Extensions from Ludwigsburg
Extensions and Hair Lengthening from Ludwigsburg
In short: EchtHaar Direkt is a purely online shop based in Ludwigsburg, with no retail store and no salon of our own. Custom-made real hair extensions, wigs and toppers are made after you place your order (10 to 14 working days, 12 to 16 with your chosen color, in-stock items in 1 to 3 working days) and delivered to Ludwigsburg free of shipping costs. The hair is applied by a hairdresser near you: you can find hairdressers who install our hair in the stylist search, and salons can sign up through the partner program.
Our headquarters is at Römeraue 5 in Ludwigsburg. We are an online shop: you can order around the clock, your hair is made individually for you, and delivery within Germany is free of shipping costs.
So that it’s clear right away: we have no store you can drop by. We are an online shop based in Ludwigsburg. Your hair is made after you place your order and sent to you. It is applied by your hairdresser or by a salon from our directory. This page tells you how that works, which methods are available and what they cost.
What you get from us — and what you don’t
We supply the hair: real hair in your chosen color, in the length and quantity that suit you. We do not apply it for you. That is done by hairdressers and stylists — your own, or one from our directory.
The advantage is the price: you buy the hair directly from us, without a salon markup, and you settle the work directly with your hairdresser. If you want both from a single source, you usually pay for it on a single invoice, too.
Who is listed in the directory in Ludwigsburg and the surrounding area
There is currently no partner salon listed in Ludwigsburg. In the stylist search you can see live who is currently working near you.
Which methods are available
Four routes lead to longer hair, and they differ mainly in how long they last and how much upkeep they need: Bondings (8 to 12 weeks until re-application), Tape Extensions (4 to 8 weeks), Wefts (6 to 8 weeks until re-sewing) and Clip-ins (out again in the evening, no hairdresser needed at all).
All four side by side, with wear time, application time and honest limitations, can be found in Hair Extensions with Real Hair. Bondings come in seven variants — Flat-Tip, I-Tip, K-Tip, U-Tip, V-Tip, Nano Ring and Micro Ring —, explained in Bonding Types Compared. If it’s not length you’re missing but fullness, hair thickening will get you to your goal faster.
Wigs, toppers and ponytails
Not every question can be answered with extensions. For alopecia areata, after chemotherapy or with a heavily thinned crown, wigs, toppers and ponytails are the better route — as a wig, lace closure, lace frontal, wefted or hand-tied, also made of 100% real hair and in your chosen color. Hair Topper, Wig or Ponytail compares what suits which situation.
From 40 to 130 cm
With most providers, it ends at 60 or 70 cm. We offer nineteen lengths in five-centimeter steps:
40 · 45 · 50 · 55 · 60 · 65 · 70 · 75 · 80 · 85 · 90 · 95 · 100 · 105 · 110 · 115 · 120 · 125 · 130 cm
As a rough guide on an averagely tall woman: 40 cm ends at about the shoulder blade, 50 cm at the chest, 60 cm at the waist, 80 cm at the hip. Anything beyond that is extra length and should be chosen deliberately, because weight increases with length. Details in Extension Lengths from 40 to 130 cm and Extra-Long Extensions.
What it costs
The price consists of two separate blocks, and if you lump them together, you’re comparing apples with oranges:
- The hair — from us. Length, weight and method determine the price. One meter of hair costs many times more than 40 cm, because strands that long are rare.
- The work — with your hairdresser. It is charged by time and number of strands and agreed directly with them.
That’s why we don’t quote an all-in price: it would depend on a combination that doesn’t exist yet. What Do Real Hair Extensions Cost? has a calculator, three worked-out examples and the follow-up costs that nobody else mentions beforehand.
How your order works
1. Determine your color
The step that goes wrong most often. Screens and phone photos almost always shift shades. The safest way is the color ring: real hair to hold up against your own, in daylight. How to compare is explained in Finding Your Extensions Color.
2. Choose quantity, length and method
The quantity depends on the density of your own hair and your desired length. For orientation: How many grams do I need? Not sure? Ask us beforehand via WhatsApp, it costs nothing.
3. Production and photo
Your hair is made individually, which takes 10 to 14 working days. Before shipping, we send you a photo — you see your real hair before it gets started. Shipping within Germany is free.
4. Have it applied
With your hairdresser or at a salon from our directory. It’s best to book the appointment while your hair is being made — that way, everything fits together.
5. Re-apply instead of buying new
Every eight to twelve weeks, the extensions are moved up. Why that is the real cost factor is explained in Re-applying Bondings.
