Caring for Your
Human Hair Extensions

the proper aftercare routine, the extensions will look beautiful until they are removed.

How to Cleanse &
Condition
 |
Other Stuff

|
- Wash every 3 days
(use dry powder shampoo in between if necessary)
Use professional products.
- Brush out tangles (only brush dry hair), then tie up
top half of hair
- Stand upright in shower and shampoo the nape
area, spread downwards gently
- Let down your remaining hair and shampoo the rest
- Rinse extra well
- Avoid conditioner at the roots (to prevent
slippage)
- Do a cool water rinse (to seal the cuticle and
make your hair shiny)
- Towel dry gently and use a leave in conditioner
- Use a deep treatment once a week
(avoid your roots)
- Use a gentle clarifying shampoo
once every 2 to 3 weeks to clear buildup. (This also lets conditioner
set in better.)
|
-
Heat is hair's enemy (always use a protective heat product to prevent
heat damage.)
-
At bedtime, braid hair into
two side braids to prevent tangling and matting at the root area.
(or form a bun on top of your head and secure with a soft scrunchie.)
-
A
satin pillow helps to keep curled styles fresh
the next day
-
Avoid salt water or chlorine water
- it is very drying and
can discolor blonde hair
Put conditioner in your hair and braid before
entering ocean.
-
Wear a swim cap in the pool. (I
know they're kind of ugly, but it will save your hair.)
-
Wear a hat in the sun
-
Don't brush hair
when wet.
-
Don't wash/style your hair with products that have alcohol in them
-
Don't wash your hair with your head upside down
-
Don't perm, relax or dye your hair extensions
|
We're all different in the
kinds of products we need, but professional products
really make a difference on how your hair looks and feels.
