How to maintain your hair extensions

Swimming

We do NOT reccomend swiming with extensions

• If you decide to swim (get your hair wet in Chlorine or saltwater):

  • Spray Leave-in conditioner all over your extensions and comb through to act as a barrier.​

  • Shampoo and Condition your hair/extensions as soon as your done swimming.

• Risks:​

  • Discoloration (Peach/Orange) of your extensions​

  • Tangling/matting

  • Excessive dryness

​

Sunscreen & Self-Tanner

Sunscreen and self-tanner can discolor your extensions.

• Avoid suncreen getting in/touching your extensions

• Avoid sunscreen with Avobenzone as an ingredient

• Put up hair when applying self-tanner

​

Purple Shampoo

Please see your stylist for toning preferences

• Do not put purple shampoo directly on the extensions

• Certain purple shampoos will stain the extensions purple

• Purple shampoo can cause the extensions to dry out

​

Protein/ Bond-Building Enriched Products

• Avoid using bond-building or protein products on your extensions

  • Overproduction of protein can cause breakage and dryness to the hair (Olaplex)​

​​​

Brushing

• Brush your hair at least twice a day (Morning and before bed)

• Section hair off and brush inbetween the extensions, excessive matting or tangling will occur if the hair isnt brushed inbetween

• Brush well before wetting your hair with an extension safe-brush

• Brush your hair starting at the ends, working your way to the root

 

Washing

• Wash your hair 2-3 times a week (Use dry-shampoo inbetween washes)

• Make sure you are using a shampoo and conditioner reccomended by your stylist

• When washing your extensions make sure to get inbetween the extensions, product left in hair will cause damage to extensions

• NEVER go to sleep with your hair wet

​

Styling/ Blowdrying

•  Apply a heat protectant spray to the ends of your extensions

• Get hair 80% dry before round brushing

• Do NOT go above 350 degrees with any heat-styling tool

• Put hair oil on the ends of your extensions to keep them from getting dry and shedding

• Put hair in a low ponytail or braid before sleeping

• Use a silk pillow case

​

Activities

• Before any physical activity (pool, beach, gym, biking, etc.) secure hair well in a braid, ponytail, or under a cap. Make sure to wash hair very well soon after to remove any chemicals, sweat, or residue. 

​

We do not garuntee any extensions if the rules above are disregarded. Extensions are not your natural hair, special care and attention needs to be taken when caring for your hair extensions.
