using high-quality stitching techniques to ensure they do not shed or unravel. These wefts are durable, lie flat against the head, and deliver an extremely natural-looking result when applied correctly.
Designed to be customisable to size, our wefts can be easily measured and cut using scissors. The versatility of this method allows for various attachment options, including Micro or sewing the weft into the hair. This adaptability ensures that clients can choose the application method that best suits their preferences and needs.
WEFT/WEAVE HAIR EXTENSIONS: PROS AND CONS
PROS:
Natural and Seamless Look:
Wefts create a natural effect as they are applied as a curtain of hair rather than single-strand pieces, preventing a "stringy" or separated appearance.
Ideal for thick Hair:
Suitable for thick hair providing effective blending.
Customisable Thickness:
Wefts can also be layered or folded over to achieve the desired thickness, making them suitable for those with thick hair or for creating a thicker, luscious effect.
Re-Usable:
Designed for reuse once grown out, offering great value compared to some other methods that may not be easily re-applied.
Colour Customisation:
Available in multiple shades, allowing for customised application and the creation of subtle highlights, lowlights, or unique colour ideas.
CONS:
Tightness or Sagging Issues:
Creating a tight braid that doesn't cause premature loosening or excessive tightness can be challenging, potentially leading to scalp strain, scabbing, or hair loss.
Easy Solution: Ensure the stylist understands your hair health and density for an appropriately tensioned braid or use beads instead.
Bulky Look and Feel:
Poorly made wefts may be thicker at the wefted end, resulting in a bulky appearance.
Easy Solution: Ensure the wefts are well made. At Pure our machine wefts have a smaller tidier seam than most.
Styling Limitations:
Styling options may be limited due to the presence of cornrows that need to be hidden. Up-styling can also be bulkier with one long row.
Easy Solution: Adapt styling techniques to accommodate the nature of the weft. Explore other methods if you prefer more separated styles.
Oily Hair Concerns:
The thick row of hair may lead to faster oil buildup, requiring more thorough washing.
Easy Solution: Wash each row separately by lifting and applying shampoo underneath and on top of the row. This prevents bacterial buildup and ensures cleanliness.
Not Recommended for Short Hair:
If hair is too short, creating a cornrow may not be possible, impacting the anchor holding the weft in place.
Easy Solution: Use beads for shorter hair as they can be placed directly at the roots.
Not Recommended for Fine Hair:
Tension alopecia risk increases with very tight pulling, especially for those with fine hair.
Easy Solution: Opt for hand-tied wefts that are super fine and light or choose tape-ins, which place minimal tension when applied correctly.
Micro Bead Hair Extensions: A Popular and Time-Tested Method
Micro Bead Hair Extensions, also referred to as the i-tip method, stand as one of the original and enduringly popular hair extension methods.
This technique necessitates the expertise of a professional with skills and precision in applying micro-beads, ensuring a natural-looking result without causing damage to the natural hair. Due to the intricate nature of the process, it is crucial to have a trained and experienced stylist perform the application.
The application of Micro Bead Hair Extensions typically takes around 2.5 to 3 hours for a full head. This method demands a high level of precision and patience from the stylist, underscoring the importance of a meticulous approach.
In this method, a small metal non-slip bead is threaded onto a section of the client's hair. Subsequently, a strand of hair and the extension are clamped to the bead, effectively securing the extension in place. This application process ensures a seamless blend between the natural hair and the extensions, contributing to a natural and undetectable appearance
Micro Bead Hair Extensions: Pros and Cons
PROS:
Versatile Styling:
Micro Bead Extensions can be effectively up-styled or pulled into a ponytail, offering flexibility for those who engage in frequent exercise and prefer wearing their hair up.
Reusable:
These extensions can be re-used, providing a cost-effective and sustainable option for individuals looking to extend the lifespan of their hair extensions.
Swimming-Friendly:
Micro Bead Extensions allow individuals to swim with them in place, adding convenience and versatility to their lifestyle.
Natural Colour Camouflage:
Small colour-matched beads blend well into the hair, even as the hair grows out, maintaining a natural appearance.
