Frequently Asked Questions
Get answers to common questions about Hair extension bead move up maintenance.
We recommend scheduling move-ups every 6–8 weeks to maintain bead position and tension. Individual growth, hair type, and activity level influence timing; your stylist will assess and set the ideal interval to prevent slippage, matting, and potential damage.
If you exceed eight weeks, beads can slip and hair may mat. In many cases a full reinstall and re-tie will be necessary; that service is $600. We'll evaluate your hair and advise whether a move-up or full reinstall is required.
When performed professionally, move-ups do not damage natural hair. Certified stylists use gentle technique and correct bead placement to minimize stress. Follow aftercare instructions and avoid neglect, as poor maintenance or long gaps increase risk of breakage.
Typical appointments take 1.5 to 3 hours depending on the number of extensions, bead adjustments, and complexity. Smaller refreshes may be quicker; longer sessions occur with heavy installs or additional styling requested during the appointment.
You can usually wash hair gently 24 hours after a move-up. Use sulfate-free shampoo, avoid heavy conditioners at the roots for 48 hours, and follow your stylist's aftercare to protect beads and maintain attachment integrity.
Use sulfate-free, low-residue shampoos, silicone-free conditioners, a loop brush or wide-tooth comb, and heat protectant. Avoid oils at the root and sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and preserve bead placement.
