Frequently Asked Questions

How often do I need to have my Showpony Weft Hair Extensions reinstalled?

Showpony Hair Extensions are designed to be removed and reinstalled every 4-6 weeks. Although the track may last longer, this is what we have found to be the safest refitting interval to maintain the health of the natural hair your extension is attached to. Showpony Professional only endorses safe extension wear and will not encourage practices that compromise the quality of your natural hair.

 

What attachment products can I use for Weft Hair Extensions?

The Showpony Hair Extensions Weft Range is designed without pre-beading or threading, allowing for full customisation to suit each client’s needs. For installation, use the flat track technique with our 5mm Micro Beads and secure the weft by stitching it onto a beaded track using our specially designed marine-grade needle and thread.

Will Weft application suit my hair?

Wefts are great for medium to thick hair as they are a quick and effective way to add density to the natural hair.

 

What does a Weft look like?

The Showpony Weft Hair Extensions are a 1m (approx.) overlocked seam, which is approximately 2mm wide and 20” or 26’’ in hair length. When being used in salon, it is cut into custom lengths designed to specifically fit the client. Because it is machine stitched, it will not fray and does not require weft adhesive to seal the ends.

How is a Weft attached?

Several different methods can be used to attach the weft, and is chosen according to your preference, lifestyle and suitability to your hair type. Showpony does not “pre-bead” the weft so that you have the freedom to tailor the application method best suited to you. The main methods we employ are a beaded application sewn on to a flat track.

Can I put my hair up with a Weft?

While there is less movement with a weft in comparison to other techniques, yes you will be able to put it up into a loose pony or bun.
