➾ When cleaning:

  1. Use Aquasana water filter. Max contaminant removal. Products cannot counteract chlorine & hard water. Its awesome for your skin as well.

  3. Shampoo the roots & attachements with a cleansing shampoo.
  4. Condition your mid shaft & ends only.

➾ When drying:

  1. Use a large microfiber towel before blow drying to reduce heat & drying time. 
  2. Add heat protection & leave in conditioner. Use warm setting on dryer with your fingers to dry before heat styling.
  3. If you get a professional blow out, let them know to be gentle & check for loose extensions before leaving.

➾ Before Bed:

  1. Braid your hair before bed & use a satin pillowcase to keep your hair from getting roughed up.

➾ Before extensions & maintenance:

  1. Do all deep conditioning & treatments the week before any maintenances.
  2. Do all chemical services before any maintenances.
  3. Extensions usually are always last on the list of hair treatments. 
  4. K tip clients start washing your hair 2 weeks before with Head & Shoulders shampoo to start breaking dowm the keratin for a much easier removal.

➾ Products:

  1. Shop here for hair extensions.
  2. Shop this page for products via the links.

➾ Styling:

  1. Do not use your tools on the hottest setting all the time.

     

  2. Use heat protectant that protects up to 450 degrees like IGK Good Behavior.

     

➾ Additional:

  1. Tiny stray hair as it grows are normal, but the extensions should never tangle into each other.
  2. If any extensions fall out, wash with a cleansing shampoo & flat-iron them for your next visit.
  3. Never trim your extensions near your next maintenance service. If you trim before a move up, your extensions might end up too short.

➾ When going to the beach:

  1. If going to the beach, wear a swimcap.
  2. Rinse frequently to remove salt or chlorine.
  3. Wear soft braids to keep hair from tangling in the water.
  4. Shampoo & condition asap.
  5. Use Avobenze free sunscreen. Avobenzene is what turns extensions bright orange.

➾ Top reasons hair extensions slip out:

  1. Using a shampoo & products that have conditioner, moisture, silicones, oils that causes slip on the scalp or attachment area.
  2. Using any product on your scalp besides shampoo or dry shampoo.
