Hair Extension Aftercare Tips
1. Book and Attend Your Refit Appointments
Schedule and attend your refit appointments as advised. Delaying refits can cause unnecessary tension on your natural hair, potentially resulting in damage.
2. Use Suitable Products
Use products specifically designed for hair extensions. We offer recommended products for sale in the salon.
3. Limit Hair Washing
Try to wash your hair no more than twice a week. If needed, do a "top wash" by tying your extensions back and washing only the natural part of your hair over the bath.
4. Always Use Heat Protection
Apply heat protection products whenever you use heat styling tools to prevent damage to your extensions.
5. Oil, Oil, Oil
Extensions don't get natural oils from your scalp. Apply oil to maintain the extensions and prevent them from drying out and snapping.
6. Brush from Ends to Roots
Use a suitable extension brush and brush from the ends to the roots. Brush several times a day to prevent tangles.
7. Wash Hair Upright
Wash your hair in an upright position, never over the bath. Use lukewarm water and avoid vigorous massaging or twisting.
8. Always Dry Your Extensions
Dry your extensions completely after washing. While it may take a while, don't leave them to dry naturally.
9. Plaits or Pigtails for Sleeping
Braid or tie your extensions before sleeping to prevent tangles.
10. Avoid Chlorinated Water and Sun Exposure
Chlorinated water, hard water with high mineral content, sun exposure, and products with Avobenzone (found in some sunscreens) can cause fading and discolouration of your extensions.
