Aftercare
Aftercare advice
It is vital that you follow the correct aftercare procedure in order to ensure your hair extensions will remain in great condition for a full three months. We recommend you buy a shampoo and conditioner designed for hair extensions as these usually contain no oils (oils can damage the bonds and make your extensions fall out). You should also invest in a heat protecting spray, especially if you like to straighten or curl your hair, and a glossing serum can keep your extensions looking silky and shiny. You will also need a soft bristled brush.
Brushing
Hair should be brushed from the bottom up, gently working out any tangles and should be brushed at least twice a day. Bonds may need to be separated after washing or blow drying as the heat can make the glue tacky and hairs can stick to it when this happens.
Washing
The hair should be kept clean as the scalp’s natural oils can compromise the bonds
Hair should only be exposed to water for short periods of time i.e. no soaking in the bath
Hair should be washed using a ‘smoothing’ motion rather than a ‘scrubbing’ one
Conditioner should be kept away from the bonds, although conditioning the lengths of the hair is very important as this will keep your extension hair smooth and supple for longer. We also recommend that you use a weekly intensive conditioner.
Products i.e. serum and mousse etc should be kept away from the bonds.
Hair should be ‘patted’ dry with a towel and not towel dried
After each wash you should separate the bonds to stop them from sticking together.
Styling
Hair should be combed through with a wide tooth comb before blow drying
Hair should be blow dried on a cool setting
Hair can be straightened and curled, however you must not touch the bonds with heated hair tools. YOU MUST use Heat protectors when using heated hair tools.
Hair should be brushed at least 3 – 4 times per day to prevent tangling. Back combing is not recommended.
Colouring
You can continue to colour your roots but you MUST NOT get colorant on your bonds
Sports and activities
You should wear your hair up for sports. Extensions are not recommended for regular swimmers. If you wear a helmet (sports equipment, cycling, motorbike, horse riding etc) your hair is more likely to get tangled without correct care.
Sleeping
Never go to sleep with wet hair and if possible, wear hair in a loose ponytail.
