Maintenance Tips

Aftercare

To ensure that your extensions maintain their beautiful appearance, it is essential to use high-quality salon-grade hair care products that are sulfate-free.

Proper accessories and tools can also make a significant difference.

– Avoid washing your hair for 24-48 hours after your tape-in installation. Wefts can be washed immediately.

– Keep your extensions clean and untangled.

– Use a high-quality, sulfate-free hydrating shampoo and conditioner.

– Oil from mid-length to ends at least once a day, avoiding the root area.

– Never sleep with wet hair extensions. Always make sure the hair is dry and pulled up or braided to keep the hair from tangling at night

— Brush out any tangles in your hair BEFORE showering to avoid matting.

— Always use SULFATE FREE shampoo & conditioner.

— Gently scrub your scalp with sulfate free shampoo using the pads of your fingers and make sure to get in between your rows.

— Rinse thoroughly.

— Apply sulfate free conditioner to mid lengths and ends.

— We recommend using a weekly hair mask to keep the hair in optimal condition.

— To properly brush, we recommend sectioning your hair and exposing the bottom section first. Hold the Seam/bond with one hand gently brush starting at the bottom and working your way up.

— Never brush across the bonds of the extensions.

— Next, drop down the next section and repeat the same process brushing from the bottom and working your way up the extensions.

 

Now that you have extensions, your blow dry might take a bit longer!…

— First, get as much moisture out of your extensions using a towel.

— Next, get 80% of the moisture out of your extensions using only your hands and blow dryer. Make sure to point the blow-dryer down, towards your ends to help cut down on tangles.

— Once your hair is 80% dried, you can then use a round brush to style the extensions with minimal tension.

— We do not recommend air-drying your extensions. Air drying can lead to chaffing on the scalp. If you must, make sure to hit the seams of the wefts/tapes with the blow dryer to ensure the hair along the seam is dry. (Your scalp will thank you!)

— Always brush your hair before bed.

— We recommend sleeping with your hair in a loose braid or low-loose ponytail using a scrunchie.

— For extra care, sleep on a silk pillowcase.

— We do not recommend going in salt water or chlorine with hair extensions. Always wear your hair up when heading to the pool or ocean.

— SPF protection that is not mineral based can stain hair extensions. Particularly blonde hair extensions are susceptible to discoloration. Brunettes may notice a slight colour change too. We recommend only using a MINERAL BASED SUNSCREEN.

Any use of a sunscreen that is not mineral based has ingredients called Avobenzone & Octocrylene that will turn the extensions a “pinky-orange” colour.

— To help keep your hair extensions colour from fading, we recommend wearing a sunhat when you’re exposed to sunlight for long periods of time.