CONS:
Potential for Damage with Wrong Beads:
If incorrect beads are used, Micro Bead Extensions can cause damage. Reputable companies often use copper cylinders lined with silicone to protect natural hair from breakage.
Easy Solution: Use only silicone-lined beads, and ensure a qualified professional applies the extensions to minimise the risk of damage.
Risk of Looking unnatural:
Micro Bead Extensions may look fake if insufficient extensions are applied. The small strands can separate more, affecting the overall appearance.
Easy Solution: Apply the correct amount needed
The Keratin bond method stands as one of the original and enduring methods of hair extension attachment. This technique utilizes small bundles of hair, typically 1 gram, each pre-secured with a U-shaped or square-shaped tip. Once applied with a bonding machine, these bundles behave in the hair like your own natural hair.
Keratin, a protein found abundantly in natural hair, is the key component in these extensions, making them safe for both the scalp and natural hair. The extensions themselves resemble small rounded beads with a glued appearance at the roots, where small pieces of extension hair are attached.
One of the notable advantages of Keratin bond extensions is their versatility. They can be curled, dyed, straightened, and styled with heat, much like one would do with their natural hair. To attach them, a specialized machine is used. This machine bonds the pre-secured keratin extension to your own hair at the root, either using a hot fusion machine or ultrasonic wave technology with a cold fusion machine. The choice depends on the salon and the type of device they use.
During the application process, the extensions are strategically placed in horizontal rows until they reach the top of your hair, where your natural hair effectively covers the bonds, creating the desired volume and length.
After the installation of Keratin bonds, it is advisable not to wash your hair for the first 48 hours. This allows the bonds to fully harden and ensures the longevity of the extensions. This time-tested attachment method continues to be a popular choice for those seeking a durable and versatile hair extension solution.
Keratin Bond Hair Extensions: Pros and Cons
PROS:
Longevity and Less Visibility:
This method can last longer than tape or wefts due to smaller bonds, which are less visible during further grow-out (larger bonds become more visible at around 6-8 weeks of growth).
Durable for Extended Periods:
Keratin hair extensions are durable and suitable for an extended period, potentially lasting up to 3-6 months at a time. However, the longer any type of bond stays in place, the higher the risk for potential damage.
Suitable for Very Thin Hair:
Ideal for individuals with very thin hair, the refined bonds can be discreet when applied correctly. This method is particularly beneficial for blonde hair.
Relatively Comfortable:
The extensions, bonded to small keratin, are generally comfortable when applied correctly. They offer a relatively comfortable experience.
Swimming-Friendly:
Quality keratin bonds should stay intact even during swimming, providing a secure and water-resistant solution.
CONS:
Initial Discomfort:
Initially, the extensions can feel tight as the bonds are pulled into a section of hair. This discomfort tends to resolve within a day or 2.
Easy Solution: Ensure they are applied close to the root but leave some space for natural movement. If sensitivity persists, consider tape-ins, which are applied in the natural direction of hair fall, resulting in minimal discomfort when correctly applied.
Expensive Removal:
Removal can be more expensive than other methods as it generally requires professional assistance and can be time-consuming.
Removal Solution: Ensure a high-quality hypoallergenic remover is used, as some solutions may be irritating or damaging. At Pure Tape Hair Extensions, a special hypoallergenic remover is offered for safe and effective removal.
Bonds Tangle:
Over time, bonds may naturally become tangled with the shedding of natural hair. Regular removal is recommended to prevent dreadlocked bonds.
Easy Solution: Remove extensions regularly, following the recommended timeframe, to avoid dreadlocked bonds. Experienced stylists can minimise the risk by of damage during removal.
Expensive:
Keratin bond extensions can be expensive, depending on the number of strands required for the desired look.
Easy Solution: Consider micro-bead extensions for a similar look, which can be quicker and potentially re-used.
Non-Reusability:
Depending on your stylist they are generally not re-usable, requiring the purchase of new hair for subsequent applications. If you have an experienced stylist they can remove the bond in-tact and re-use the extension by applying new keratin
Easy Solution: Explore micro-beaded extensions for a similar appearance with potential reusability.
