Q: Is this Micro-Braiding? A: No. Micro braids are visible. The Optimal Image All Natural Strand by Strand System is very undetectable. Even to the naked eye.
Q: Will it cause any damage to my hair? A: No. When following the recommended weekly hair maintenance, the Optimal Image Strand by Strand system will not cause any damage to your natural hair or the add-in hair. It can actually promote healthier hair growth.
Q: Does the add-in hair shed or tangle? A: Yes & No. Your own natural hair sheds on average about 100 to 150 hairs a day. So there will be natural hair shedding. However, when the recommended weekly hair maintenance is followed consistently, there’s no excessive shedding and virtually no tangles with the add-in hair. You’ll have free-flowing hair, with a natural look and feel. You’ll also have total versatility with the Optimal Image Strand by Strand.
Q: Do you use Human Hair? A: Yes. We use the very best 100% Human Hair that will match your natural hair color and texture.
Q: How long does it take to apply? A: Since the Optimal Image Strand by Strand is an All Natural process, it takes approximately 30 to 35 hours or 3 days to apply on African-American hair texture, and approximately 40 to 60 hours or 4 to 6 days to apply on Caucasian/European hair texture.
Q: How long will it last? A: The Optimal Image Strand by Strand will last 6 to 12 months. The longevity is also based on how fast your natural hair grows and how well you maintain your hair extensions.
Q: Can I still relax or perm my hair? A: Yes, you can relax or perm your hair without the hassle of removing your hair extensions. Saving you a lot of time and money.
Q: How much does it cost? A: Currently, a full head starts at $4,800 for African - American hair texture, and starts at $6,300 for Caucasian/European hair texture including the hair. Starting prices includes only one color, texture, and length.
Q: Can I apply direct heat to my hair? A: Yes, since it’s just hair secured to hair, you can apply direct heat. However, you must follow the hair maintenance instructions.
Q: What about removing extension or retouches? A: When the hair maintenance instructions are followed correctly, there’s no retouching necessary. The removal process is easy and takes approximately 5 to 7 hours. We recommend that you have a skilled professional stylist to remove your extensions. We also provide easy to follow take down instructions for clients that are out of state or country.
