NINFAS hair extensions are made from premium European human hair that is meticulously sourced and selected to ensure the highest quality. Our tape-ins and wefts feature Remy hair with the cuticle in tact, which is a term used to describe hair collected in a way that keeps the hair strands aligned in the same direction, from root to tip. (Remy hair is human hair)

The term "Remy hair" indicates that the cuticle, which is the outer protective layer of the hair, remains intact and aligned. This ensures that the hair maintains its natural shine, strength, and softness. With the cuticle layer preserved, NINFAS extensions offer a more natural look and feel.

By utilizing Remy hair in our extensions, we ensure that you receive a product that blends seamlessly with your own hair, creating a flawless and undetectable result. The cuticle's intact nature also minimizes tangling and allows for easier styling, making your hair extension experience more convenient and enjoyable.

At NINFAS, we are committed to providing you with the highest quality hair extensions, and our use of Remy hair is a testament to that. Experience the luxurious beauty and authenticity of NINFAS extensions, carefully crafted to enhance your natural look and provide a stunning transformation.

At the moment, our website features the Gold Line of tape-ins and wefts, which have been carefully selected to meet our strict quality standards. We have intentionally limited our initial product lines to ensure strict quality control and customer satisfaction.

To be transparent, we have not been satisfied with the hair used in other formats like the "flex/hybrid/genius wefts" post-pandemic. We prioritize maintaining the highest quality standards for our customers. Rest assured, when we find hair that meets our premium standards, we will introduce additional extension lines.

It's important to note that we do offer an editorial line exclusively for the TV, film, and fashion industries. However, this line is not featured on our website as it is reserved for industry professionals. We work directly with editorial stylists and hair departments to source extensions tailored to specific projects. If you're interested in the editorial line, we're more than happy to collaborate with you to source hair for your project.

Our commitment to quality remains unwavering, and we continuously strive to provide the best extensions to meet your needs. Stay tuned for future updates and new extension lines as we expand our offerings in the future.

The NINFAS Editorial Line is a specialized collection exclusively available to industry professionals. This line, not accessible on our website, was specifically developed by our founder, Paulo Passani. With over 25 years of experience as a platform stylist, Paulo recognized the need for a more diverse range of hair extensions tailored for TV, movie, and runway productions.

Unlike our standard line, the NINFAS Editorial Line offers unique features to cater to the specific requirements of the entertainment industry. It includes shorter lengths starting from 10 inches, which are commonly used for creating various looks for male actors in different roles. Additionally, the line boasts a complete range of "fantasy colors," featuring intensely saturated non-natural shades like pinks, purples, greens, and blues.

To ensure versatility, the NINFAS Editorial Line offers various textures to achieve distinctive looks. The extensions are available in tape-in format, which is the most cost-effective and time-saving method for producing TV shows, movies, runways, or theater productions.

Please note that the NINFAS Editorial Line is exclusively reserved for professionals in the industry. If you are a professional stylist or part of the entertainment world, please reach out to our team directly for more information and access to this unique line of extensions tailored for your specific needs.

When considering hair extensions, it's important to understand the distinction between single drawn and double drawn hair. At NINFAS, we offer the Gold Line tape-ins and wefts, which feature single drawn hair for specific advantages.

Single drawn hair extensions provide a more natural look by incorporating a variation in strand lengths. This is particularly beneficial for clients who are over 30 years old or have experienced hormonal changes due to childbirth. As we age or go through hormonal shifts, the hair naturally tends to thin out towards the ends. By using single drawn extensions, we can achieve a more seamless and realistic result that matches the natural density of the hair.

For clients seeking a subtle enhancement without excessive thickness, single drawn extensions are the ideal choice. They provide a gentle taper towards the ends, replicating the natural appearance of gradually thinning hair. This creates a more age-appropriate and natural-looking effect, allowing you to enjoy extensions that blend seamlessly with your own hair.

We understand that different clients have unique needs and preferences, which is why we offer single drawn hair extensions in our Gold Line and will be adding double drawn extensions in the near future. NINFAS Gold Line tape-ins and wefts provide a lightweight and discreet solution that addresses thinning ends and delivers a more understated volume. Our goal is to help you achieve a beautifully enhanced look that feels completely natural and complements your individual style.

Yes! Remy hair, which is what NINFAS tape-ins and wefts are made of, is an excellent choice for coloring. Remy hair refers to hair that is collected and bundled in a way that preserves the natural alignment of the hair cuticles, resulting in a high-quality and durable product. Here's why Remy hair is ideal for dyeing:

1. Excellent Absorption: Remy hair has intact cuticles that are aligned in the same direction. This allows for better absorption and retention of hair color, resulting in more vibrant and long-lasting color.
2. Consistent Results: The uniformity of Remy hair ensures that the color is applied evenly throughout the extensions, creating a cohesive and seamless look. This helps to achieve a natural appearance that blends seamlessly with your own hair.
3. Versatility: Remy hair provides the versatility to experiment with various dyeing techniques, including semi-permanent or permanent hair color, or ombre effects. You can easily transform your extensions to match your desired style.

However, it's important to note that while dyeing Remy hair extensions is possible and commonly done, we recommend exercising caution. Lightening or bleaching the hair involves more complex chemical processes that can compromise the hair's integrity and lead to damage. If you are not a stylist we highly advise seeking professional assistance for any coloring procedures.

Additionally, please keep in mind that once the hair has been dyed, it voids our quality guarantee. This is because the hair has undergone a chemical alteration that may affect its texture and performance over time.

We encourage you to perform a strand test before dyeing the extensions to ensure desired results and minimize any potential risks.

