Skin Weft

Can you colour Showpony Skin Weft Hair Extensions?

We do not recommend the colouring of Showpony Hair Extensions, or the use of toning shampoo and or conditioners. If you choose to do so we recommend this only be performed by an approved Showpony Hair Extension Stockist. For a list of Showpony Approved Salons, please visit our salon finder. Colouring the Extensions may also void the warranty. Please refer to https://www.showponyaus.com.au/pages/returns-exchange for returns policy.

Can I colour my natural hair on the same day as having Showpony Skin Weft Hair Extensions applied?

We do not recommend colouring your hair on the same day that you are having hair extensions applied. You will need to allow at least 72hrs between colour and hair extensions application. Colouring your natural hair on the same day as hair extension application can result in the hair extensions slipping out of your hair.

Can you perm Showpony Skin Weft Tape Hair Extensions?

We do not recommend perming Showpony Hair Extensions, as they have already undergone a lengthy chemical process. Perming Showpony Hair Extensions will void any warranties and may compromise the quality of your Showpony Hair Extensions.

What products shouldn’t be used on extensions?

Whilst wearing Showpony Hair Extensions, we recommend avoiding products containing citrus extracts, oils including Moroccan or Argan oils, silicones or their derivatives, protein or keratin-based products and products containing a high alcohol content. This includes any medicated or toning shampoos and tanning products. Using these products may cause tape slippage or discolouration to your Hair Extensions.  Some chemical based sunscreens may also cause discolouration of your Hair Extensions and may void your Showpony warranty.

Can you use Keratin or protein on the extensions?

We do not recommend the use of Keratin products on Showpony Hair Extensions, as they can cause brittleness in the hair itself.

How often do you need to have Showpony Skin Weft Tape Hair Extensions refitted?

Showpony Hair Extensions are designed to be removed and reinstalled every 4-6 weeks. Although the bond may last longer, this is what we have found to be the safest refitting interval to maintain the health of the natural hair your extension is attached to. Showpony Professional only endorses safe extension wear and will not encourage practices that compromise the quality of your natural hair.

What Does Remy A+ Mean?

Remy A+ means all the cuticles are intact and aligned downward in the same direction as your natural hair. This means that you are always brushing in the direction of the cuticle therefore the hair is less likely to get tangled or matted.

What does single-drawn mean?

Single-drawn is where a combing process has been used to remove shorter hairs from the Hair Extension drop, whilst maintaining a natural taper on the ends, as would occur in a natural head of hair. This taper allows for a more natural weight line, shortening the time required to blend to the natural hair and softer colour blends when mixing multiple colours together in the one head.

How do I retape my Showpony Skin Weft Tape Hair Extensions?

All removal and refitting processes for Showpony Hair Extensions should be performed by a salon professional to ensure safe removal and reapplication. Attempting to remove or refit Hair Extensions without professional supervision may result in damage to the natural hair, or damage to your Extensions, voiding your warranty.

How do you remove the Showpony Slimline Tape Extensions?

All removal processes for Showpony Hair Extensions should be performed by a salon professional to ensure safe removal. Attempting to remove Extensions without professional supervision may result in damage to the natural hair, or damage to your Extensions, voiding your warranty.

What is the difference between Showpony Skin Weft and Showpony Slimline Tape Extensions?

Showpony Slimline Tape Extensions have the appearance of a tab at the top, whereas Showpony Skin weft Tape Hair Extensions have been designed to mimic the look of hair growing directly from the scalp.

Are Showpony Skin Weft Tape Hair Extensions applied the same way as Slimline Tape Hair Extensions?

Yes, the attachment is the same, just the finish is less visible in the hair.

Are Showpony Skin weft Hair Extensions as strong as Slimline Tape Hair Extensions?

Yes, they are. We have not compromised the strength or durability of our Hair Extensions for the finished look.

Do Showpony Skin Weft Tape Hair Extensions come in different lengths?

This product is currently available in our most popular length, 20”.

Does it shed hair from the tape?

No, the hair is machine sewn into the silicone tape and does not shed. You can also cut them in half where required.

Will Showpony Skin Weft Tape damage my natural hair?

Damage only ever occurs if the extensions have been incorrectly applied, at home maintenance guidelines have not been followed or if they are left to grow out past the recommended 4-6 weeks. This is why it is so important to find a salon that is correctly trained and diligent in educating you in how to best care for your extensions and your natural hair whilst wearing them.
