Follow our expert tips to keep your hair extensions looking their best.

 

Washing Your Hair

• Water temperature: Start with hot water to open the cuticle, shampoo twice (first for buildup, second for a deep scalp cleanse), then switch to warm water to rinse.

​

• Where to apply:

  • Shampoo only at the scalp—let the lather run through the lengths.

  • Conditioner from mid-shaft to ends; avoid roots.

  • Clarifying: Use a clarifying shampoo once weekly if you have oily hair or notice stickiness.

​

Tip: Never wash upside-down, and avoid washing your hair, or sweating for 72 hours after application.

​

Temperature & Climate Changes
Sudden climate shifts can trigger excess oil production. If your scalp feels oily or sticky, clarify once a week to remove buildup.

 

Blonde Clients

• Purple shampoo once weekly—dilute with regular shampoo to avoid over-toning extensions.

• We love Fanola No Yellow and No Orange for darker blondes/light browns.

 

Drying Your Extensions

1. Towel-dry your hair, then air-dry for 5–10 minutes before blow-drying.

2. Use a high heat setting, but keep the dryer moving quickly. Avoid staying in one area to prevent slippage.

​

Brushing & Styling

• Brush daily; avoid tugging on the roots. Always use a heat protectant before styling your hair.

​

Sleeping​

• Style hair in a loose braid or low ponytail—always dry before bed.

 

Swimming & Exercise

• Before swimming: Apply leave-in conditioner to mid-lengths/ends and secure hair in a ponytail.

• Afterward: Rinse promptly.

• After exercising, ensure tapes or beads are completely dry at the scalp to prevent matting.

 

Itchy Scalp
Common in the first few days—usually harmless.

• Reasons: scalp adjustment to weight, product buildup, or sweat.

• Solutions: follow the wash routine, clarify weekly, and wash more often if you sweat heavily.

​

• Reinstall tape-ins or nano beads every 6 weeks if you have oily hair.

• Touch-up ($75): Includes up to 5 sandwiches and 20 strands for nano beads.

Removal Facts

• Extensions won’t make your hair fall out—the removal process releases hairs that have naturally shed.

 

Colour Fading & Post-Removal Feel

• Fading is gradual and normal, just like real hair.

• The thin feeling after removal is your natural hair returning; give yourself a few weeks to readjust.
