Extension Maintenance

Sleeping

• Wear your hair in a low ponytail or loose braid at night to sleep

• Use Silk Pillow Cases or Silk Wrap to protect hair at night

Washing

• Use Sulfate-Free Shampoos

• Only condition from mid shafts to ends

• Recommended to wash every 3-4 days Dry hair with blow dryer after washing - recommended not to air dry extensions

• No HOT showers when washing the hair (Tapes)

• Do not use the blowdryer directly on Ktips & tapes

• Rough dry hair to 80-90% before going in with round brush or styling tool (ex. Revlon Brush)

• Use a mask once a week on midshaft to ends

• When using purple shampoo do not put shampoo directly on the hair but suds it in hands first and work it into the hair

  • Using it directly can cause extentions to be ashy or silver

Styling

• Brush your hair 2x a day with a boar bristle brush

• NEVER put conditioners, leave-ins or serums at the root. ONLY mid-shafts to ends to avoid slippage

• Dry shampoo the root of your extensions before you workout & after to absorb oils and to maintain extentions by avoiding slippage

Sun/Tanning

• Wet hair in the shower or with water spray bottle before going into chlorine/salt water

  • Will help create a barrier for your hair from the chemicals/chlorine and the dryness of saltwater

• You can also use a mix of leave-in conditioner and water

  • Spray the ends of your hair to help create a barrier against tanning/bronzing lotions and sunscreen

• When using tanning products make sure your hair is not touching anywhere the products may be (put hair in ponytail or bun)

• Use Zinc Oxide based sunscreen ONLY
