Hair extension aftercare

Section content Aftercare for micro ring weave extensions is crucial to maintain their quality and ensure they last as long as possible. Here's a comprehensive guide: Avoid washing your hair for the first 48 hours: Give the extensions time to settle and bond with your natural hair before washing. Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner: Sulfates can weaken the bonds of the extensions, so opt for gentle, sulfate-free products. Wash your hair gently: When washing your hair, be gentle around the bonds. Use a downward motion and avoid rubbing or scrubbing vigorously. Condition the mid-lengths to ends: Apply conditioner from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the roots and bonds to prevent slippage. Detangle carefully: Use a wide-tooth comb or a loop brush designed for extensions to detangle your hair gently, starting from the ends and working your way up. Avoid heat styling near the bonds: Direct heat can weaken the bonds, so keep heat styling tools away from the roots and bonds of the extensions. Sleep on a silk pillowcase: Silk or satin pillowcases reduce friction, preventing tangling and breakage while you sleep. Tie your hair up when sleeping or exercising: Secure your hair in a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling and minimize friction during physical activity or sleep. Avoid products containing alcohol: Alcohol-based products can dry out the extensions and cause them to become brittle. Opt for alcohol-free styling products. Schedule regular maintenance appointments: Micro ring weave extensions require maintenance every 6-8 weeks to push up the rings and ensure they remain secure and comfortable. Protect your hair when swimming: Before swimming, apply a leave-in conditioner or a protective oil to the lengths and ends of your hair to create a barrier against chlorine and saltwater. Be mindful of styling products: Avoid applying styling products directly to the roots or bonds of the extensions, as this can cause buildup and potentially weaken the bonds over time. Use oil! A light oil like Moroccan oil will keep your hair and extensions feeling amazing.


Colour aftercare

Use color-safe products: Shampoo and conditioner specifically formulated for colored hair can help preserve the vibrancy of your vivid colors. Wash with cool water: Hot water can strip color faster, so rinse your hair with cool water to help maintain the color intensity. Limit washing: Try to wash your hair less frequently to prevent color fading. Consider using dry shampoo between washes. Avoid harsh chemicals: Stay away from chlorine, saltwater, and harsh styling products that can fade or damage your color. Protect from UV exposure: Wear hats or use hair products with UV protection to shield your hair from the sun, which can cause color fading. Deep condition regularly: Moisturize your hair with deep conditioning treatments to keep it healthy and prevent dryness, which can cause color to fade. Avoid heat styling: Heat styling tools like flat irons and curling irons can accelerate color fading, so minimize their use or use a heat protectant spray. Touch up as needed: Schedule regular touch-up appointments with your stylist to refresh your color and keep it looking vibrant. By following these aftercare tips, you can help prolong the life of your vivid hair colors and keep them looking vibrant for longer.
