Frequently Asked Questions
1`What are Brazilian Knots?
Its a strand by strand hair extensions technique where an elastic thread is used to attach hair extensions to your own hair. This elastic thread doesn’t create tension on the hair, allowing your extensions to move freely without causing damage.
This thread is also heat resistant .
Brazilian Knots is suitable for all textures of hair and last up to 4 months with proper care.
Removal is quick if someone trained for it performs the removal, it takes around 20-40 mins.
Are there special care instructions for brazilian knots?
To make your BK's last, treat them as gently as you would your own hair. Don't be scared of using hair treatments and oils, put your hair away at night to avoid it getting tangled, brush it gently when detangling, don't over use heat tools etc.
Can I re-use my hair?
Of course! And I recommend you to purchase good quality hair for this reason. I can re-use it many times if the hair still looks good.
How much hair do I need to achieve a full look?
The average is 2 bundles of 16-18 inches if you have an end of neck length. Now, if you have shorter hair, high density of hair on your scalp or want longer length and a lot of volume then more bundles will be required.
What type of hair should I buy?
I normally use wefted hair and I cut the weft to install the hair. I can be hair loose in bulks as well if you can find it easily, its not required though.
Where can I buy my hair from?
It’s very important to buy 100%, human hair extensions that will match with your own hair in order to achieve precise blending with BK’s. Take a look at my recommended hair companies, featured on my Instagram bio or contact me for further assistance.
Does it hurt?
If you have a tender head, you may experience some discomfort for a couple of days, until the knots slightly loosen. Many clients have no discomfort at all, so it really depends on your sensitivity.
How long it takes to install and how long it lasts?
It can take between 3-5 hours depending of the amount of hair to be installed. They last around 3 months; some stay less, some stay longer(I don't recommend keep them on too long).
I have thin hair, could this work for me?
BKs are for all textures and formations, so it doesn't matter if you have thin, coarse, natural, relaxed, curly, wavy or straight hair. Just buy hair extensions that match your own hair.
