Your Full Shine human hair clip-in extensions are an investment in effortless beauty, delivering instant volume, length, and a salon-quality shine. Made from real human hair, they offer unparalleled realism and styling versatility. However, just like your natural hair, they have a lifespan. With regular love, wear, and styling, they will eventually begin to show signs of fatigue.
Knowing when to retire your current set and invest in a new hair extensions is crucial for maintaining that flawless, “is-it-her-hair?” look. If you’re wondering if it’s time for an new hair extensions, watch for these key signals.
The Signature Shine Has Faded
The “Full Shine” name promises a brilliant, healthy luster. The most telling sign that your extensions are aging is when this signature shine diminishes. Instead of reflecting light beautifully, the hair may look:
While high-quality conditioners can temporarily revive the hair, permanent damage to the hair cuticle from heat, sun, and product buildup will eventually rob it of its innate shine. If deep conditioning treatments no longer restore that brilliant gloss, the hair has passed its prime.
The Texture Feels Rough and Constantly Tangles
Run your fingers through the wefts. When they were new, the strands should have felt smooth and slippery. Now, if they feel:
- Brittle or Rough: This indicates the outer cuticle layer is lifted and damaged.
- Prone to Severe Tangling: If you find yourself fighting knots every time you wear or brush them, it’s a sign the cuticles are no longer lying flat.
Healthy human hair cuticles lie flat, allowing strands to glide past each other smoothly. Damaged cuticles catch and snag, leading to constant tangling that further worsens the condition.
You Notice Significant Shedding
It’s normal to see a few strands in your brush after detangling. However, be concerned if you observe:
Excessive shedding compromises the density and volume of your extensions. When the wefts become thin, they won’t blend seamlessly with your natural hair, making them easier to detect and less effective for creating volume.
The Clips Are Compromised
The clips are the foundation of your Full Shine extensions. Check them regularly for:
- A Weak Grip: The clips should snap shut firmly and hold your hair securely. If they feel loose, floppy, or don’t hold as well, they are failing.
- Rust or Corrosion: Any sign of rust on the metal parts can stain your natural hair and scalp and is a clear indicator that the clips need to be replaced.
- Broken or Bent Teeth: Damaged teeth will snag and pull your hair, causing discomfort and potential breakage.

The Color Has Faded or Changed
Human hair extensions can fade or develop brassy, unwanted tones over time due to washing, UV exposure, and hard water. If your Full Shine extensions no longer match your natural hair color perfectly—whether they’ve faded or your own hair color has changed—it will be impossible to achieve a seamless blend.
Maximizing the Life of Your New Hair Extensions
Once you invest in a new set, protect your investment with proper care:
Wash gently in a downward motion to prevent tangling.
Always use a thermal spray before using hot tools.
Use a loop brush or wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends.
