Hair Extensions Aftercare
Follow our top hair extensions aftercare tips to keep your extensions looking great for longer!
Washing Hair Extensions
- Brush your extensions before washing so that they do not become tangled. Using a soft bristle brush, gently start at the ends of your hair and work your way up.
- Always use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner – it will nourish and give the extensions a longer life.
- Try not to wash the extension hair more than twice a week.
- Do not apply conditioner to the areas where the extensions are attached.
- Use warm water (never hot) when washing your hair extensions and always tilt your head back – never tip your head forward.
- After washing, pat dry and squeeze gently (do not rub, massage or twist).
- To dry, blast the roots with a cool heat to dry bonds before styling.
Styling Hair Extensions
- If you style your hair a lot, either blow drying or with straighteners, use a heat protector spray so that less damage is caused.
- Separate hair to avoid matting and detangle hair gently with extension brush.
- Always blow dry your hair on a low setting.
- Avoid using straighteners near the extension bonds.
- Do not use wax or oils near your hair extension bonds.
- Do not twist or play with the hair extension bond as they may loosen.
- It is advised not to tint, colour or perm the hair extensions as the hair is already processed.
- Do not attempt to remove your hair extensions yourself.
TOP TIP: While exercising, tie your hair up so that it prevents tangling. If you swim, always wear a swimming cap. Chlorine damages hair extensions just as it does to your own hair! A good tip is to coat your hair thoroughly with a mixture of water and conditioner if you go swimming, and wash thoroughly afterwards, applying a generous amount of conditioner. Also, when sleeping tie your hair in a loose plait to minimise tangling and matting.
