Shipping Information – Trendy Hair
Shipping and Delivery
We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours of receiving your payment confirmation. All packages are sent via NZ Post Overnight Signature Required service, using a standard tracked delivery option at your expense.
📦 Delivery Timeframes
Orders placed before 2 PM (Monday–Friday) are typically delivered overnight.
Orders placed after 2 PM on Friday, over the weekend, or on public holidays will be processed on the next business day.
Rural deliveries may take up to 3 working days, so please allow extra time if your address is outside standard urban zones.
Saturday delivery is available for an additional charge (urban areas only). Orders must be placed before 2 PM Friday to qualify.
🕓 Delivery Estimates & Delays
Please note that any delivery timeframes we provide are estimates only. While we strive to ensure your order arrives promptly, Trendy Hair is not responsible for delays once the parcel is in the hands of NZ Post.
Contact NZ Post directly with your tracking number for the most up-to-date information.
You can also reach out to Trendy Hair immediately so we can assist in investigating the issue. It's much easier to locate missing parcels within a few days of dispatch than weeks later.
🚚 Responsibility After Dispatch
Although we use NZ Post’s overnight service, occasional delays can happen that are beyond our control. Once the parcel has been handed to NZ Post, delivery is their responsibility. We highly recommend contacting them directly for any issues related to tracking or late arrivals.
📬 Authority to Leave (ATL) Requests
If you request Authority to Leave after your parcel has already been shipped:
NZ Post will reroute your parcel, which may delay delivery.
The shipping method will be converted to a different service and will no longer qualify for overnight delivery.
We recommend keeping the Signature Required option to ensure a fast, secure, and trackable delivery experience.
Exchange and Refund Policy
Return & Exchange Policy – Trendy Hair
At Trendy Hair, we want you to be fully satisfied with your purchase. That’s why we offer returns and exchanges within 180 days of your order date — as long as the product has not been opened, worn, or altered in any way.

Please Note: Items marked as clearance or final sale cannot be returned or exchanged.
🎨Tester Pieces for Colour Matching
We know matching hair colour online can be tricky. That’s why most of our Clip-In, Halo, and Ponytail extensions come with a tester piece, located in the top or bottom compartment of the packaging.
Use the tester to check for a colour match without opening the full set.
If the colour isn’t right, you can return or exchange the set — as long as both the full set and tester piece are returned in unused, original condition.
Important: Please do not cut, dye, straighten, curl, wash, or tone the tester piece. If the tester or product has been tampered with, the return or exchange will not be accepted.
💰 Refunds, Exchanges & Store Credit
Once your return is received and approved:
You may choose a refund, exchange, or store credit.
Refunds will exclude original shipping costs.
Exchanges require a standard $8 NZD shipping fee.
For orders placed using Afterpay or other Pay Later services, a 5% restocking fee applies. Refunds for these services usually take 3–5 business days, though it may take up to 7 business days depending on your financial provider.
🚚 Shipping Responsibilities
Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility.
If you are requesting a refund, we will deduct our original shipping cost from your total refund amount.
If you are requesting an exchange, you will need to pay the $8 NZD exchange shipping fee.
🔍 Damaged, Faulty, or Incorrect Items
If your order arrives damaged, faulty, or incorrect, please notify us and return the product for inspection.
If the product is found to be defective or not up to our quality standards, we will cover the cost of return shipping and send a replacement at no extra cost.
If you opt for a refund instead, it will be processed within 3–5 business days once we receive the returned item.
If the item is found to be in good condition, we cannot offer a refund or exchange due to hygiene reasons. Additionally, return shipping costs will not be reimbursed unless the item was genuinely faulty.

Men Hair Loss Solutions
What type of hair is used in Trendy Hair's men's hair systems?
Yes, we do recommend only people with some experience in hairdressing take advantage of our training courses. A basic understanding of hair fundamentals is important to get the most out of these courses.
How long does a human hair system last?
With the right maintenance, a human hair system from Trendy Hair can typically last anywhere from six months to a year. If the adhesive starts to loosen over time, the system can be professionally reattached to keep it secure and looking natural.
What type of styling products can I use on my hair system?
You’re free to use styling gels, waxes, or creams to shape and hold your hairstyle as desired. If you’re using heavier products like strong waxes or oil-based stylers, Trendy Hair recommends thoroughly rinsing your hair system during washing to avoid product buildup and maintain its quality.
Can I colour my hair system?
