Genius Weft: 1 weft at 11.5" wide. Tape-In: 20 tabs per pack. K-Tips: 20 keratin-bonded strands per bundle.

COLOR

How many shades are available?

Marie James offers 27 shades across three collections — 15 multidimensional blends and 12 solid shades — spanning the Naturals, Indulgence, and Signature Collections.

Can I dye or tone the hair?

Yes. All Marie James extensions are 100% human hair and can be toned or colored. We recommend consulting a professional stylist and always performing a strand test first.

How do I match a client's color?

We recommend using the Marie James Color Ring, which includes all 27 shades for precise client matching in person.

APPLICATION & METHODS

Which method is right for which hair type?

Genius Weft works beautifully on all hair types. Tape-Ins are best suited for medium hair types. K-Tips work on all hair types but are especially ideal for fine hair due to their lightweight, discreet bond.

What tools do I need?

Installation tools are sold separately. Marie James offers a full range of professional application tools including pre-strung microbeads, a looper tool, and more — available in the Artist Tools collection.

How long does each method last between maintenance?

Genius Weft: Up to 12 months with proper care. Tape-Ins: 6–8 weeks between move-up appointments. K-Tips: 3–4 months between maintenance.

CARE & MAINTENANCE

How often should the hair be washed?

We recommend washing every 2–4 days. Over-washing can shorten the life of your extensions and loosen adhesive bonds.

What products are safe to use?

Use sulfate-free, pH-balanced shampoo and conditioner (pH 4.5–5.5). Look for conditioners containing behentrimonium methosulfate, which provides moisture without weighing down the hair or affecting bonds.

How should extensions be brushed?

Use a Wet Brush or loop brush. Brush morning, night, and after washing — always starting from the ends and working upward to avoid tension at the bonds.

How should I dry my extensions?

Air-dry whenever possible. Never rub with a towel — instead, gently squeeze out excess water. Always ensure extensions are fully dry before sleeping to prevent matting and bond slippage.

How often should extensions be trimmed?

We recommend a trim every 3–4 months to keep ends healthy and blended naturally with your hair.
