Book a consultationAt Jo Hansford, hair extensions are designed to complement your own hair, enhance natural movement and create a seamless, believable finish.
Placement, colour matching and careful application are central to every result, helping to protect the condition of the hair while creating volume, length or targeted fullness.
Extension methods
Choosing the right approach
The most suitable method depends on your hair, desired result, lifestyle and preferred level of maintenance.
Versatile and long-lasting
Bonds are a traditional method that can last for up to four months. They can create fullness, support the transition from a shorter haircut or add discreet volume in areas where density has reduced.
Lightweight and reusable
Tapes are popular for their fast application and removal. They can be reused, feel lightweight and are ideal for adding volume, length or subtle variations of colour.
Invisible, targeted placement
CombLine creates fine, comfortable joints that can be positioned around the hairline, contours and parting, where many traditional methods cannot be used.
The consultation
Colour, placement and condition come first
A consultation allows your extensionist to assess density, condition, colour history and the areas where added hair will create the most natural result.
Your specialist will also explain the different methods, expected maintenance, aftercare and realistic longevity before any application begins.

Advice from the Jo Hansford extension team
Who are extensions suitable for?
Extensions can be particularly helpful for clients with naturally fine hair, reduced volume or areas that need discreet fullness. Both bonds and tapes can create volume or length, with maintenance often guiding the final choice.
In cases of active hair loss, extensions should only be considered once the shedding process has stopped and the hair is ready for application.
Why a personalised blend matters
Extensions can transform the overall look and restore confidence, whether adding a few carefully placed bonds or creating fuller length throughout.
Close collaboration between the colourist and extensionist ensures the added hair blends naturally with the colour, texture and movement already created.
What makes CombLine different?
CombLine can add volume and length in delicate areas including the contours, upper sections and parting. The result is lightweight, comfortable and designed to behave like natural hair.
Depending on placement and aftercare, the extensions generally last around four to eight weeks and can be combined with other methods where appropriate.
How do you keep extensions looking their best?
Extensions should enhance your routine rather than overwhelm it. Treating them with the same care as your natural hair and following a simple daily routine can help maintain softness, movement and condition.
Booking refits in advance is also essential, helping prevent matting and keeping each attachment maintained within the correct timeframe.
Everyday care
Simple aftercare for lasting results
Brush daily
Use a specialist extension brush and work gently through the lengths, supporting the hair near the attachment points.
Choose gentle cleansing
Use a high-quality sulphate-free shampoo and avoid applying conditioner directly onto the bonds or tapes.
Protect hair overnight
Secure the hair loosely using a silk hair tie before sleeping to reduce tangling and unnecessary friction.
Keep to your refit schedule
Regular maintenance appointments help protect the natural hair, maintain placement and keep the finished result looking seamless.
