What the term means.
An extension can leave with a naturally shedding hair even when the bond is intact. Alternatively, a fibre may detach while the natural hair remains. These observations can help an artist investigate but do not establish the cause on their own.
Retention involves preparation, environment, contact, fibre suitability and home care rather than just glue described as strong. Note when unexpected gaps appeared and which areas are affected, then discuss the pattern with the studio instead of attempting a home repair.
The technical details.
- Bond performance
- Whether the attachment remains secure
- Natural renewal
- A separate change in available coverage
- Useful observations
- Timing, pattern and affected sections
- Maintenance
- Review of growth and attachments together
These are industry definitions. Product names, profiles and availability vary; your artist selects the actual system and construction for your appointment.
A common question.
Can a fixed wear time be guaranteed?
A style label or adhesive setting speed cannot guarantee identical wear for every person. Natural growth, application and care all influence the maintenance needed.
