AT HOME HAIR EXTENSION CARE

Hair Extension After Care

BRUSHING:

Use a Boar Bristle brush daily to remove any knots or tangles
Gather the hair into a ponytail & securely hold close to the scalp. Begin brushing from the ends, carefully working your way up to the scalp
Brushing your hair before it gets wet will help the hair from tangling while washing
WASHING:

DO NOT wash K-Tips or Tape extensions for at least 24 hours to allow your newly applied extensions to adhere completely

Now that you have more hair, you can divide the hair into two sections and shampoo or create multiple ponytails and go section-by-section.



SHAMPOO

Use a Sulphate-free and paraben free shampoo
Beginning at the top of the head, massage shampoo into the hair, carefully making your way towards the nape. Do not use a circular motion or flip you head upside down to avoid tangles.
Part air & rinse thoroughly. If you used the ponytail method to wash your hair, rinse one section at a time. Follow up with a final rinse.
CONDITION

Use hydrating conditioner.
To protect your extensions, we recommend a leave-in-conditioner, heat protectants, as well as treatment oils from mid-shafts to ends
Rinse completely
DRYING

Towel or air dry your hair as much as possible before using a blow dryer.
The use of leave-in-conditioners, heat protectants, as well as treatment oils from mid-shaft to ends is recommended to protect your extensions
Using a blow dryer, rough dry the hair
Starting at the ends and working your way up toward the scalp, round brush the hair.


STYLING TOOLS

Temperature setting depends on your natural hair. You may use between 270F – 450F on your extensions as long as you apply proper heat protectants before styling
Keep all hot tools away from the point of attachment
PRODUCTS

Use professional-grade products recommended by your stylist to maintain the health of your natural hair & extensions
Avoid alcohol-based products & oils close to the point of attachment as it may compromise any bonding agents and cause sliding.




SWIMMING

Before swimming, wet your hair with fresh tap water and apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner to the ends
Tie a loose ponytail or braid
Once you are finished swimming, rinse the extensions with fresh water and spray with leave-in conditioner
SLEEPING

Brush hair gently and loosely braid before sleeping
Do not go to bed with wet hair as it can cause tangling close to the scalp. If this occurs, schedule an appointment with your stylist to remove it immediately.
COLORING:

DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COLOR YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS AT HOME. Please consult your certified Stylist for all color services and inquiries.
SUNSCREENS

Avoid the use of chemical-based sunscreens, as this can discolor the hair. Please use mineral-based sunscreens only
