Hair Extension Aftercare Information

• To avoid excess knotting with your extensions, hair should be brushed and plaited before bed.
• Use a soft pillow with silk pillow case to get the most out of your extensions. This avoids the extensions from digging into the scalp, the silk also helps with hair breakage.
• Never go to bed with hair extensions wet or damp, mould can grow in your hair extensions.
• Choose your hair brush wisely, and extension specialist brushes are the best option.
• Do not exert excessive tension when brushing your extensions.
• To ensure hair extension quality and appearance is maintained, regular re-fit appointments are required (every 6-8 weeks).
• The hair is high quality, all extensions can be brushed, curled, straightened, blow dried, just as you would with natural hair, however no heated appliances should come into contact with the bonds or rings as this can weaken or melt them.
• For the first two weeks, hair should not be worn up too tightly as this can cause discomfort and breakage of bonds.
• If using a sun-bed, hair should be wrapped in a towel.
• Avoid chlorine and salt water coming into direct contact with the hair extensions.
• If spending long periods in the sun, use heat protection on hair and apply conditioner and extension oil regularly.
• Be careful not to get tanning oil on the hair extensions as it can alter the shade.

• Hair must be brushed before washing.
• When washing the hair the head must be tilted backwards. Never wash hair over a bath or sink with your head facing down.
• Extension specialist shampoo and conditioner are advised.
• Zig zag motion rather than circular is advised when washing to avoid tangles.
• The hair should be squeezed gently after shampooing to remove excess moisture, and conditioner applied only to the ends, never the roots.
• Extension oil should be applied from mid to ends, never the roots.
