Synthetic Hair Aftercare

The hard part is over and now you get to go home with your new hair!
It is up to you to keep the hair nice for the next 3 months.
I should not see you before then if proper care is taken.
Do NOT leave your extensions in longer than 3 months, if you do I waive all responsibility for what might happen to your hair.

Brushing
Your new hairstyle should be brushed daily. Use a padded, soft bristle
brush or extension loop brush.
Never use a balltip or hard plastic bristle brush on your extensions,
these brushes can pull and stretch your extensions.
Before brushing, apply a light mist of conditioning spray.
Always brush from the ends to the roots and hold your extensions at the seal to prevent pulling.

Washing
Avoid wetting or washing your extensions for 2-3 days after initial application.
Use a deep cleansing shampoo if your hair is fine or prone to oiliness.
Rinse thoroughly around the extension seals.
To best maintain curl in your extensions, shampoo and rinse in cool water.
After shampooing, apply conditioner in the palms of your hands and
distribute evenly from mid-shaft to ends.
Avoid applying any conditioner in the area around the extension seals. Rinse thoroughly.

Drying
To best maintain the wave or curl in your extensions allow your hair to air dry.
When using a blow dryer it is best to use the warm setting..
Use the cold setting on the dryer to set a blow dry style.
Avoid pulling your extensions with the brush when they are warm.
Make a couple of big braids, or a high ponytail/bun when going to sleep,
swim, or exercise (Please untangle the hair before doing this ).
Please NEVER SLEEP ON WET HAIR.
Make sure your hair is completely dried before going to bed.
Using a Satin pillowcase will keep your hair very nice and will help it last longer.

Styling
You should take care to protect the ends of your extensions (and your own
hair) when using heat to style your hair.
Hot rollers work well and will provide a long holding curl if you allow them to cool
completely before taking down. Use a curler one size smaller than the
finished curl size you desire. Velvet covered hot rollers will help protect
the ends of your hair.
DO NOT use heated styling tools with a metal surface.
High heat will permanently restructure and damage the synthetic hair so be careful!
Hot tubs and oven heat are big culprits of damaging the hair.

Styling Products
You may use any of your normal styling products with your extensions,
(hairsprays, mousse, and gels.) but keep in mind the hair will not absorb these products, just lay on top of the strands. Excessive use of products will make the hair heavy and dull.

If you are having any concerns at all with your hair, let me know as soon as possible before a small problem gets bigger.
DO NOT go to another salon for help, I cannot stress this enough.

Always remember, this hair is not YOUR hair. It will not react exactly as your own hair does.
Treat it nicely and with great care and you won’t have any problems.
