Aftercare Instructions for Hair Extension Appointments Washing: Wait 48 hours before washing your hair after extensions are applied. Use sulfate-free, extension-safe shampoos and conditioners. Gently wash your hair in a downward motion to avoid tangling. Drying: Pat hair dry with a towel—do not rub. Allow hair to air dry when possible. If using a blow dryer, use a low heat setting. Always make sure hair is 100% dry. Do not sleep with wet hair, this can cause matting and tangling. Brushing: Use a special extension brush or a wide-tooth comb. Hold the roots while brushing to avoid pulling on the extensions. Brush hair at least twice a day to prevent tangling. Sleeping: Tie hair in a loose braid or ponytail before bed. Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction. Styling: Avoid applying heat directly to the bonds or tapes. Use heat protectant sprays and avoid heavy oils or silicone-based products near the roots. Maintenance Appointments: Schedule maintenance every 6-8 weeks for adjustments and to keep your extensions looking their best. Swimming & Exercise: Tie hair up before swimming and rinse immediately after. Avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine or salt water. General Care: Do not use products containing alcohol or oil near the bonds. Contact your stylist if you notice any discomfort or excessive shedding
