PRODUCTS

INVEST IN PROFESSIONAL PRODUCTS THAT ARE IDEAL FOR EXTENSIONS. WHILE SOME PRODUCTS MAY BE POPULAR ON TIKTOK, JUST REMEMBER NOT ALL PROFESSIONAL GRADE PRODUCTS ARE GOOD FOR MAINTAINING THE HAIR HEALTH OF YOUR EXTENSIONS.

OUR BIGGEST TIP? AVOID PRODUCTS THAT CONTAIN SILICONE, SULFATES, LOTS OF PROTEIN, & ANYTHING OLAPLEX.

 

THESE INGREDIENTS CAN EITHER OVER PROTEINIZE, COAT, OR DRY OUT THE EXTENSIONS.

WITH THE DRIER WINTER MONTHS, HYDRATING AND MOISTURIZING PRODUCTS ARE ESSENTIAL. FOR OILS, WE SUGGEST A CLEAR COLORED OIL. TINTED OR COLORED OILS CAN DISCOLOR LIGHTER EXTENSIONS.

WE PERSONALLY USE & LOVE UNITE & FORMULA 18 FOR PRODUCTS, BUT KNOW THAT THERE ARE MANY MORE PRODUCTS THAT ARE GREAT. WE JUST SUGGEST ALWAYS CHECKING THE INGREDIENTS OF YOUR PRODUCTS TO ENSURE THAT YOUR EXTENSIONS ARE GETTING WHAT THEY NEED.

 

WASHING

THIS GOES HAND & HAND WITH USING GOOD PRODUCTS, BUT MAKE SURE YOU ARE SCRUBBING YOUR SCALP AND GETTING IN BETWEEN EACH ROW. SOFT WATER OR SHOWER HEAD FILTERS ARE RECOMMENDED AND DO HELP WITH THE LONGEVITY OF YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS.

 

BRUSHING

BRUSHING EXTENSIONS CAN BE TRICKY. HERE ARE OUR TIPS TO HELP AVOID RATTING, PUCKERING OF THE WEFTS AND HAIR LOSS.

IF FRESHLY WASHED, WE RECOMMEND A LEAVE IN SPRAY DETANGLER ON YOUR ENDS (WE LOVE UNITE'S 7 SECONDS DETANGLER, IT'S OUR #1 GO-TO BUT WE KNOW THER ARE MANY OTHER BRANDS THAT HAVE GREAT OPTIONS) LEAVE IN CONDITIONERS OFFER EXTRA MOISTURE AND PROTECTION.

START BRUSHING AT YOUR ENDS WITH AN EXTENSION SAFE BRUSH (THE WET BRUSH IS GREAT) & WORK YOUR WAY UP.

AVOID USING A COMB SINCE THE TEETH CAN GRAB THE WEFT MORE EASILY AND CAUSE PUCKERING WHICH CAN LEAD TO REPLACING YOUR HAIR MORE OFTEN.

ALWAYS AVOID BRUSHING THE BASE OF THE WEFT BECAUSE YOU DON'T WANT TO CATCH THE WEFT WITH THE TEETH OF YOUR BRUSH.

HOLD THE TOP OF YOUR WEFT TO ENSURE THAT YOU AREN'T YANKING AT YOUR WEFTS. WE LIKE TO SECTION OUR HAIR OFF BY ROWS TO MAKE SURE NO MATTING HAPPENS BETWEEN THE ROWS.

 

HAIR THAT IS CAUGHT BY A BRUSH IS INELIGIBLE FOR A REPLACEMENT.

 

DRYING/STYLING

NEVER GO TO BED WITH WET EXTENSIONS. I KNOW YOU MIGHT BE TIRED AFTER A LONG DAY, BUT IT IS CRUCIAL TO DRY THE BASE OF YOUR WEFTS. WHEN THEY ARE LEFT WET, THIS CAUSES THE STRINGS TO SWELL/LOOSEN, MAKING IT EASIER TO CATCH THE BASE OF YOUR WEFT WITH A BRUSH. THIS ULTIMATELY LEADS TO PUCKERING AT THE BASE OR SHEDDING.

USE A HEAT PROTECTANT EVERY TIME YOU STYLE TO AVOID A THERMAL HAIR CUT. WE'VE BEEN THERE, IT'S NOT FUN.

TURN DOWN YOUR IRONS. IF YOUR IRONS ARE TOO HOT, THEY CAN STRIP YOUR HAIR OF TONERS CAUSING A DISCOLORATION & UNFORTUNATELY... BRASS. TRY TO KEEP YOUR TOOL'S TEMPERATURE BELOW 320. YOUR HAIR WILL THANK YOU.

 

SLEEPING

WE ADVISE THAT YOU NEVER SLEEP WITH WET HAIR TO PREVENT MATTING AND TANGLING. SLEEPING IN A BRAID OR A LOOSE PONYTAIL WILL HELP PREVENT TANGLING. WE ALSO SUGGEST SLEEPING ON A SILK PILLOWCASE.

 

SWIMMING

IT'S OBVIOUSLY BEST TO AVOID CHLORINE & SALT WATER IF POSSIBLE, BUT IF YOU MUST TAKE THE PLUNGE, YOU WILL NEED TO TAKE EXTRA GOOD CARE OF YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS.

CHLORINE & SALT WATER ARE HARD ON ALL HAIR, EXTENSIONS & REAL, SO WE SUGGEST LATHERING YOUR HAIR IN CONDITIONER PRIOR TO SWIMMING TO PROTECT FROM DISCOLORATION.

WASH YOUR HAIR ASAP AFTER SWIMMING.

WHILE WE WANT YOU TO PROTECT YOUR BEAUTIFUL SKIN FROM THE SUN, MOST SUNSCREENS CONTAIN CHEMICALS THAT WILL DISCOLOR YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS. WE SUGGEST USING A MINERAL BASED SUNSCREEN (WE USE & LOVE BARE REPUBLIC'S SUNSCREEN BUT THERE ARE MANY MINERAL SUNSCREENS THAT ARE ALSO GREAT)

 

MOVE UPS/MAINTENANCE

EXTENSION MAINTENANCE/ MOVE UPS SHOULD BE SCHEDULED EVERY 6-9 WEEKS DEPENDING ON YOUR INSTALL METHOD OR HAIR GROWTH.

MAKE SURE TO SCHEDULE YOUR REGULAR MAINTENANCE APPOINTMENTS WITH YOUR STYLIST TO AVOID MATTING WITHIN YOUR GROWOUT.
