Extension FAQ’s
How are Beverly May hair extensions different?
Unlike many other hair extension companies, Beverly May leaves the hair cuticles intact which gives our hair an incredible silky and manageable quality and feel. What’s more, Beverly May hair extensions don’t use any damaging glues, waxes, heat or chemicals.
Is the hair 100% Human Remy Hair?
Yes! We guarantee our hair extensions are 100% Human Remy Hair. This means that not only do we leave the cuticles intact but that all the cuticles run downwards on the hair shaft. This is considered to be the finest quality hair.
What lengths is the hair available in?
All our hair extensions are available in 18″ (approx. 45cm) lengths. However, custom lengths can be ordered. Please call (08) 8232 3448 or email info@beverlymay.com.au for more information.
How long will my extensions last?
On average, and if the Beverly May care instructions are followed, extensions should last up to 12 months. To protect your natural hair and prolong the life of the extensions regular maintenance, or ‘lifting’, is required.
Can I still colour my hair whilst wearing hair extensions?
Yes, in-fact, when wearing Skins the extensions can be completely removed with ease and full head colours can be achieved. With our Tips, your hairdresser will easily be able foil around them or apply full head colours provided that peroxide is kept away from the bonds at the top of the extensions.
Can hair extensions be coloured?
Unless you are a professional colourist who has worked with colouring extensions before, we don’t recommend colouring your extensions. It is always best to have a trained technician consult you to match your extensions to your natural hair.
*Beverly May accepts no responsibility for any damage caused by colouring hair extensions.
I have ultra fine, fragile or chemically treated hair. Can I still have extensions?
In most cases, the Beverly May range has a product to suit all hair types. You will need a consultation with an accredited Beverly May Salon to determine which system is right for you. Because all our extensions are free of glues and chemicals they are gentle on your natural hair.
Can I wear my hair up?
You can still put your hair up, but it is advisable not to do so too tightly or often as you don’t want to put excessive tension on the roots of you natural hair. Depending on your own hair and the amount or type of extensions in your hair, there may be a few styles that are harder to achieve.
Can I go swimming with my hair extensions?
Swimming in chlorinated or salt water is never a good idea for extension wearers. If water cannot be avoided it is vital that you tightly plait your hair prior to swimming and immediately rinse hair after. A moisture intensive hair care plan or frequent salon treatment would also be advisable.

Your hairdresser will also advise you of the ongoing costs in regards to having the extensions maintained and the best products for you to use to ensure you get the most out of you new hair extensions.
