Best Hair Extensions - Frequently Asked Questions
What are the best hair extensions to get in the UK?
The best hair extensions UK are hand-blended keratin bond or micro ring extensions using 100% Eastern European human hair. These methods offer the most natural, invisible results with superior longevity. At FAKE, we specialise exclusively in these premium methods - never using clip-ins, tape extensions, or pre-packaged hair that can look obvious and damage your natural hair.
What type of hair extensions are best for fine hair?
Keratin bond hair extensions are the best choice for fine or thinning hair. They're ultra-lightweight, putting minimal stress on delicate hair, and the bonds are completely invisible. We custom-blend the hair to match your exact density, ensuring the extensions integrate seamlessly without overwhelming your natural hair. Micro rings can also work for fine hair if properly sized and applied by a specialist.
How much do the best quality hair extensions cost?
The best quality hair extensions typically range from £400-£700+ depending on length and density. This investment reflects premium Eastern European human hair, expert specialist application, and comprehensive aftercare. While cheaper options exist, they often use lower-grade hair and inexperienced fitting that can damage your natural hair. Quality extensions last up to 12 months with proper refits, making them excellent value.
What's the best human hair for extensions?
Eastern European human hair is widely regarded as the best for extensions due to its finer texture, superior quality, and longevity. It blends seamlessly with British and European hair types and can be colour-matched precisely. We never use Remy hair or Asian hair that's been chemically processed - only premium Eastern European hair that's ethically sourced and hand-selected for quality.
Where can I get the best hair extensions fitted?
The best hair extensions are fitted by specialists who focus exclusively on extensions - not general hairdressers. Look for salons with extensive experience, a portfolio of transformations, and expertise in hand-blending techniques. FAKE serves the entire North of England from our Bedale, North Yorkshire location, with clients travelling from across North Yorkshire, County Durham, and Tyne and Wear for our specialist expertise.
How long do the best hair extensions last?
The best hair extensions last 8-12 weeks per fitting, with the actual hair lasting up to 12 months or longer with proper care and refits. Keratin bonds typically need refitting every 10-12 weeks, while micro rings need adjustment every 8-12 weeks as your natural hair grows. The premium quality hair we use maintains its condition throughout multiple refits, making it a long-term investment in your appearance.