Trendy Hair’s human hair systems can be safely toned or darkened if needed. However, we strongly advise against bleaching or adding highlights. Because the hair has already undergone processing, it doesn't respond to lightening treatments the same way natural hair does—and attempting to bleach it could lead to permanent damage.
Will my hair system fade?
Over time, a hair system may experience some natural fading, but this is typically very minimal and not easily noticeable. Prolonged exposure to strong sunlight or contact with saltwater—such as from swimming in the ocean or using shampoos with high salt content—can speed up the fading process. To help preserve the color, Trendy Hair recommends using a gentle, sulphate-free shampoo.
If any fading does occur, the hair can be safely recolored. However, we advise against using bleach, as it can damage the hair fibres.
How often do I need to visit the salon to maintain my hair system?
To keep your hair system looking and feeling its best, we recommend visiting the salon every 4 to 6 weeks. During this maintenance appointment, the system is gently removed, any adhesive residue is cleaned off, the natural hair underneath is tidied up, and the system is securely reapplied.
If you're using tape to hold your system in place, you may be able to manage the maintenance process at home with the right tools and guidance from Trendy Hair.
Do I need to shave my head to wear a hair system?
In most cases, yes — shaving the area where the system will be applied allows for the most secure and natural-looking result. That said, if you're unsure or just exploring the idea, there are alternative options available.

Choosing Between Human Hair and Synthetic Toppers
If you're after a topper that delivers maximum realism, styling freedom, and long-term wear, Trendy Hair recommends choosing human hair. It blends beautifully with your natural hair and is perfect for daily use.
While synthetic toppers are still a great option and made with quality fibres, they require a bit more care when washing and styling, and they don’t last as long as human hair alternatives.
Trendy Hair Tip:
If you want the most natural appearance and styling versatility, human hair is the way to go. But if you're looking for a low-maintenance, budget-friendly option, synthetic hair can still deliver great results.
How long does a human hair topper last?
With the right care and maintenance, human hair toppers from Trendy Hair can last anywhere from six months to a year when worn regularly. If used only on special occasions, they can last up to two years or more. Their durability, combined with their natural appearance and styling flexibility, makes them a great choice for anyone seeking a long-lasting, realistic hair solution.
How do I wash my human hair topper?
To keep your Trendy Hair topper in great condition, we recommend using shampoo and conditioner that are free from sulphates and parabens.
Here’s a simple step-by-step guide:
1. Fill a basin or sink with lukewarm water.
2. Add about two pumps of gentle shampoo into the water and stir to create a soapy mix.
3. Submerge your hair topper into the water.
4. Let it soak for about 3 to 5 minutes, then gently move it around in the water for another minute to loosen any buildup.
5. Rinse the topper thoroughly with clean lukewarm water.
6. Apply conditioner starting from the ends of the hair and gently work your way up toward the base using your fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
7. Rinse out the conditioner carefully.
You can either let the topper air dry naturally (preferably overnight) or place it under a warm dryer until fully dry.
How often should I wash my human hair topper?
To keep your human hair topper looking fresh and lasting longer, it’s best to wash it every 7 to 14 days, depending on how often you wear it and your lifestyle. If you use styling products regularly or sweat a lot, you might need to wash it more often. However, washing too frequently can dry out the hair, so finding the right balance is key.
Can I use hairspray on my topper?
Yes, you can use hairspray on your human hair topper to help hold your style in place. However, we recommend using a lightweight, alcohol-free hairspray to avoid drying out the hair or causing product buildup.
Trendy Hair Tip
A light mist goes a long way—avoid overloading your topper with too much product.
Can I colour my topper?
Yes, human hair toppers from Trendy Hair can be coloured, just like your natural hair. This allows you to tone, darken, or refresh the colour to match your own hair perfectly. However, we recommend avoiding bleach or high-lift lighteners, as these can damage the hair fibres and shorten the lifespan of the topper.
Trendy Hair Tip
If you're unsure about colouring, consider starting with a test strand or consult with our team before making any changes.
Clip-In Extensions vs. Halo Hair Extensions: Which is Right for You?
Halo Hair Extensions
Halo extensions come as one continuous weft of hair attached to a thin, invisible wire that sits comfortably around the crown of your head like a halo. Your natural hair covers the wire, creating a seamless blend with minimal effort. This is the quickest and easiest option for adding instant length and volume.
Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
One-piece application—quick and beginner-friendly
No clips, no damage, no tension on natural hair
Ideal for fine to medium hair types
Clip-In Extensions
Clip-ins are made up of small wefts of hair with clips attached, allowing you to section your natural hair and clip them in individually. They offer more styling versatility since you can place the wefts where you want volume or length. They’re perfect for those who want more control over their hairstyle and don’t mind spending a few extra minutes during application.
Great for building volume in specific areas
Can be layered and styled for a fuller look
Ideal for medium to thick hair types
Takes slightly more time to apply
Trendy Hair Tip:
If you’re new to extensions or want something fast and fuss-free, the Halo is a great choice. If you prefer more flexibility and volume placement, go for Clip-Ins.
Can I dye my extensions?
Yes, you can dye Trendy Hair human hair extensions. They can be toned or coloured to better match your natural hair—especially if you’re going a shade darker or adjusting the tone. However, we don’t recommend bleaching or lightening the extensions, as this can weaken the hair and shorten its lifespan.
For best results, always have colouring done by a professional who understands how to work with extensions to ensure even coverage and minimal damage.
Trendy Hair Tip
If you're unsure about colouring, it's a good idea to test on a small section first or reach out to our team for guidance before making any changes.
Please note, the guarantee excludes the following:
At Trendy Hair, we’re committed to providing high-quality products and excellent service. That’s why the majority of our hair extensions and related items are backed by a 28-day guarantee covering any manufacturing faults.
The guarantee does not apply in the following cases:
Damage resulting from incorrect application methods
Issues caused by improper use, such as unsuitable hair care routines, colouring, or cutting the wefts
Any damage due to attempts to alter or modify the extensions from their original condition
Excessive heat styling or poor maintenance practices
Colour fading over time
Products purchased on sale or as clearance items
Washing Your Hair Extensions
At Trendy Hair, all of our extensions are made from 100% Remy human hair. However, they do require special care and should not be washed the same way you would wash your natural hair.
Ready-to-Wear Extensions
(like Clip-In and Halo styles) only need to be washed after approximately 15 to 20 uses. Since they’re not attached to your scalp, they don’t absorb natural oils and stay cleaner for longer.
Semi-Permanent Extensions
(which stay in for extended periods) can be washed similarly to your own hair, but we recommend limiting this to 2–3 times per week. Always wash gently—avoid vigorous scrubbing—and use a shampoo that’s free from parabens, sulfates, and alcohol to help maintain their softness and longevity.
Colouring & Toning
At Trendy Hair, we generally advise against colouring your extensions—but if you choose to do so, proceed with care. We offer a free colour-matching service to help you find your perfect shade without the need for dye.
Important: Never attempt to lighten your extensions with bleach or lightening products. The hair may have already undergone a bleaching process, and further lightening can cause irreversible damage.
If you're aiming to tone your extensions to a cooler shade, we suggest using a gentle, sulfate-free purple shampoo in place of your regular one. Refer to our washing guide to ensure the best results without compromising the hair’s integrity.
Must-Have Hair Accessories for Your Extension Care Routine
To keep your hair extensions looking their best, the right tools make all the difference. Here are a few essential accessories we recommend adding to your collection:
Bristle Brush
Gently smooths and detangles your extensions, helping you achieve a polished finish without causing breakage or unnecessary stress on the hair.
Tail Comb
A styling must-have. This precise tool is perfect for sectioning, parting, and refining your look—especially useful when working with extensions.
Detangling Loop Brush
Designed specifically for extensions, this brush features looped bristles that glide through hair without tugging at bonds or damaging the wefts, making detangling safe and easy.
Choosing Extension-Friendly Products
Using the right hair care products is essential to prolong the life of your extensions and maintain their natural look and feel. Not all products are created equal—especially when it comes to hair extensions.
Here’s what to look for:
Sulfate-Free Shampoo & Conditioner
Sulfates can strip moisture and damage both your extensions and natural hair. Always opt for gentle, sulfate-free formulas to keep hair soft and manageable.
Alcohol-Free Styling Products
Products with high alcohol content can dry out extensions, leading to brittleness and breakage. Choose alcohol-free serums, sprays, and mousses for safe styling.
Lightweight Leave-In Treatments
Hydration is key! Use lightweight leave-in conditioners or oils (like argan or coconut oil) that nourish without weighing the hair down or affecting bond integrity.
Heat Protectant Sprays
Before using heat tools, always apply a thermal protectant to prevent heat damage and keep your extensions smooth and shiny.
Avoid heavy or oily products near the roots or bonds, as they can loosen tapes, wefts, or other attachment methods.
