Healthy Hair Extensions 101: How We Protect Your Natural Hair

“My Friend Said Extensions Will Destroy My Hair…” Let’s Talk About That.

We all have that one friend — the one who swears up and down that extensions will ruin your hair.And honestly? She’s not entirely wrong.

Some extensions can cause damage when they’re not installed, maintained, or customized properly.But that’s not what we do here at Texture+Sage.

Here’s the truth: your hair’s health always comes first in our chair.That’s why we take the time to density match your natural hair before ever installing a single weft.

What’s “Density Matching” Mean?

Think of it like this — your natural hair has its own strength, texture, and fullness.If we were to attach too much hair (even if it looks dreamy at first), it would eventually start pulling on the natural strands underneath. That’s when breakage and thinning happen.

So instead, we match the amount of extension hair to what your natural hair can actually support.

That means:

✨ No unnecessary weight pulling on fragile strands

✨ A seamless, believable blend

✨ Extensions that help assist you in growing out your hair, not make it worse

Every head of hair is different, and that’s why no two installs are ever the same.

At Texture+Sage, our goal isn’t just to give you beautiful, full hair — it’s to help you keep it.
