HAIR EXTENSIONS AFTERCARE

 

ALWAYS WASH USING GENTLE SMOOTHING MOTIONS – NO SCRUBBING!

USE COOL TO MEDIUM WATER TEMP.

RINSE, RINSE, AND RINSE AGAIN – EVEN WHEN YOU THINK YOU’RE DONE.

CONDITIONER STAYS STRICTLY ON THE MID-LENGTHS TO ENDS – NEVER ON THE ROOTS OR LACE

CLOSURE BASE. OILY ROOTS = SLIPPAGE & BALDING SYSTEMS. NOT THE VIBE.

 

 

CUSTOM-COLOURED ROOTS ON LACE CLOSURES WILL FADE OVER TIME. EXPECT TOP-UPS.

HAIR EXTENSIONS CAN CHANGE COLOUR WITH SUN, HEAT, WASHING, & WEAR – THAT’S NORMAL.

NO PURPLE SHAMPOO ON LACE CLOSURES – IT DRIES THEM OUT AND CAN DAMAGE THE BASE.

 

 

FAKE TAN, MAKEUP, AND SKINCARE NEAR YOUR HAIRLINE? BE CAREFUL!

OILS FROM YOUR SKIN OR PRODUCTS CAN CAUSE BALD PATCHES ON THE LACE.

AVOID LETTING ANY PRODUCTS TRANSFER ONTO THE CLOSURE – APPLY WITH CARE.

 

 

LOOSELY PLAIT YOUR HAIR INTO TWO OR TIE IT IN A LOW PONYTAIL USING A SILK SCRUNCHIE.

NO TIGHT BUNS, NO HIGH PONYTAILS – KEEP TENSION TO A MINIMUM.

SILK PILLOWCASES OR BONNETS ARE YOUR BEST FRIENDS FOR PROTECTING YOUR SYSTEM.

 

 

KEEP HEAT BELOW 180°C (OR AS LOW AS POSSIBLE) & ALWAYS USE HEAT PROTECTION SPRAY.

STYLE AS NEEDED, BUT MAKE SURE YOUR MESH OR CLOSURE IS LYING FLAT – A LIGHT WATER

SPRITZ AND BLAST FROM THE DRYER WORKS WONDERS IN THE MORNING.

 

 

NO SWIMMING UNDERWATER WITH EXTENSIONS OR MESH. CHLORINE WILL DESTROY THE TEXTURE AND COLOUR.

SALT WATER IS ALSO DRYING – AVOID SEA DIPS WITH EXTENSIONS IN.

GOING ON SUNBEDS? WRAP YOUR HAIR UP IN A TOWEL OR T-SHIRT.

UV CAN TURN BLONDES ORANGE AND FADE BRUNETTES – PROTECT WITH HATS OR SCARVES.

 

 

KEEP HAIR OFF YOUR SHOULDERS IF YOU’RE WEARING SUNCREAM – IT CAN STAIN AND DRY OUT THE HAIR.

BE EXTRA CAREFUL NEAR YOUR HAIRLINE – ESPECIALLY WITH OILY PRODUCTS.

 

 

USE A PROPER BLOW-DRY BRUSH FOR WET STYLING AND A SOFT DETANGLER FOR DAY-TO-DAY.

WRONG BRUSHES = RIPPING, SNAPPING, AND TEARS (YOURS AND THE HAIR’S).

POP ONE IN YOUR BAG FOR TOP-UPS THROUGHOUT THE DAY.

 

 

USE SALON-APPROVED, SULPHATE-FREE PRODUCTS ONLY.

WASH WITH SHAMPOO (TWICE!), FOLLOW WITH CONDITIONER OR HAIR MASK ON THE ENDS, THEN USE A HEAT DEFENCE + HAIR OIL.

REMEMBER: YOUR EXTENSIONS OR MESH SYSTEM DON’T GET YOUR SCALP’S NATURAL OILS – SO THEY NEED EXTRA LOVE.

WE RECOMMEND OUR ICONIC 4-STEP SYSTEM, AVAILABLE IN SALON OR ONLINE.
