Top Tips For Extension Care:
Daily Care:
Apply a light oil to the mid-lengths and ends of your extensions daily. Too much product can cause unwanted build up.
Sleepy Time:
After brushing and thoroughly separating bonds, use a satin scrunchy or nylon elastic to secure hair up in a high, loose bun or pony. To prolong the life of your extensions, apply a lightweight serum to mids and ends before bed.
Products:
Wash extensions using a sulfate free shampoo recommended by me for your hair type. Using drugstore options will cause product build up and lessen the life of the extension hair. Avoid heavy conditioners.
Heat Styling:
If blow drying hair, always make sure you dry the roots/attachments first. Then, you can go through with a brush or styling tool to enhance your blowout. Never apply heat directly to bonds. This will cause them to come out prematurely.
-What To Avoid-
Sunscreen with Avobenzone. It will cause discoloration that cannot be reversed.
Tight ponytails that cause too much tension. If wearing a ponytail or updo style, keep tension at a minimum.
Heavy conditioners, leave in conditioners and oil at your roots.
Prolonging wash days. Shampoo hair no less than every 3-4 days. Always double cleanse.
Circular motions when shampooing-use downward strokes.
Any products that may cause slippage (heavy scalp conditioners, leave in conditioners, drug store products.)
Heat on points of attachments/bonds.
Chlorinated and salt water to prevent excessive tangling and dryness. Otherwise, wash hair soon after and follow with a deep conditioning treatment.
