HELPFUL TIPS WHEN TAKING CARE OF

YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS

​

 

​

RECOMMENDED PRODUCTS
–   Moisturizing shampoo and conditioner such as Goldwell Dual Senses Color Extra Rich or Curly Twist
–   Satin pillow cases (most pillow cases are cotton and it is a very absorbent material so it can take away moisture from the extension hair and can cause breakage areas).

 

INGREDIENTS TO AVOID
–   Protein
–   Keratin
–   Silicone
–   Sulfates
–   Oil bases

​

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED FOR BEST RESULTS
–   Brush scalp area 2-3 times daily.
–   Shampoo the hair at least twice a week.
–   Preform a weekly deep conditioning treatment at home.
–   Never go to bed with the hair wet.
–   Always keep conditioners and products away from the attachment area to reduce slippage and product build up.
–   Wetness promotes matting. If you are someone that likes to wear the extensions natural & lets them air-dry, please keep this in mind as you may have to pay extra attention and brush more often.

 

***It is recommended that you wait a few days before shampooing the extension hair after a deep conditioning treatment to avoid stripping the hair of its moisture.

​

AT NIGHT

Braid the hair in a large loose braid at the nape of the neck before going to sleep.

Do not sleep with wet hair, this will cause tangling and will make it difficult to style the next morning.

​

STYLING THE HAIR

-You can use a ceramic straightening iron or a hair dryer with a bristle brush to smooth the hair.

-Other styling tools that can be used are: Heated Rollers, Steam Rollers, Curling Irons, Hot Air Curling Tongs and Setting Rollers.

-NEVER USE HOT STYLING EQUIPMENT THAT EXCEEDS 392°F.

-Temperatures above 392°F can damage the protein in the hair causing it to solidify and make the hair dry and unmanageable.

-Always keep hot styling tools moving through the hair and do not hold for too long in one place.

-I don’t recommend using straightening irons on wet hair.