Remember, after installing your extensions, wait 48 hours before washing to ensure the tape fully adheres.

1. Shampooing and Conditioning

• Limit washing your hair to prevent the natural oils from being stripped and the tape bonds from weakening. Dry shampoo can serve as a handy alternative to prolong the period between washes.
• Select a premium Hydrating shampoo and conditioner, ensuring they are sulfate and paraben-free.
• Silicone-based products should be avoided as they can weigh your hair down and disrupt the extension bonding process. Opt for silicone-free alternatives instead.
• Begin shampooing at the scalp, letting the lather flow through the ends.
• Cleanse gently between the tapes to avoid scalp irritation and oil buildup.
• Use warm water for rinsing. High temperatures can cause the hair to dry and tangle.
• Handle your hair with care, avoiding harsh pulling or combing. Keep oils or conditioners away from the tape sections.

2. Moisturizing with a Hair Mask

• Each week, apply a moisturizing hair mask, concentrating on hydrating the ends of your extensions.
• Steer clear of masks rich in protein or strength-enhancing elements. Instead, choose those formulated specifically for hydration.
• Administer the mask from the mid-length to the ends of your hair, steering clear of the scalp and tapes to avoid loosening.

3. Drying and Styling Your Extensions

• Whenever possible, air dry your hair to minimize heat exposure and prevent damage.
• If blow-drying or styling is required, use a thermal protecting spray to safeguard your hair.
• Start applying hair oils or leave-in conditioners around your ears or jawline, working downwards. Avoid applying these products near the roots or tapes.
• If using heat styling tools, let your hair air dry until it's around 80%-90% dry. Be sure to keep flat irons away from the tape tabs.

4. Brushing Your Extensions

• When brushing, start at the ends, working your way up while securely holding the extensions at the scalp.
• Use a flexible brush to effectively detangle and smooth frizz.
• Be mindful while brushing. Harsh or vigorous brushing can loosen the tape's hold, leading to premature fallout of the extensions.

5. Preventing Tangling and Matting

• Sleeping on a silk pillowcase can help reduce friction and minimize tangling.
• Replace traditional hair ties with silk or satin scrunchies to avoid potential breakage.
• Ensure your hair is completely dry before bedtime, and tapes lay flat against the head to avoid twisting.
• If your hair tangles, apply a smoothing serum to the dry strands and gently detangle, moving from ends to roots.
• For wet tangles, use a leave-in spray or mask to help facilitate a gentle detangling process, done section by section.

6. Swimming Precautions

• If you plan to swim in a pool or the ocean, protect your hair by applying a leave-in conditioner beforehand.
• For added protection, braid your hair while swimming.

7. Sleep and Styling Tips

• To minimize frizz and prevent tangling, keep your hair in a loose ponytail or braid while sleeping.
• Make sure your hair and extensions are fully dry before hitting the pillow to avoid potential damage.

When applied, maintained, and removed correctly, tape-in hair extensions should not damage your hair. These extensions are designed to be lightweight and to evenly distribute weight across multiple hair strands, minimizing stress on your natural hair.

However, hair damage can occur if the extensions are improperly installed, cared for, or removed. This is why we strongly recommend having your extensions applied and removed by a professional stylist who is experienced in the tape-in extension technique.

It's also essential to follow the correct care guidelines for your extensions, including gentle brushing, avoiding certain products on the tape, and not pulling or tugging at your extensions. Taking these precautions will help maintain the health of your natural hair and the longevity of your extensions.

Remember, everyone's hair is different. If you have very thin or fragile hair, consult with a professional before deciding on any type of hair extensions.

The longevity of tape-in hair extensions can vary based on several factors, including the quality of the extensions, your personal hair care routine, and how fast your hair grows.

Typically, with proper care and maintenance, high-quality tape-in hair extensions can last anywhere from 6 to 8 weeks before they need to be repositioned. The extensions themselves, if made from high-quality hair, can be reused for multiple applications and can last for 6 to 12 months or even longer.

Remember, following the recommended care instructions—like gentle brushing, proper washing techniques, and avoiding harsh chemicals or heat near the tape—can greatly extend the life of your extensions. Regular appointments with your stylist for repositioning the extensions as your hair grows will also help maintain the health and appearance of your natural hair and the extensions.

1. Washing: Limit washing your extensions to 2-3 times a week, using a shampoo and conditioner that are free of sulfates and parabens. While washing, focus the shampoo on your scalp and let the suds rinse through the length of the extensions. The conditioner should primarily be applied to the mid-lengths and ends.
2. Drying: Aim to air-dry your extensions whenever possible to prevent heat damage. If you need to use a blow dryer, set it on a cool or low heat setting to protect the hair and beads from excessive heat.
3. Brushing: Daily brushing is crucial to keep tangles at bay. Start from the ends and gently work your way up to the roots using a soft bristle brush or a specialized extension brush. Be careful around the bead attachments to avoid pulling or tugging.
4. Styling: Before heat styling, apply a heat protectant to shield the hair from potential damage. Make sure to avoid the bead attachments with any heat tools as it can weaken their grip.
5. Product Usage: Products containing harsh ingredients, such as sulfates and alcohol, should be avoided as they can damage the hair and potentially affect the bead attachments.
6. Professional Maintenance: Schedule regular appointments with your stylist for upkeep. Depending on how quickly your hair grows, beaded weft extensions typically need to be adjusted every 6-8 weeks.
7. Sleeping: Before bed, secure your hair in a loose braid or ponytail to minimize tangling and stress on the beads. Also, consider using a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
