EXTENSION CARE
DAILY CARE
Brush your hair daily and remember to hold the base of your scalp where your extensions are attached to your natural hair and brush with your other hand from root to end.
Use a conditioning oil daily to keep your extensions from tangling or drying out.
Sleeping
Wear your hair in a low braid or loose bun while sleeping.
NEVER go to bed with your hair wet.
Sleeping with a silk pillowcase and a silk headband is preferred.
Sunshine and Swimming
Avoid sunscreens that contain Avobenzone or Octocrylene to avoid a peach/orange discoloration that is not guaranteed to be able to be removed.
Working out, saunas and the beach
When activities take place in damp or humid conditions such as work outs, steam rooms, saunas, beaches or lakes make sure the extensions are dried immediately after. Focus on the top of the weft
Shampooing and Styling
#1 rule to follow when brushing or combing out your extensions, ALWAYS hold your hair in place with one hand at the installation point and carefully brush it with the other hand from root to end. This process should always be done with extra care as to not harm the integrity of your hair or disturb the point of installation on your head.
Brush hair thoroughly multiple times a day. Use a brush your stylist recommends
Use stylist recommended oil or serum through ends once per day on dry hair
Use only sulfate free and paraben free, salon quality hair care products.
Use a deep conditioning mask once a week.
To avoid extra tangling, brush your hair out before shampooing, do not rub your ends together while washing and always use conditioner.
Only use purple shampoo on your extension hair that I have approved.
Gently squeeze out any excess water and wrap the length of your hair with a cotton towel. Continue to squeeze your hair until it is damp (no longer soaking wet).
Use a leave-in conditioner and a wet brush to gently comb out your hair while it's wet.
Blow dry your hair in sections
Finish styling with a flat iron or curling iron but don't forget to use a heat protectant to protect your extensions and natural hair, avoid using heat over 300 degrees.
Give yourself extra styling time when your extensions are newly installed, it will take some time to adjust to your new routine.
