Application & Maintenance
The application, maintenance, and chemical processes of your hair extensions must be strictly performed by a professional stylist or a beauty salon.
Important Warnings
DO NOT Over-Wash Your Extensions
Over washing can strip the hair of its natural oils and lead to dryness. When washing, avoid scrubbing or twisting the extensions.
AVOID Excessive Heat Styling
Using high heat on styling tools can cause your extensions to become brittle and damaged. Always use heat protectant products and set your tools to a low or medium heat setting.
NEVER Sleep with Wet Extensions
Sleeping with wet extensions can lead to tangling and breakage. Make sure your extensions are fully dry before going to bed.
Essential tips and practices
Washing Your Extensions
Frequency: Wash your extensions every 7-10 days. Over-washing can strip the hair of its natural oils and lead to dryness.
Shampoo: Use a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo. Sulfates can damage the hair and reduce its lifespan.
Technique: Avoid scrubbing or twisting the extensions. Rinse thoroughly with room temperature water.
Conditioner: Apply a hydrating conditioner from mid-length to ends. Avoid the roots to prevent the extensions from becoming greasy. Leave it on for a few minutes before rinsing.
Drying Your Extensions
Pat Dry: Gently towel-dry your extensions by patting them. Avoid rubbing or wringing the hair.
Avoid Heat: Let your extensions air-dry whenever possible. Excessive heat can cause damage and lead to dryness.
Blow-Drying: If you must use a blow dryer, set it to a low heat setting. Use a heat protectant spray to safeguard the hair.
Styling Your Extensions
Heat Tools: Use heat styling tools (curling irons, straighteners) on a low to medium heat setting. Always apply a heat protectant spray before styling.
Brush Gently: Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush specifically designed for extensions. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid breakage.
Avoid Over-Styling: Give your extensions a break from styling to maintain their health and longevity.
Regular Maintenance
Schedule regular trims every 6-8 weeks to keep the ends of your extensions healthy and prevent split ends.
For tape-in or adhesive extensions, follow the recommended re-application schedule (usually every 6-8 weeks) to maintain a seamless look.
