Hair Extensions Aftercare
Please follow these general instructions to prolong the life of
your professionally applied human and/or mono-fibre hair extensions.
- Brushing - Always hold extensions at the root area
when brushing to avoid unnecessary tension on the roots and
bonds. Brush hair using a soft bristle brush as this will slide
over the bonds. Begin brushing the ends of the hair in downwards
strokes moving up the hair until finally reaching the root area
and brushing gently from the root through to the ends. Never
comb or brush in between the extension bond and the scalp as
this will result in extensions coming out.
- Washing - Before washing, detangle hair from ends
working your way up to the roots. Carefully wash hair with
warm water and a mild shampoo. Wash hair in the shower keeping
the hair in a downward flow, wet thoroughly and apply a generous
amount of shampoo. Massage the shampoo gently at the scalp area
and stroke down the hair to the tips. Do not rub or twist the
hair as this will cause tangling. Rinse thoroughly and gently
squeeze out excess water. A mild shampoo is required for
shampooing, a frequent use one. Hair needs to be washed no more
than 3 times a week to remove any oils from your natural hair.
- Conditioning - Apply conditioner through the
mid-lengths to the ends of the hair. Never apply conditioner to
the root area and the bonds as this will result in the
extensions slipping out. Use a good quality conditioner,
alternatively, use a conditioner recommended for permed or
colour treated hair. Stroke the conditioner into the hair in
downward movements and leave the conditioner on the hair for the
required time, then rinse thoroughly. Gently squeeze hair to
remove excess water.
- After Washing - Gently pat wet hair with a towel to
remove excess water without rubbing it. Gently comb through,
separate extensions at the root area before drying, making sure
each one is hanging separate from its neighbouring connection.
This ensures that the bonds do not stick together. You can apply
serums, mousse and gels etc. on wet or dry hair. However, avoid
contact with the bond as this could cause them to slide out.
- Drying - Blow-drying Straight - Using a cool setting
on your dryer, tip your head forward and dry the root area, once
the root area is dry, turn your head the right way up. Using a
warm or hot setting, blow-dry the hair section by section. Hold
each section of hair over a soft bristle brush and direct the
blow dryer down the hair shaft to the ends. Scrunch drying - Tip
your head upside down, using a cool setting on the dryer, dry
the root area first. Keeping your head upside down, turn up the
heat setting and hold hair into a diffuser. When just about dry,
turn your head up straight and scrunch with your fingers for the
finishing touches. Allow to dry naturally when possible.
- Styling - Hot Rollers - Apply a little mousse to the
ends of your hair after it has been blow-dried. Keep the hot
rollers away from the bonds and use as normal. Do not direct hot
air from a blow-dryer or heat from tongs and rollers onto the
bonding area, as this will cause the bonds to soften and you may
lose extensions.
- Sleeping - When sleeping, gently plait the hair or
tie in a soft band to prevent tangling. Never sleep on wet hair
and always make sure hair is completely dry before going to bed.
- General Wear - Do not apply unnecessary tension to
the bond and root areas by tying ponytails too tight. Wash your
hair after exercise, swimming etc. It is recommended to wear
your hair up or in a ponytail when you swim or exercise. Please
note, excessive pulling or picking of extensions may result in
extensions coming out and your own hair breaking off. It is very
common to lose strands of hair when brushing and you can also
expect to lose some of the extensions.
