Brush out extensions with a Wet Brush before getting into the shower. This helps prevent
deep tangles and matting. Use a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to prolong your hair color and the extension color as well. Shampoo gently between the row, no need for vigorous scrubbing. Once a week use a deep conditioner recommended by your stylist for 10 minutes in the shower to ensure longevity of the hair extensions. Use a wide-tooth comb to comb through your conditioner. Use a leave-in conditioner right
after your shower and before brushing out your hair and extensions with a Wet Brush. When brushing wet hair, start from your ends and work your way up to the scalp. Hold the hair in one hand (pinched like a ponytail) and brush down. Support the extensions at the top when brushing near the scalp.

Rough dry your hair 90% of the way (meaning no tugging at the extensions with a round brush or comb, just use your hands/fingers). This applies to Dry Bars as well. It is important to
let whoever styles your hair know to NOT round brush your hair from the start to finish
of your blow dry. You can use a round brush and a small amount of tension to smooth your hair and the extension hair, the last few minutes of your blow dry. Do NOT sleep on wet hair.
If curling your extensions, run the extension hair through the curling iron to smooth the hair once or twice, before placing curls. This will give your extension a more polished look, close the cuticle, and prolong the extension hair. ALWAYS use
a heat protectant prior to heat styling and keep all styling tools below 320 degrees. Do NOT get sunscreen on the extension hair. It could cause the extensions orange.

Brush the extension hair out and then place in
a loose rope braid or top bun for soft waves and to keep your extensions tangle free. Satin pillow cases are recommended.
We advise to avoid hair pulling or tugging.
This can cause damage to both your natural hair and the extensions.
-
When in the water your hair should be in two braids or a secure bun at all times. For added protection from salt, chlorine and sun, wet your natural hair and extensions, and apply conditioner before braiding your hair or putting it in a bun. This will help minimize tangling or matting and prolong the life of your extensions.

Wind can cause excessive tangling and matting to both your natural hair and extensions. Protect your hair by securing it with braids, a bun or covered fully with a satin scarf or sports band.

If you notice any excess tangling, or hair shedding, please contact your stylist, as these are quick
fixes when addressed right away. Carefully put in high ponytail, bun or low ponytail, be mindful of pulling on beads. You can live a normal and active lifestyle with hair extensions. Just treat them with extra gentleness to keep them looking their best, the longest.
