Human Hair Extension Care

When you follow these simple guidelines to maintain your extensions they will continue to look and feel natural for up to three months.

On a daily basis separate your extensions from your natural hair above and below, working your way down to the ends. This will avoid matting.
Brush, starting at the ends of the hair, holding each section firmly just above where brushing. Work your way up and when reaching the bonds, press your hand firmly down over them for support.

When washing, avoid circular motions which will cause the hair to tangle. Use a good quality moisturising shampoo, avoid using baby shampoo. Rinse thoroughly. Apply a moisturising conditioner, combing through with your fingers or a wide tooth comb. Pat dry, do not rub or twist the hair while wet. Power dry the scalp area without using excessive heat or tension. Allow the rest of the hair to dry naturally.

It is normal to loose up to 10 (most only loose 1 or 2) single strand extensions, this will not make a difference to the overall look of your style.

Use a heat protective spray before curling, straightening etc…
You may use any of your normal styling products with your extensions.
Perming or tinting is not recommended.
Your new hairstyle will feel different but within a few days it will feel perfectly natural.
Your extensions should be removed after three months. Your stylist can remove them or show you how to correctly remove them without damaging your own hair.
Your extensions may need to be tightened due to growing hair; your stylist will be pleased to do this for you.
