Treat your Hair Extensions BETTER then your own natural hair. Some of the Hair Extensions can fall out (maximum 10%) in the first few days. This is absolutely normal. Do NOT throw them out. Instead, collect each one so that they can be re-attached. Before the application of your Hair Extensions, make sure your hair is freshly washed on the day of the application, but do NOT use any conditioner or other hair care products. In regards to the type of shampoo, use a clarifying shampoo. This will remove all product build up and make sure your hair is squeaky clean and ready for your new Hair Extensions. Be aware that any hair care product build up will impair the duration of your Hair Extensions. Next, blow dry your hair STRAIGHT (do not style it). Come to your Hair Extension application appointment with your hair straight and completely dry. After the application of your Hair Extensions, do not wash your hair for, no less than, 48 hours. Use the aftercare hair products recommended during your Hair Extension consultation. Follow the MAINTENANCE PLAN given to you by your Hair Extension Stylist (myself). This will keep your Hair Extensions looking great and lasting as long as possible. Regular washing of your Hair Extensions should be done every 2 to 3 days. Never use any hair care products that contain sulfur in it, such as dandruff shampoos. Always brush your hair prior to shampooing and after shampooing to avoid tangles. When brushing your hair (with Hair Extensions), always be gentle, NEVER harsh. Use a soft bristle brush (a “Hair Extension brush” is highly recommended). First, make sure you hold your hair while brushing to avoid tension on the roots. Now, start brushing your hair at the ends and gently work your way up to the top (crown) of your head. Use caution when brushing your hair near the Hair Extension bonds. Brush your hair in a downward motion. Remember that your natural hair is attached to the Hair Extensions. If you pull too hard, this may result in the loss of some Hair Extensions as well as your own natural hair. Remember, only use the shampoos, conditioners, and other hair care products which were discussed and recommended by your Hair Extension Stylist (myself) during your Hair Extension consultation. For example, you should avoid hair care products that contain alcohol. Alcohol will make your hair dry. Always wash your hair with cool to warm water. NEVER use hot water. This will damage the Hair Extension bonds. Shampoo your hair in the shower and allow the water to flow through the Hair Extensions. You must also take care of your own natural hair that is underneath your Hair Extensions. When washing your hair, do so with your head leaning backwards. Also, do NOT use a scrubbing or rubbing motion. Gently use your fingers to wash your hair, do this in a downward motion. While washing your hair, NEVER pile it on top of your head. This will cause your hair to tangle. When using conditioner, only put it on the ends to the middle of your hair. Do not condition your scalp and NEVER condition the Hair Extension bonds, this can cause the Hair Extensions to loosen and slip. When rinsing your hair, rinse for a few seconds extra as the increased volume created by your Hair Extensions may mean it takes a little longer to rinse out the hair care products used. Make sure you rinse your hair thoroughly. If shampoo or conditioner is left in our hair, it will cause hair care product buildup. The use of a professional detangling spray is recommended. Only spray your hair lightly, 1 or 2 sprays at the most! Never use any oil or silicone based products around the Hair Extension bonds. Some examples of these products are Frizz Ezz, Paul Mitchell Super Skinny, Bio Silk Serum, etc. These types of products are great to use on the HAIR ENDS, but that is it! If you use hair spray or other styling products, avoid those containing alcohol. (Alcohol makes hair dry). Always dry your hair after it has been washed. It is best to dry your hair naturally, but hair styling tools, such as a blow dryer, can be used (it is recommended to set it on a low or medium heat setting). Just make sure not to use direct heat on the Hair Extension bonds. Prolonged exposure to heat may weaken the bonds. Dry your hair by patting it with a towel. NEVER rub you hair, this can cause damage to your Hair Extensions. The use of good “leave-in” hair conditioner is recommended. This will keep your hair from becoming overly dry and/or tangled, allowing your hair to remain soft and manageable. Be advised NOT to put conditioner on your Hair Extension bonds or scalp. Additionally, do NOT use too much conditioner on your hair period. Remember, the use of too much conditioner will result in hair care product build causing your hair feel too heavy. If your hair does begin to feel too heavy, you should wash your hair. Regular separating of your Hair Extensions will prevent tangles. Run your fingers through them on a regular basis. This will keep them healthy, tangle free, and in good condition. You should brush your hair regularly (remember, brush your hair gently and never harshly), at least 2 to 3 times a day. This will help to keep your hair from getting tangled. You must NOT pull, tug, or needlessly fiddle with your Hair Extensions; this can weaken the bonds and cause the Hair Extensions to loosen. NEVER go to sleep with wet hair, the reason for this is simple, this will cause your hair to tangle and become matted. At nighttime, before you lie down to go to sleep, gently tie your hair back in a loose braid or twist. This will help prevent tangles or knots. Only use a hair “Scrunchy” to hold your hair in place, never use a Rubber Band. Rubber Bands can tangle in the hair over night. NEVER color or bleach your Hair Extensions. Only a licensed Cosmetologist, who has been trained in Hair Extensions, such as myself, should be allowed to do this type of hair service. Make sure you have your hair regrowth (roots) touched up by a licensed Cosmetologist who has experience working with Hair Extensions. Not all licensed Cosmetologist work with Hair Extensions. Of course, I have been trained to do this and can perform this hair service for you. Do not attempt to remove or have someone else remove your Hair Extensions. The only one allowed to remove your Hair Extensions is a professionally licensed Cosmetologist who has been certified and trained in Hair Extensions, such as myself. Wear a cap (to protect your hair) when swimming or keep your hair out of the water. Chlorine and salt water can cause the hair to tangle and mat up. If you exercise, it is recommended that you wear your hair up or in a ponytail. The use of a Sauna is NOT recommended.
