ENSURE YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS CAN REACH THEIR MAXIMUM LIFE SPAN BY FOLLOWING THESE AFTERCARE TIPS: Washing Hair Extensions Brush your extensions before washing so that they do not become tangle. Using a soft bristle brush, gently start at the ends of your hair and work your way up. Always use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner - it will nourish and give the extensions a longer life. DO NOT apply conditioner to the areas where the extensions are attached. Use warm water (never hot) when washing your hair extensions and always tilt your head back - never tip your head forward. After washing, pat dry and squeeze gently (do not rub, massage or twist). To dry, blast the roots with a cool heat to dry before styling. No products should be used on extension bonds other than what has been recommended. For those using clip in hair extensions, you should only need to wash them after you have worn them around 4-6 times. Again, detangle before washing, soak in warm water letting the water run from the clip end down and apply a moisturising shampoo and conditioner. Gently run your fingers from the clip end downwards to clean the extensions. But DO NOT scrub or twist. Pat dry with a towel and gently detangle. Finally, store your clip on hair extensions with the clips closed to avoid tangling. Styling Hair Extensions If you style your hair a lot, either blow dry or with straighteners, use a heat protector spray sp that less damage is caused. Separate hair to avoid matting and detangle hair gently with extensions brush. Always blow dry your hair on a low setting. Do not use wax or oils near your extension bonds. Do not twist or play with the hair extension seals as they may loosen. It is advised not to tint, colour or perm the hair extensions as the hair is already processed. Do not attempt to remove your hair extensions yourself. TOP TIPS: While exercising, tie your hair up so that it prevents tangling. If you swim, always wear a swimming cap. Chlorine damages hair extensions just as it does to your own hair! A good tip is to coat your hair thoroughly with a mixture of water and conditioner if you go swimming, and wash thoroughly afterwards, applying a generous amount of conditioner. Also when sleeping, tie your hair in a loose plait to minimise tangling and matting. FAQ’s How long does the hair usually last? This depends on which hair extensions you have. If they are taken care of correctly, Remy hair can last on average between 5-7 months. It also depends on how frequently you wash your extensions and how often you style your hair. Why are my hair extensions becoming matted? Hair extensions can become matted easily if the incorrect products are used. When washing, use a shampoo and conditioner for dry hair that is moisturising and remember to tilt your head back, never forward and pat dry - do not rub or twist the extensions. When brushing extensions, start at the bottom and work your way up to the roots to avoid matting, using a brush specially designed for hair extensions. Brush your hair prior to washing to avoid any tangling. When sleeping, tie your hair in a loose plait as this will minimise tangling and matting overnight. Do not go to bed with wet or damp hair, ensure it is fully dried before sleeping as this is also a major cause or matting in hair extensions. My extensions feel dry, what can I do? It is essential to use the correct products for your hair extensions. Extensions must be washed using a moisturising shampoo and conditioner for dry hair. Try to let your extensions dry naturally as much as possible as over styling and blow drying can damage hair and cause it to become dry. Can I use a hairdryer, straightener, hot rollers, hot sticks, tongs, and other styling equipment? Yes, you can use all of the above with your Remy hair extensions. When styling, use products to protect the hair such as heat protectors as the more heat you use on the hair extensions, the shorter the life span of the hair. Can you colour hair extensions? Although 100% human Remy hair extensions CAN be coloured, we do not recommend that you do this as the quality of the hair can not be guaranteed after it has been coloured. Just like your own real hair, colouring the extensions can cause damaged and weakness, therefore it will shorten the life span of the extensions. If you choose to colour your extensions, we suggest testing it on a small area of the hair first to ensure the colour takes to the hair and does not cause damage. ALWAYS WASH EXTENSIONS THOROUGHLY BEFORE COLOURING OR BLEACHING. NEVER DIRECTLY APPLY COLOUR OR BLEACH TO BRAND NEW EXTENSIONS.
