Caring for your new hair...
Brushing
The tangle teezer provided is recommended, as this will ensure the hair does not snag or catch your extensions or natural hair, as other types of brushes might! Begin brushing at the ends of the hair, then move up to mid length and finally brush the root area. At night time gently tie your hair back in a loose braid on pony-tail; this will help prevent tangles and knots.
Cleansing
First brush your hair thoroughly, then soak with warm water, we would suggest that you do not turn the head upside down. Next apply shampoo, distribute your normal amount of shampoo at the root area; gently massage in small circles over the scalp area, this will cleanse both the natural hair and your extensions. There is no requirement to scrub the mid-length or ends, just cleanse in a downward motion (to avoid matting) Rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary. Pay particular attention to the bond area to ensure they are oil-free and endure thorough rinsing.
Conditioning
All hair needs conditioning whether natural or extensions. To condition we recommend you apply conditioner every time you wash your hair. Apply the conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends only, do NOT apply to scalp or bonds, gently massage, distributing the conditioner thoroughly. If you find the extensions are dry or prone to knotting, leave the conditioner on for longer before rinsing. Take care when applying styling products, such as heat-defence, serum etc, do NOT allow the products to touch the scalp or bonds.
Drying&Styling
You can leave the hair to dry naturally or blow-dry. Do NOT leave bonds wet or damp. If using a hair dryer we suggest that you use a low heat and a soft bristled brush to style. You can style your extensions as you would natural hair, i.e curling tongs, straightners etc. DO NOT sleep with wet or damp hair, ensure hair is fully dry before going to bed. Sleeping with wet/damp hair may cause matting to extensions and natural hair.
Hot hints
We recommend only using the afftercare products we supply, as they are specifically designed for your extensions. We can supply you with an additional aftercare pack should you run out:
Aftercare Pack £25
Elite aftercare pack £50
When rinsing hair, rinse for a few seconds extra as the extra volume created by extensions may mean it takes longer to rinse.
If you have an oily scalp wash hair regularly, as build up of natural oils could leave your bonds slipping or falling out, or shedding of extension hair from bond.
Treat your extensions with the same respect as your natural hair. Good aftercare and a regular maintenance programme with your extension stylist will keep your hair looking great for longer.
If you regularly swim or are planning to holiday whilst wearing extensions we recommend that when swimming you tie hair up, chemicals in the pool or salt levels in the sea may affect your extensions. We cannot guarantee the quality if adequate precautions are not taken.
