A little knowledge. Beautiful possibilities.

A gentle routine starts with knowing your piece. Check the care instructions for your product and follow your installer’s advice for fitted extensions.

Detangle gently

Support the hair near the attachment and work from the ends upward in small sections. Use a brush suited to your extension method and avoid pulling on bonds, tapes or wefts.

Wash for your method

Use the products recommended for your extensions. Keep conditioner and oils away from attachment points unless your stylist advises otherwise. Rinse gently without rubbing or twisting the lengths.

Dry and store with care

Follow your stylist’s drying instructions for installed extensions, especially around attachment points. Let removable pieces dry fully before storing them. Keep them detangled, protected and away from excess heat.

Plan maintenance

Ask your stylist when your fitted extensions should be checked, moved up or removed. Stop using a piece if it causes pulling or discomfort and ask for help before making adjustments.

Natural hair often contains several tones. Look for a shade that blends with the lengths you want the extension or hairpiece to sit beside.

Use natural light

Compare your hair near a window in indirect daylight. Avoid colored lighting, strong direct sun and photo filters.

Compare the lengths and ends

Look at both the overall depth and the warm or cool tones. If your roots and ends differ, explore rooted and blended shades in the 56-shade gallery.

Get a second opinion

Take a clear photo from the back and one from the side, with your hair down. Email the photos to contact@suescollection.com and include the product, shade names and look you are considering.

Images are a guide: lighting and screens can change how color appears. Check your selection before opening the packaging or installing the hair.

Start with a secure ponytail or base bun and fit your hairpiece according to its instructions. Choose a comfortable position and keep the attachment covered by your natural hair.

1. The low polished bun

Place your base near the nape, smooth the top gently and add the piece for a neat everyday finish.

2. The soft textured bun

Keep the base secure, then loosen a few surface strands around your crown for a softer shape. Avoid pulling on the hairpiece attachment.

3. The high bun

Build your base higher on the head and check that the piece feels balanced and comfortable. Smooth or soften the front to suit your style.

4. The side-part bun

Create a side part before securing a low base. Tuck or pin loose natural hair around the sides for a clean outline.

5. The occasion bun

Start with your favorite low or high bun, then add an accessory beside the base. Keep pins and accessories away from attachment points.

Use heat only if the product instructions permit it. Remove the piece gently after wear and store it as directed.

A simple change in placement or finish can give a familiar hairpiece a different feel.

Soft and low

A bun at the nape works with a center or side part. Keep the outline neat or leave a few natural strands loose around your face.

Lift at the crown

A higher base adds height to the silhouette. Choose a position that feels secure without pulling.

Texture with a polished edge

Pair a softly textured bun with a smoother front. Shape your own hair around the piece and finish with an accessory if you like.

The best style is one that suits your hair, feels comfortable and keeps the attachment discreet.

Material affects styling, maintenance and how a piece feels. Always check the individual product description: different pieces can have different materials and care requirements.

Synthetic hair

Synthetic pieces are often chosen for a ready-styled look. Do not use heat or color treatments unless the specific product instructions say they are suitable.

Human hair

Human-hair extensions offer natural movement and styling flexibility. Follow the product’s heat and care guidance. Speak to a qualified stylist before coloring or chemically treating extensions.

Choose for your routine

Think about how often you want to wear the piece, whether you want to change its style, and how much maintenance suits you. For installed extensions, discuss the method and upkeep with your stylist.
