Hair Extensions are expensive. In order to protect and extend the life of your extensions, we recommend the following care:
-
Always Wash with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. (preferably moisture based)
-
Use a lightweight oil on the mid to ends of the hair at least once a day. Keep oil off the root area of hair.
-
Letting your hair air-dry is great, but make sure to blow dry the tape area to ensure no moisture leaks into the adhesive, causing lifting.
-
Put your hair into a low pony or braid when sleeping. This will protect the cuticle of the hair.
-
Sleep on a silk pillowcase, again this cares for the cuticle of the hair.
-
Brush your extensions with a WET Brush or special Extension brush ALWAYS! Hold the hair near the root area and brush from the ends of your hair moving upward.
-
Brush a few times a day to prevent tangling. The more brushing the better.
-
When swimming, coat your hair in conditioner before entering the water and wear in a braid, low pony, high bun, or even better throw a hat on!.
-
If you are wearing tape-in extensions; Do not apply conditioner near the tape area. This will cause the adhesive to fail and they will come out.
-
Be aware, saltwater and chlorine WILL strip hair of color and moisture, and can shorten the life of hair extensions.
-
You do not want to "ball up" or "scrunch up" your hair like a child when washing. You want to stroke the hair in a downward motion, being gentle but still getting them clean. You may massage your scalp with your fingertips but you want to keep it gentle. There is no need to scrub. This will diminish the life of your hair and mostly likely cause tangling.
-
For the TAPE-IN method, you CANNOT wash your hair for at least 48 hours after the extensions have been installed. If at all possible I suggest 72 hours for the best possible bond but for my clients who have oily hair I know that can be hard so 48 will do.
