After Care
HELP & SUPPORT
Ideally extensions blend in most naturally if you hair can get into a stubby ponytail. Layered hair also blends better than a one length cut. I use the 1 gram strands so 50-75 will be enough for half a head and 125-150 for a full head. Please bear in mind if your client has thicker hair they may need more.
Although the hair is 100% human I advise not to colour, perm or tint the hair as this may cause damage to the hair and bonds. If the hair extensions are applied properly and the correct aftercare is used there should be no damage. It is advised that the extensions do not stay in for longer than 3 months and have a 6 weekly maintenance in between.
It is advisable not to have hair extensions when pregnant and up to a year after due to the extra shedding of the natural hair after pregnancy.
Always use a heat protector when using tongs or straighteners as heat can damage the hair extensions and the hair may not last as long.
It is advisable not to use dry shampoo as the ingredients in the
dry shampoo can cause the bonds to break down making the sticky and slide out.
The hair extension loop brush is the best to use with extensions as the Loop
brush de tangles hair quickly as is perfect for hair extensions as it is more gentle than other brushes. The loop brush will glide over the bonds without pulling, leaving you hair healthy.
Do not wash more than 3 times a week.
keep bonds separated to avoid matting at the roots. Shampoo hair in an upright position, never over or in the bath as the hair can tangle. Use a hair extension or mild shampoo and an intense conditioner. Balmain or Beauty works are designed for hair extensions. Use a good leave-in treatment/mask once a week to prevent hair from drying and Argan oil or serum is good for the ends. Although the quality of hair I use is exceptional, the hair is still dead and needs nourishment. Do not rub hair with a towel, squeeze water down. Do not get heat, wax, oil or serum near the bond as this will cause the bonds to slide out. When swimming it is best to use a cap as salt water can tangle extensions very badly. Hair extensions can also tangle with sweat, so extra care is needed on holidays. Also bear in mind the salt water,pool chemicals and heat can cause the keratin bonds to break down, this will make them sticky and can also lead to them sliding out.
Always use a heat protector when using tongs or straighteners as heat can damage the hair extensions and the hair may not last as long.
Never go to bed with wet hair, plait dry hair at the nape of the neck when sleeping.