Styling Challenges as They Grow Out:
As the bonds grow out, styling can become challenging, as the bond cannot be touched with hot tools.
Stringy Appearance:
Strand-by-strand attachments may lead to a stringy or separated appearance, especially as the hair naturally settles.
Easy Solution: Brush hair often throughout the day to integrate the extensions. Alternatively, consider tape-in or wefted methods for a more natural fall.
It's important to note that the choice between these pros and cons depends on individual preferences, hair type, and styling habits. Consulting with a professional stylist can help determine the best extension method for specific needs and concerns.
Flip-In Hair Extensions: A Quick Overview
Known by various names such as Flip-Ins, Halos, Wire, or One-Piece Extensions, Flip-In Hair Extensions are a relatively new and simple type of hair extension. The defining feature is a single piece of flexible translucent wire, somewhat similar to a fishing line, that is used to attach the extension to the head.
Installation:
These extensions are notably easy to install, taking under a minute to fit in. The wire is adjusted to the head size, providing a quick and hassle-free application process.
Pros:
Ease of Application:
Flip-In Hair Extensions are among the easiest to install, making them accessible for users who prefer a straightforward application method.
Quick Adjustments:
The adjustable wire allows for quick and easy adjustments to fit the extension securely to the head size.
No Bonding or Clipping:
Unlike some other types of extensions, Flip-Ins do not involve bonding, clipping, or the use of adhesives.
Minimal Damage:
With no need for bonding or clips, these extensions typically result in minimal damage to the natural hair.
Cons:
Limited Security:
The single-wire attachment may not provide the same level of security as other methods, and some users may find it less stable, especially in active situations.
Visibility:
The wire may be visible, depending on the placement and styling of the hair, potentially making it less discreet than other attachment methods.
Not Well-Known:
Despite its simplicity, the Flip-In method may not be as well-known among hair extension users compared to more traditional methods.
Limited Styling Options:
Styling options may be limited compared to methods where the extensions are more securely attached, as the single wire can constrain certain hairstyles.
Potential for Slippage:
Some users may experience slippage or a less secure feel compared to more firmly attached extensions.
It's important to consider personal preferences, lifestyle, and styling habits when choosing a hair extension method. While Flip-In Hair Extensions offer simplicity and ease of application, individuals with specific requirements or preferences may find other methods more suitable. Consulting with a professional stylist can also provide valuable insights into the best option for individual needs.
Ponytails are becoming more and more popular in the quest for an easy yet stunning result.
PRO'S
Looks Amazing In Less Than Clean Hair:
Didn't have time to wash your hair? You can slick your hair back with a little styling gel or Moroccan oil to create a sleek polished look in a few minutes that completely hides your own oily or "dirty" hair.
Create Multiple Up-Styles:
You can create a multitude of styles by braiding sections of your hair into your pony or making buns out of your ponytail piece. A little creativity can go a long way.

Can Look Fake:
If your own hair is too thick, or if you have layers the ponytail might look unnatural and not blend into the extension.
Easy Solution:
At Pure we specialise in custom creations so we can evaluate your hair and ensure a ponytail is created to suit your hair properly.

We inspect the hair based on the following:
Inspection Characteristics:
Hair softness and strength - our human hair is only acceptable from young healthy doners.
Roots aligned at the top and cuticles running in the same direction facing downwards to the tip.
Presence of grey hairs or colour treated hair - while the odd grey can even be present in younger womens hair, more grey means it is from an older donor and is rejected.
Smooth with even colour and full smooth ends.
Only 100% hygienically cleaned hair can be accepted.
Once these parameters have been determined, we make a selection and any hair that does not pass our strict requirements are on-sold to bulk hair extensions factories.

Below we have both simplified and clarified the most vital and important aspects necessary to ensure you, the consumer will be able to determine whether or not a supplier is most likely providing a genuine, authentic hair extensions product.
Remy Hair:
The phrase "Remy Hair Extensions " has become more of a marketing tool than actually about the hair structure.
Often you will even see the term confused by even seemingly top professional companies who might even write phrases such as "our hair is not remy it is real Russian".
