Hair extensions typically last between 3 to 6 months, depending on the type and care. Clip-ins can last up to a year with proper maintenance, while tape-ins and sew-ins generally last around 4 to 8 weeks before needing reapplication. Fusion and microlink extensions can last 3 to 6 months. With regular upkeep, extensions can be reused and their lifespan extended.

The four main types of hair extensions are clip-in, tape-in, sew-in (weave), and fusion (pre-bonded). Clip-ins are temporary and easy to apply, tape-ins are semi-permanent and lightweight, sew-ins are woven into natural hair, and fusion extensions are bonded to strands using keratin glue.
