Hair extensions Aftercare
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
Aftercare Instructions for other Hair Appointments Wait Before Washing: If you received a color or chemical treatment, wait at least 48 hours before washing your hair to allow the treatment to set. Use Recommended Products: Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to maintain color and hair health. Ask your stylist for product recommendations tailored to your hair type and treatment. Heat Styling: Limit the use of hot tools (straighteners, curling irons) to prevent damage. Always use a heat protectant spray before styling. Brushing & Detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush, especially when hair is wet. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid breakage. Regular Trims: Schedule trims every 6-8 weeks to keep your hair healthy and prevent split ends. Protect Your Hair: Wear a hat or use UV-protection sprays when exposed to the sun.