The reason this is so wrong is that these companies do not even understand the differentiation of the hairs structure in comparison to the actual origin which are two completely different things, and of which we see very often used interchangeably.
To clear up the misunderstanding one must understand the term "Remy" refers to the direction of the cuticle - nothing else and is of critical importance.
With every supplier claiming that their hair is Remy, how do you actually know?
It can be very difficult to determine the claims and authenticity of the human hair one purchases but normally if a colour range is extensive you can be sure it is real remy hair because non-remy hair simply cannot be coloured correctly as the poor quality of the original raw material simply does not allow the hair to be lightened extensively or to more ashy shades.
Just about every distributor and manufacturer out there claim they have Remy hair extensions, but very few actually do.
Virgin Hair & Processed Hair & Why The Two Are Worlds Apart.
The understanding and importance of the use of virgin hair is often misunderstood and grossly underestimated because hair extensions will look and feel beautiful in accordance to combing/brushing ease, strength and elasticity.
Human hair is an elastic substance that can withstand stretching when healthy, however, if it is unhealthy it can easily break or become deformed (eg thin out) and get very brittle.
The procedure our factory using evaluating the strength and elasticity properties of human hair is via tensile strain, most factories do not bother with this being the hair is created in bulk.
Essentially, when we apply the force of combing, brushing and styling of our hair, it should bounce back if the hair is healthy.
In scientific values, for example, if we stretch the hair 5%-10%, the hair will undertake a complete recovery and will bounce back to the original length without damage. Unless the hair is abused it should not be stretched beyond 5-10%.
We test all our virgin hair via a micro-scope to ensure the strands tested bounce back to their original healthy state.
With processed hair extensions, the percentage values are significantly diminished as the cortex has suffered massive chemical damage and cannot withstand applications of force and will not snap back when it has been stretched.
What can you do to prevent your hair extensions from further loss of tensile properties?
]]>Understand the limitations of the hair type or hair extensions can help you maintain your new hair accordingly.
Avoid excessive combing and styling, especially with a comb when the hair is wet. It is always best to brush with a natural bore bristle brush that a comb.
If the hair is tangled for example after being in the wind, gently work your tangles out by brushing from the bottom up.
Do not aggressively rub wet hair with a towel, but instead gently pat and squeeze to remove the moisture.
After exposure to the sun, surf swimming etc, you can spritz your hair with water and a leave-in treatment and allow the hair time to recover from the drying effects of exposure.
Deep treatment conditioner on the mid-lengths and ends at least twice a week and only washing at the roots (the shampoo running through your hair is enough to clean the mid to end lengths). This will help retain the hair's moisture content.
Our Dying Procedures:
How do we measure if hair will lighten successfully from dark brown to platinum blond without serious damage to cuticle layers?
Our factory uses advanced testing to measure the denier of the hair strands to make sure it falls into the applicable measurements of 48-55 microns at the point of about 10" from roots. If the hair is too fine or too coarse, it cannot be effectively lightened into smooth healthy shades.
When unhealthy hair bleached back it will result in brassy, uneven colour.
Our hair extensions slowly dyed with a unique cool water process ensuring the roots, middle and ends are absorbed evenly.
We use special advanced pre-metalized dyes imported from Switzerland. This type of special dye results in vibrant yet natural colours, without the need of damaging chemicals which greatly retains the health of the hair.
The colour acts like acid dyes for vibrancy but bond with the hair like metallic dyes so they last a long time and don't fade and become flat like cheaper dyes used by most factories.
Whilst the process of dying takes place we carefully monitor the pH to ensure the proper balance has been achieved and maintained throughout which keeps the natural vitality and integrity is retained during the entire process and finally a special hair treatment conditioner bath is used to further protect and lubricate the hair after the dying application is complete.
The processes we undertake to achieve our desired colours and styles coupled with longevity and beauty of our hair extensions result in a luxury hair extensions product you can count on and trust in your salon or for your own personal use.
Our number one goal is to create the best premium seamless hair extensions you and your clients will love at the most affordable and competitive prices.
