Aftercare

When you have had your hair extensions fitted do not wash your hair for the first three to five days to allow your scalp to settle. Remember to brush the extensions carefully to prevent loosening and damage to the connections holding them to your hair. Harsh treatment will also put strain on the natural hair root. A Tangle Teezer brush, hair extension brush or wide toothed comb is recommended for use on your hair extensions.

Wash your hair extensions once or twice a week only. If you need to cleanse your scalp use Batiste Dry Shampoo between washes. You can wash the top area if this becomes greasy, as the hair extensions will not be applied to the crown area. Always use a good clarifying shampoo and conditioner. If you have bonds avoid conditioning the bonded area, work the conditioner in the hair from mid length downwards. Add a little serum to the wet hair before drying, to allow your comb to glide easily through the hair and give beautiful bounce. Always use a heat protection spray when straightening hair to create a protective barrier against the heat.

Moisturise every other day with serum as hair does not receive your natural oils so you need to add moisture. If you do not moisturise your hair extensions they will become dry and brittle leading to breakage and split ends. Only a small amount of product is needed, avoid saturating the hair and making it limp and greasy. Wash in between the braids to keep your scalp clean.Never go to bed with your hair extensions wet, this will cause matting and tangling. Do not bleach, dye, perm or chemically straighten your hair extensions as they may become damaged.

Do not bleach, dye, perm or chemically straighten your hair extensions as they may become damaged as they have already been treated before fitting. Braid your hair and use a soft bobble at night to prevent your hair from tangling and always brush out all knots before you wash your hair, swim or sleep. If you like to swim, always shampoo and condition afterwards as chlorine dries your hair out and will soften the bonds and make the hair extensions loosen.

See your technician every four to six weeks for maintenance visits to help with longevity. Hair extensions should not be worn longer than a three-month period as this will result in matting and tangling. Hair extensions are fun, fashionable and sexy and your hair is your beauty so enjoy!
