Tips on Maintaining your Hair Extensions

Your Hair Extension Maintenance is highly important, this will guarantee that you hair looks amazing and lasts!

1. Please do not wash your hair for 48 hours after the application of extensions. This allows your hair extension bonds to fully dry, creating a real strong and durable attachment between the Keratin and your hair.

2. Always brush your hair prior to shampooing to avoid tangles.Brush your hair slowly and gently. You can use your fingers to press down on your extensions at the scalp for extra support

3. Please only use the products I recommend during your consultation. Using other products may cause your extensions to slide out.

4. When conditioning your hair please only do so from the middle of your hair to the ends. Never condition your roots, this will cause the bonds loosen and fall out.

5. Use of hair spray around the bonds is fine. For other products please ask!

6. Never use any oils or silicone based products around the bonds such as frizzezz, Paul Mitchell, super skinny or biosilk serum. They are great to use on the hair ends if you like but thats about it! The oil in these products loosens and destroys the bonds.

7. Never leave your hair wet in a towel for more than 10 minutes. Always dry your hair, you can use the blow dryer set on a low or medium heat setting or allow your hair to air dry loosely. Do not have your hair wet in a pony tail, this will prevent the hair from drying thoroughly.

8. Never go to bed with wet hair. And always have your hair pulled into a loose pony tail or braid while sleeping. Please use a scrunchy and not a rubber band, as rubber bands tend to get tangled while moving around in your sleep.

9. Use of a proper extension brush is needed.

10. All extensions are done with 100 percent human hair so the use of flat irons and curling irons are fine. Do not use any hot appliance on the bonds, stay at least 1-2 inches away from your roots with hot irons, they will cause your extension bonds to melt.

11. When brushing your hair please be gentle. Remember that your hair is attached to the extensions. If you pull too hard this may result in the loss of extensions and your natural hair. Do not play with the extensions. Do not pull pull on them, twist them, or pick at then in any way. You will cause them to slide out. As I mentioned earlier you should brush slowly and gently and and can use your fingers as support to the extensions by holding them tightly against your scalp while brushing.

12. Please do not leave any extensions in longer than the recommended time! It is best to take them out every 3-4 months and then freshly re-place them.

13. Do not color or bleach the extensions!

14. Please have your regrowth colored by a professional who is used to working with extensions. Not all licensed professionals work with extensions or know what they are doing. I personally have most of my clients go to an expert that I highly recommend.You can ask me for his contact info and I will gladly assist you in making your appointment with him

15. Daily shedding of some extension hair is normal and nothing to worry about.

16. Losing between 10-30 bonds per month is normal and nothing to worry about, save any pieces that may slide out, many times those pieces can be re-used..

17. Do NOT have your hair blow-dryed at a hair salon!! This only guarantees that your extensions will be pulled on and come out faster. I go over the instructions with you and teach you exactly how to style your hair so that your extensions last long and do not come out.
