Questions about our hair

Are Roots by Tayo extensions 100% human hair?

Yes, all of our extensions are made from 100% Vietnamese human hair. This means they can be washed, styled, and treated just like your own hair.

Do the extensions blend with natural Afro-textured and curly hair?

Absolutely. The textures are specifically designed for Afro-textured and curly hair, ranging from the tightest coils to a silk pressed.

If you are unsure of what texture will suit you, feel free to send us and email or use our live chat!

If the hair is of Vietnamese origin, how come it's not straight?

Vietnamese hair is highly regarded for its strength, longevity, and premium quality in its raw state, which is why we’ve chosen it as our foundation. While naturally straight, the hair undergoes a gentle steam processing to create our signature textures that mimic Afro textured and curly hair. This process does not involve harsh chemicals and ensures the extensions maintain the softness, durability, and natural movement that Vietnamese hair is known for.

What’s the difference between clip-ins, wefts, and ponytails?
  • Clip-ins: Quick and versatile and perfect for instant volume or length you can install at home in minutes.
  • Wefts: Ideal for sew-ins, wig making, or professional installations that require a longer term style.
  • Ponytails: The go to for a sleek, effortless hairstyle that takes less than 10 minutes.

Can I colour or bleach the hair?

Yes, our extensions can be coloured or bleached by a professional stylist. For best results, we recommend working with a colourist experienced in handling human hair extensions.

How long does the hair last?

With proper care, Roots by Tayo extensions can last up to 3 years. The longevity depends on how often you wear them and how well you maintain them.

What colour do the extensions come in?

The hair will come in a natural black colour. As the hair is made from raw Vietnamese Hair the darkness may vary from bundle to bundle.

Will the curl pattern remain the same after bleaching?

Bleaching or lightening any human hair can alter its natural structure. While our extensions are made from high-quality hair, chemical processing may loosen the curl pattern or affect the texture’s longevity. To preserve the curl definition, we recommend minimal bleaching and having all colouring services done by a professional who specialises in working with textured human hair.

Styling questions

Can I straighten or curl the hair?

Yes. Since our extensions are 100% human hair, you can heat style them just like your natural hair.

What products do you recommend for styling?

We suggest lightweight products, heat protectants and a moisturising shampoo and conditioner. Avoid heavy butters or oils, which can weigh the hair down. Visit the Hair Care page for recommendations.

Will the hair revert back to its natural texture after styling?

Yes. After washing, the extensions will return to their original texture.

Maintenance

How often should I wash my clip ins or wefts?

It's recommended to wash your extensions every 1-2 weeks to ensure the hair isn't weighed down with excess product or build up.

How do I store my extensions when not in use?

We created beautiful satin lined boxes to help keep your extensions tangle free and luscious. We recommend using the boxes provided to store your extensions.

Can I swim or exercise with my extensions in?

Yes, for swimming we recommend braiding or tying the hair, and washing/conditioning immediately afterwards to remove chlorine or salt water.

Choosing the right texture

How do I know which texture will match my hair?

We’ve carefully created textures to complement textured hair:

  • Omolara – Perfect for silk-pressed or relaxed hair.
  • Temilola – Mimics natural hair when blow dried.
  • Kemi – Blends seamlessly with tight curls and coils.
Can I cancel or change my pre-order?
