Hair Extensions
Hair Extensions at Strands Hairdressing | Whiteley and Hillhead, Fareham
If your hair is thinning, or you feel like it’s taking forever to grow out, Zen Hair Extensions are a hassle-free way to add volume and texture to your locks in just a matter of hours.
We offer two types of extensions:
Zen Hair Tapes: These lie flat against the hair and fit in seamlessly with your natural locks. They last up to 8 weeks, with maintenance required every 6-12 weeks.
Nano-Ring Extensions: Made from strands of real human hair, the Nano-Ring is held together with a strong keratin bond tipped with a small silicone loop. If properly cared for, they can be reused and last up to 6 months. The nano-ring can be re-positioned as the hair grows.
With extensions, you open up a whole new world of possibilities. If you've always wanted to try balayage, ombre or a brave new colour without colouring your natural hair, why not try it with extensions?
Plus, longer, thicker hair offers some great styling options from cascading curls to a cool high ponytail!

Choosing The Right Extensions
Selecting the right type of hair extension is important for achieving both a natural look and easy, comfortable wear.
Zen Hair Tapes are ideal for those seeking discreet, seamless length and volume. Their lightweight design means they sit flat and blend in with your own hair, making them perfect for fine or medium hair textures.
Nano-Ring Extensions, on the other hand, are excellent for clients who want very long-lasting results and enjoy the look and feel of real human hair. They offer versatility in both length and thickness and can be tailored to achieve your exact style goals.
During your consultation, our extension specialists will take time to assess your hair, discuss your lifestyle, and help choose the perfect method so you feel confident and comfortable with your gorgeous new hair every day.
Hair Extensions - Get Creative With Your Hair
Hair extensions do so much more than add length - they’re a brilliant way to experiment with colour or try trending styles without any risk to your natural hair.
Highlights, balayage, or a dramatic ombre effect? With Zen Hair Extensions, you can achieve fashion-forward colours and bold new looks while keeping your own hair healthy and untouched.
Extensions give you instant access to more styling options, from voluminous blow-dries and big, glossy waves to intricate braids and show-stopping updos.
They’re also fantastic for brides, special occasions, or anyone who wants flexibility to change up their look for an event or holiday. Our stylists will help you discover how to use extensions to enhance your favourite styles so you leave the salon with hair that feels both versatile and uniquely yours.
Extensions Maintenance & Aftercare
To keep your hair extensions looking natural and feeling comfortable, good aftercare and routine maintenance are key.
Zen Hair Tapes require gentle brushing, regular maintenance appointments, and specially recommended, sulphate-free products to keep them securely in place.
Nano-Ring Extensions, thanks to their durable fitting, need careful handling and occasional repositioning to protect both your extensions and your natural hair.
Our team will show you the best techniques for brushing, washing, and styling, as well as how to avoid common extension pitfalls like tangling or product build-up. Attending your scheduled maintenance visits ensures your extensions always look their best and last as long as possible.
With the right care, you’ll enjoy seamless, beautiful hair that suits your active lifestyle and stands out for all the right reasons.
