MAINTENANCE
We Are In This Together!
48 Hours have passed!! welcome to your new Hair Journey, I've put together a guide to help you take care of your new look come back every time you need to remember the Do's and Don'ts, also my favorite Tools and Products I swear by!!
-
Do not shampoo for two days (48 hours). Always shampoo your hair with your head back and not tilted forward. Never dry with a scrubbing action, instead wrap with a towel to absorb water. Always dry bonds to prevent bond breakdown.
-
Use Sulfate Free Shampoo Do not use conditioner in the roots ( Scalp) avoid conditioner treatments directly om the bonds or any styling product that's oil based.
-
Brush your hair three times a day, with recommended oval brush (soft bristle paddle brush, Mason Pearson, Creative, Great Lengths or Harry Josh) Starting at the nape and working up, brush row by row, scalp to ends. If you have curly hair, brush once in the morning and once at night. Use a wide toothed comb to gently remove tangles from mid-shaft to ends. Do not use a comb near the scalp area or the keratin bonds.
-
Always put your hair into a loose ponytail or very loose braid while sleeping or during any activity that has your blowing in the wind.
-
Use a silk Pillowcase to avoid tangles due to Friction or a Silk Bonnette.
-
All the above is extremely important to prevent tangling or matting.
-
Do Not style your hair in a tight bun or high ponytails. No ponytails put up and left wet.
-
Curling irons, flat irons and hot rollers may be used, but must be kept an adequate distance from the hair extension bond, approximately 1 1⁄2 inches from the attachment site. Or you can hold the attachment site between 2 fingers and the thumb then apply the hot tool below them. DO NOT use a hot blow dryer on the bond area, medium heat only.
-
Leaving your hair damp for extended periods of time can weaken the bond. When swimming and using saunas it is recommended that you apply leave in conditioner mid ends and put it in a braid . To minimize the lighter hair colors in the hair extensions from absorbing sea salt or pool chemicals wet the hair thoroughly then apply a leave in conditioner before you get in the water. When finished shampoo, and blow dry as soon as
possible.
-
Some extension loss is normal and to be expected. Average Client hair loss is 50-100 hairs a day. A full head application covers approximately one third of the head. You can expect to see a small quantity of naturally released hairs trapped in the attachments after some time. This is normal and should not be interpreted as hairs pulled out of the scalp by the extensions themselves. Daily brushing close to the scalp and finger separation of the applied strand will avoid matting in this area. Pull trapped hairs back toward scalp to loosen before separating strands.
