Normally you need 1-4 packages for a thickening, 5-7 packages for a complete hair extension and 8-10 packages for a super hair extension if you want really thick or long hair. We recommend that you mix colours to achieve a natural look.

Durability

Rapunzel Original lasts up to 5 weeks with the correct hair care if used daily. The durability of temporary hair extensions which are not used daily is longer. 

Rapunzel Original is the recommended quality for temporary hair extensions or short-term permanent hair extensions. The hair is originally often black or dark brown. The hair cuticles have been removed and the hairs are facing in different directions, so that the hair needs extra much moisture. 

Daily care of your extensions:

• Use only Rapunzel of Sweden's care and styling products and follow our recommendations as found in the care instructions.
• De-tangle your hair often – at least once in the morning and once in the evening. Check any attachments so that no knots have formed along your scalp.
• You should braid hair before sleeping. Never sleep with wet hair. Sleep on Rapunzel’s Bamboo Pillow Case to reduce hair damage.
• Always braid your hair before working out or playing sports. Take out your Clip-on set, Ponytail and similar items before working out or playing sports.
• Always de-tangle your hair before you shower and never brush your hair when it is wet.
• Towel dry your hair with Rapunzel’s Turban Hair Towel.
• You can straighten, curl and style our real hair extensions any way you like! Please make sure to use a heat protection spray before and to not use more than 180 degrees Celsius (this does not apply to curly hair, please check our advice for curly hair below).

Please keep in mind:

• Regarding hair pieces such as Clip-on sets, Clip-in Ponytails or Clip-in Fringes: for the best result, wash the hair according to the Hairguide's instructions before using them for the first time.
• Hair extensions are not recommended for people using certain medications and for those suffering from certain illnesses. Consult with your medical practitioner if you are unsure. Please check possible allergies before using the product.
• We do not recommend that you dye or bleach extensions. This includes colour bombs, tinting, toning, colour-depositing masks, henna, silver shampoo, bleaching, dyeing and the like.
• Protect your hair of strong sunlight and avoid bathing in seawater or chlorinated water.
• Avoid contact with sunscreen or similar products as they may discolour the hair extensions.
• Follow our instructions when you remove your extensions and use the recommended products so that your own hair will not be damaged.

Curly hair:

• Detangle your hair with a wide tooth comb before you wash your hair. Never brush curly hair when it is dry. Detangle the hair with your fingers after washing it.
• We do not recommend to style curly hair with curling irons, straighteners or other styling tools using heat.
