Step2:

Gentle Wash Only

  • Use sulfate-free shampoo & Conditioner

  • Wash in lukewarm water

  • No scrubbing or flipping your head upside down!

  • Keep conditioner product away from the roots/bonds. Focus on softness, not slippage.

Keep your hair out the bath — it tangles faster than a bad breakup

Priority Care For Your Extensions

To Care For Hair Extensions

While swimming and on holiday,

prioritize protection from chlorine and saltwater, and maintain a regular hair care routine.

This includes using a swim cap, rinsing hair thoroughly after swimming, and applying protective products like leave-in conditioner. Also, consider styling hair in loose braids or buns to minimize tangles and sun exposure. 

Holiday Hair Care:
  • Sun protection: Protect your hair from UV rays by using a hat, scarf, or hair sunscreen. 
     
  • Hydration: Use a leave-in conditioner or a hair mask to keep your extensions moisturized and prevent dryness. 
     
  • Styling: Opt for loose braids or buns to minimize tangles and sun exposure. 
     
  • Deep cleansing: Use a clarifying shampoo occasionally to remove any build-up from products or environmental factors. 
     
  • Gentle detangling: Always detangle your hair when it's wet or damp, using a suitable brush. 
     
  • Avoid excessive heat: Limit the use of hot tools like hair dryers and straighteners, as they can dry out the extensions. 
     
  • Consider professional maintenance: If you have permanent extensions, be sure to schedule maintenance appointments with your stylist to address any potential issues.
