Caring For Your Extensions
aftercare
A few simple care habits will help keep your natural hair protected between appointments.
Extension Care
- Brush out any tangles BEFORE showering to avoid matting
- Double shampoo around the bonds, use a gentle "Z" motion-no circular scrubbing to prevent tangling.
- Conditioner is safe throughout the hair, including around the bonds.
- Double shampoo, including between the rows, and rinse thoroughly.
- Wash once a week with sulfate free product
- Gently squeeze shampoo and water through the hair- no scrubbing or rubbing
Cleanse
- Use a boar bristle brush or Tangle Teezer and brush gently from the ends upward, supporting your extensions near the attachment area.
K-TIPS
- Use your fingers to pull apart and separate each K-tip bond all the way to the scalp 2-3 times each week on dry hair to prevent tangling and matting at the root.
BEADED WEFTS
- Brush gently below the row. Do not brush directly over the weft seam.
- Make sure each row is completely dry after washing.
REPLICA SCALP
- Thoroughly dry the hair after washing.
- Use a heat protectant when using hot tools.
- No ponytails or tension for 72 hours.
Brush & Blowdry
- Brush thoroughly before bed.
- Sleep with your hair in a loose braid or low-loose ponytail with a soft scrunchie.
- A silk pillowcase or bonnet can help reduce friction and tangling
- NEVER GO TO BED WITH WET EXTENSIONS
Sleep
- Wet your hair with fresh water before swimming.
- Shampoo and condition your hair after swimming.
- Use mineral sunscreen, chemical sunscreens can cause orange discoloration in extension hair.
- Wear a sunhat during long periods of sun exposure to help protect your extensions from fading.
- REPLICA SCALP
- Keep hair out of the water when possible.
- Excessive exposure to chlorine or salt water can affect the longevity of the Replica system.
