Hair Extensions Overview
Our Bello Haven hair extensions can last 6 months to a year as long as you’re taking care of your hair at home with professional product, brushing daily and most importantly coming in for your maintenances when it’s scheduled!
With the proper care and products they are very easy to maintain! You don’t want to be too aggressive when brushing your hair, but also not be afraid to brush on top of those wefts. Our Bello Haven serum and brush will be your best friend! It makes it easy to brush through the hair wet + dry without any snagging or pulling.
We highly recommend drying the hair for sleep to keep the cuticle smooth.

Yes, some sunscreens can alter the color of your extensions. They may contain an ingredient called “avobenzone”, an oil soluble ingredient used in most sunscreens to absorb the full spectrum of UVA rays. Essentially the color change is a result of a chemical reaction when the sunscreen is absorbed into the hair and exposed to UV light.
