How long can you keep Tracks or Extensions in your hair?

Answer 1

It depends on the quality of the hair, the type of extensions you get, how well you keep it up and who puts them in. #1 ALWAYS go to a reputable hair stylist who is experienced in hair extension. Don't be cheap and let your girl 'round the way do them! #2 If you can afford it, opt for sew in styles. Your hair is braided in plaits and the extensions are sewed in by "tracks". It lasts longer, looks better, and is much better for your hair than glue. #3 Again, if you can afford it ALWAYS (I repeat) Always get human hair. It is much easier to maintain and is styled exactly as you would your own hair (heat, wash, etc) synthetic hair will burn when heat is applied to it. Also synthetic hair will tangle and actually cut through your own hair making it easy to break and fall out. #4 always wrap your hair up at night with some type of satin wrap, bonnet, etc. This is true even for your own hair minus the extensions. Cotton is the enemy of African American (even Caucasian!) hair at night. It cause the hair to break and fall out. Buy a satin pillow case to sleep on at night as well!

But to simply answer your initial question...if all these protocols are followed you can make your tracks/extensions last up to 2 1/2 months while still maintaining a healthy head of "natural" hair underneath! Happy hair days!

Answer 2

I met a lady yesterday who belived that dirt helped your hair grow. And she just kept putting tracks in dirty hair. I think it's your personal perference about how long you keep your tracts in, when your hair begins to itch or your tracts start lookin raggidy its tiem to go. If you already have nice hair i don't see the point of adding them extensions. Basically tou are trying to look like a white woman with long straight hair while they are hating on us but trying to look like us from getting them tans. You are also patronizing the Asians by buying these produx from them do lets try to keep it natural.

Answer 3

Well don't mess them up when they are in your head. But I really don't think tracks are the solution. Because that glue in your hair is not good for your scalp.


I think you should let your natural hair grow first. Becasue over 10,000 people are becoming bald
Just because they put tracks, weave in their heads.
So good Luck And think about putting that in your head.
This goes for all women, Girls. You don't need tracks to
make you feel beautiful.

Mine are braided in, circulate to a hair salon and ask for a stitch in i've got been given mine in January and that i nonetheless have them in you in user-friendly terms ought to safeguard it and circulate back and function them retouch up and it will stay in good success

Answer 5

don't keep it in for too long because your hair needs to breathe, especially if you plan on growing out your hair
if your just putting a full weave, i suggest no more than two weeks or else it will start to look sloppy looking and it will look stupid

Answer 6

you can leave them in for up to 3 months, but u can start seeing the re-growth pretty bad after 6 weeks, thats when i took mine out they started to look untidy
