**Silicone-free is a product specification, not a guarantee of lifespan or fitting safety.** Original Diva describes its extension hair as 100% human and silicone-free. This guide explains what to ask when comparing that claim with the other details that affect a purchase.

## What does silicone-free mean?

In this context, the claim refers to the supplied extension hair having no silicone coating. It does not describe every aspect of processing, the material of an attachment or the ingredients of your shampoo, conditioner or styling products.

Ask a supplier to distinguish material, cuticle alignment, processing and surface treatments. “Human hair”, “Remy” and “silicone-free” answer different questions.

## Can you tell from shine or softness?

Shine, softness or a photograph cannot reliably establish a coating or processing history. Ask for a clear specification and written care guidance. Avoid destructive home tests or washing a new set to test a claim before checking exchange conditions.

## What Original Diva specifies

Our range uses 100% human, silicone-free hair. Compare the current [product pages](/shop/) for length, total weight, piece count and attachment type. Ask us about any specification you need before ordering.

Wear life varies with the product, use, washing, heat styling, maintenance and storage. We do not treat a silicone-free claim as a promise that hair will perform identically after a set number of months.

## Fitting and natural-hair condition still matter

The weight and placement of extensions must suit the supporting hair. No coating claim makes a fitting risk-free. If you have thinning, active shedding or scalp discomfort, read our [suitability guide](/hair-extensions-thinning-hair-postpartum-menopause/) and seek appropriate advice before a fitting.

## A buying checklist

- Confirm the material and any coating claim with the supplier.
- Compare length, weight, coverage and attachment construction.
- Request care, heat-styling and colouring guidance.
- Read delivery and exchange terms before opening or altering a set.

Use our [colour chart](/colour-matching-service/#od-colour-chart), ask for a [free colour match](/colour-matching-service/) or [request a salon consultation](/book-appointment/).

## Frequently asked questions

### Are all human hair extensions silicone-free?

No such assumption should be made. Ask for the specification of the product you are considering.

### Does silicone-free mean rough or dry hair?

The claim alone does not establish texture or condition. Material, processing, construction and care also matter.

### Which hair-care products should I use?

Follow the instructions for your hair and attachment method. Keep heavy oils and conditioners away from tape tabs or bonds unless your fitting specialist advises otherwise. See our [care checklist](/caring-for-premium-quailty-human-hair-extensions/).
