Extension Information
At Home Care
-
Wash + brush your hair to remove any unwanted tangles BEFORE showering.
-
Always use a sulfate-free shampoo to prolong the life of your color and hair. I love Oribe & Kerestase products.
-
Gently shampoo your hair and don't forget to cleanse in between your rows!
-
Remember not to scrub too aggressively.
-
Shampoo twice. This will also prolong the life of your clean hair.
-
Rinse well.
-
For conditioner, run it through your ends first and use the remainder that is left on your hands for your scalp.
-
Grab your wet brush in your shower and brush the conditioner through your hair. This will seal the cuticle and distribute the conditioner evenly through the extensions.
-
Rinse completely to make sure all of the product is out or matting can occur from product build up.
-
I recommend using a mask once a week to help strengthen your hair.
Styling
-
Once washed, ring out as much water as possible to help cut down on drying time. Grab your fav leave in conditioner and spritz that through your ends. I love Oribe Run Through.
-
Grab your wet brush and start working your way from the ends of your hair up.
-
I recommend sectioning your rows and brushing in between to make sure no matting occurs.
-
Once you have finished one section, drop the rest down out of your clip and brush the rest. Starting from the bottom and working your way up to the top of your weft.
-
Next spray a heat protector through and brush again to help prevent the hair from being damaged by heat. I love Kerestase Chroma Absolu Anti-Frizz Leave-In Treatment for Color-Treated Hair.
-
Rough dry your hair about 80% with your fingers or hands and If you want to smooth it out, grab a round brush and small sections for the last 20%. Remember to be gentle!
-
Sleep with your hair in a loose pony or braid to prevent tangling.
-
ALWAYS go to bed with DRY hair.
-
If using sunscreen ALWAYS use a mineral sunscreen that does not contain avobenzone in it or your hair WILL turn Orange.
