Typically every 6 to 8 weeks depending on hair growth, activity level, and link condition. During your visit we reposition and tighten links, assess hair health, and recommend a personalized maintenance timetable to maintain comfort and seamless appearance.

When performed by trained stylists using correct technique, maintenance minimizes stress on follicles. We tighten and reposition links gently, monitor scalp health, and advise proper aftercare to prevent breakage. Neglect or improper at-home handling, not maintenance, is the usual cause of damage.

Sessions usually range from 45 minutes to 2 hours depending on the number of links, degree of adjustment, and hair density. Your stylist will assess needs and provide an accurate time estimate when evaluating link condition at the start of the appointment.

Yes — in most cases we can replace or reapply links during your maintenance appointment, time permitting. We use matching extensions and secure techniques to maintain uniformity, though extensive replacements might require a follow-up appointment for best results.

Avoid heavy oils near links, sleep on a silk pillowcase, brush gently with a loop brush, and avoid tight styles that pull on links. Use sulfate-free products and follow your stylist’s recommended washing and styling schedule to prolong link integrity.

Basic styling is usually provided to refresh your look, but full color or major services may require a separate appointment. We’ll evaluate link placement and advise whether color can be safely done without compromising link integrity during your maintenance visit.
