HAIR EXTENSIONS - AFTER CARE

1. Brush gently working from ends toward scalp before and after washing.


2. Use a gentle conditioning/moisturizing shampoo for dry-color treated hair.


3. Never use a volumizing shampoo. Volumizing shampoos raise the cuticle of hair and can cause tangling.


4. Wash gently in cool to warm water. Do no scrub roughly while washing. Gently comb through with fingers in a downward motion while washing and rinsing.


5. Do not apply conditioner to scalp or bonds. Too much conditioner or very oily hair can weaken the bonds.


6. Its best not to wash more than 3-4 times a week unless you have a very oily scalp. Over washing will dry the hair.


7. Softly towel dry by patting before blow drying.


8. Brush gently with wide tooth comb.


9. Brush 2-3 times a day. Brushing right up to the scalp will keep tangles from forming at the base of the extension.


10. When blow-drying hair, blow downward with hair, not up into / against hair flow. Dry with fingers then style with a curling iron or flat iron if needed. It is stressful to the hair to do a lot of brushing while blow-drying, causing extension loss.


11. Swimming: always wet hair with tap water, apply conditioner and braid hair before swimming to help avoid tangling. Avoid salt water, (the worst for extensions), and chlorine.


12. Braiding long extensions is recommended before bed.


13. Never go to bed with wet hair!
