Warning: After your hair extensions have been applied, do not wash your hair for 2-3 days to allow the bond to set fully.
Tie your hair back in a loose braid or plait before bed.
Brushing: When dry Hair extensions brush (tangle teezer) make sure the only brush you use on or near to the bond is the extensions brush, these are designed specifically to ensure the bonds do not get snagged.
When brushing it is important to hold the bonds to support them, these prevent excess tugging on the extensions.
When wet -Wide tooth comb – Use only a wide- tooth comb on the extensions when wet.
Washing: Your hair extensions should be washed 2-3 times per week. Before washing, detangle the hair and separate the bonds. When the extensions start growing down, the bonds need to be separated on the regular basis to prevent matting occurring at the roots. It is essential that you only use hair extensions, shampoo and conditioner hair care products when washing your hair. These products have been specifically designed to protect keratin bonds and Remy's hair. Using non-extensions hair care products can severely cut the lifespan of your extensions bonds and extensions hair, causing dryness and tangling.
Direction for washing:
Smooth the shampoo down the extensions hair – never rub as tangled will occur. Make sure to get among the bonds and scrub your scalp down. Condition from the mid – length to the extension hair. Do not apply conditioner to the bonds. Wash your hair up right (a shower is an idea).
Never tip your extensions to wash over a sink or batch, pat hair gently to remove excess water. Again do not rub. Be very careful when washing long hair extensions in a hairdressing basin as hair can gather at the bottom of the basin and tangle.
Drying:
When hair is damp, spray in protein spray or use professional oil/serum (Argan/Moroccan oil). These will help your hair extensions dry much faster. Dry your extensions bonds first using the cool setting on your dryer.
NEVER use the hot setting as this can “MELT” the bonds over a period of time.
Section your hair and blow/dry sections by sections using a round vent brush or extensions brush. Point at the hair drying to the floor (Downwards) to smooth the extensions hair. Never leave your hair extensions to dry naturally and never rough dry your hair.
Finish with a hair straightener or for a wavy style; you can use heated rollers, tongs, or any other heat tools. Keep heat away from your hair extensions bonds and use the heat defense spray at all times. Always use the heat protection spray before blow drying and applying heat. Use your recommended protein spray each morning to give your hair extensions a healthy glow.
How to care for extensions before sleeping:
Always make sure to dry your hair out thoroughly before you hit the bed for the night. So, if you’re planning on washing your hair, make sure you do it several hours before bedtime. You also need to tie up your hair gently or braid them before you sleep so that the hair does not tangle up.
NEVER go to bed with wet hair, always make sure your extensions and bonds are dry before sleeping. Take care of your human hair extensions as you would with your natural hair, and remember that as your natural hair, your extensions can be easily damaged by too much heat or abuse.
It is important that you take care of your extensions to make the most of them by using the right products.
