Your aftercare is extremely important and it is your responsibility to follow it correctly. Only then can we achieve good results. If you do have any questions regarding aftercare I am always available to help!
IMMEDIATED AFTERCARE
• 48 hours after the extensions are installed, avoid washing your hair or the extensions.
• In the initial days following application, you could feel tense in your head this is common and will pass with time and wear.
KEY AFTERCARE
• If extensions become dry and damaged treat once to twice a week with a deep conditioner. Keep 2″ away from scalp.
• When blow-drying hair, blow downward with hair’s natural growth, not up into / against hair flow. Dry with fingers then style with a curling iron or flat iron if needed.
• Use a professional sulfate free shampoo for dry-color treated hair. NEVER USE A VOLUMIZING SHAMPOO! Volumizing shampoos raise the cuticle of hair and can cause tangling. We recomand using our Real couture Hair Extension Shampoo
• Wash hair gently in cool to warm water. Do no scrub roughly while washing. Gently comb through hair with fingers in a downward motion while washing and rinsing.
• Have extensions checked every 4-6 weeks by stylist.
Cleaning Your Extension
• It is best not to wash more than 2-3 times a week unless you have a very oily scalp. Over washing will dry the hair. Use a dry shampoo in between shampoos.
• Softly towel dry by patting with a towel before blow drying. It is important to dry the roots, but you don’t have to completely dry extensions unless you are going to bed.
• Do not apply conditioner to scalp or bonds. Too much conditioner or very oily hair can weaken the keratin bonds or tape.
• Use a spray leave-in and/or shine drops on your extensions after shampooing while still damp, (avoiding the bonds). Apply to ends daily if needed.
• When 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.
Brushing Your Extension
• Brush hair gently working from ends toward scalp before and after washing.
• Braiding long extensions is recommended before bed.
Sleeping With Extension
• When you’re sleeping, your hair should always be pulled back at the nape of your neck. To avoid the hair becoming tangled, pull it back into a loose ponytail or braid. Avoid sleeping with your hair in a high bun or ponytail as this might lead to discomfort and strain in the area.
•Before going to bed, make sure your hair is totally dry, especially at the roots, to avoid matting or tangles.
