✨ Hair Extension Aftercare Instructions
Congratulations on your new hair extensions! To keep them looking beautiful, healthy, and lasting as long as possible, please follow these aftercare tips carefully.
---
🧼 Washing & Drying
Wait 48 hours before washing your hair after installation to allow bonds or tapes to set.
Use sulfate-free, alcohol-free, and extension-safe shampoo and conditioner.
Detangle gently with a wide-tooth comb or extension brush before washing.
Wash in a downward motion, avoiding scrubbing or circular motions that can tangle the hair.
Do not apply conditioner or oils directly to the roots or bonds — keep them from mid-length to ends.
Pat dry with a towel — avoid rubbing.
Blow-dry on low to medium heat, keeping heat away from bonds, tapes, or beads.

🪮 Brushing & Styling
Brush your hair 2–3 times daily with an extension-safe brush to prevent tangles.
Always hold the roots with one hand while brushing to reduce tension on the bonds.
Use heat protectant spray before styling with hot tools.
Avoid applying heat directly to the bonds (tapes, keratin, micro rings, etc.).
Do not sleep with wet hair — always dry thoroughly before bed.

🌙 Sleeping
Tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail before bed to prevent tangling.
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and protect your extensions.
---
🏖️ Swimming & Activities
Braid or tie your hair up before swimming.
Rinse hair immediately after swimming to remove chlorine or salt water.
Use a leave-in conditioner to protect from drying out.
Avoid prolonged exposure to sun, chlorine, or salt water as it may weaken bonds and dry the hair.
---
🔄 Maintenance & Removal
Schedule maintenance appointments every 6–8 weeks to check, reposition, or replace extensions as needed.
Never attempt to remove extensions yourself — always have them removed professionally to avoid damage.

💡 Extra Tips
Avoid heavy oils, serums, or products with alcohol near the attachment points.
Treat extensions as you would your own hair — gentle handling extends their lifespan.
Remember: Proper care = longer-lasting, natural-looking extensions ✨
