Your hair is an investment - let's keep it beautiful
EXTENSION CARE
-
Wash your hair as needed using extension-safe shampoo and conditioner.
Brush thoroughly before washing.
Shampoo gently between and around the rows using your fingertips.
If you have two rows, bring a clip into the shower and section the hair so you can cleanse between and underneath each row.
Apply conditioner through the lengths and ends.
Rinse thoroughly, especially between the rows.
-
Never go to bed with wet extensions.
After washing:
Gently squeeze excess water from your hair.
Pat dry with a microfiber towel.
Blow dry your scalp and extension rows completely.
Finish drying the mid-lengths and ends.
Allowing moisture to sit around the attachment points can lead to unnecessary tangling and shorten the life of your extensions.
-
Brush your hair every morning, every evening, and before washing.
Always:
Support the extension row with one hand.
Begin brushing at the ends.
Work upward slowly.
Brush before bed.
Brush before showering.
Consistent brushing helps prevent tangling and matting.
-
Before going to sleep:
Brush your hair thoroughly.
Secure it in a loose braid or low ponytail.
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase whenever possible.
A hair bonnet is also a great way to protect your hair and extensions while you sleep.
These habits reduce friction and help preserve both your extensions and your natural hair.
-
Heat styling is perfectly fine when done carefully.
Always:
Use a professional heat protectant.
Keep heat tools moving.
Avoid excessive heat directly on the attachment points.
Use the lowest effective temperature whenever possible.
Healthy extensions begin with healthy styling habits.
-
Before swimming
Wet your hair thoroughly with clean water.
Apply a leave-in conditioner or serum to help create a barrier against salt water, chlorine, and minerals.
Avoid sunscreens containing avobenzone, which can discolor blonde extensions.
Choose a mineral sunscreen instead.
After swimming:
Rinse immediately.
Shampoo as soon as possible.
Brush thoroughly once dry.
Salt water and chlorine can dry extension hair, so proper aftercare is essential.
-
Regular maintenance keeps your extensions looking seamless and protects your natural hair.
Most guests return every 6–8 weeks for a move-up appointment, although your schedule may vary depending on your hair growth and extension method.
Staying on schedule helps maintain comfort, blending, and long-term hair health.
-
To help your extensions last as long as possible, avoid:
Sleeping with wet hair
Skipping maintenance appointments
Brushing aggressively
Excessive heat without protection
Pulling or tugging on the extensions
DIY removal
Sunscreens containing avobenzone, which can discolor blonde extensions.
Hairstyles that cause tension on the corners of the rows.
