What to Expect Each Month While Wearing Keratin Bond Extensions 

If you're planning on getting keratin bonded hair extensions, it's important to know what to expect during the grow-out period, which typically lasts around four months. Here's a breakdown of what you can expect during each phase:

Month 1:

The first month is all about adjusting to your new extensions. You'll likely feel some discomfort and tightness on your scalp, especially during the first week. It's normal to experience some shedding during this time, but don't worry, your extensions are still securely bonded. Be gentle when brushing your hair and avoid using hot tools close to the bonds.

Month 2:

By month two, your extensions will have started to settle in and feel more natural. However, you may start to notice some tangling and matting at the root, so it's important to brush your hair regularly from root to tip. Your extensions may also start to feel a bit heavier as your natural hair grows out, but this is normal.

Month 3:

By month three, you'll start to notice a more significant gap between your natural hair and the extensions. You may need to use some styling tricks to hide the gaps, such as braids or updos. During this time, it's crucial to be gentle when brushing your hair and avoid pulling or tugging on the extensions.

Month 4/5:

By the fourth/fifth month, it's time to come in for a removal. The bonds will have moved roughly 2 inches away from the root, and it's essential to have them removed to avoid damage to your natural hair. Neglecting maintenance can lead to matting and even breakage, so be sure to schedule your appointment promptly.


In conclusion, wearing keratin-bonded hair extensions can be a beautiful way to add length and volume to your hair. Caring for them throughout the grow-out phase is the crystal to a healthy scalp. By following these tips, you can enjoy gorgeous, healthy hair for months to come.
