How to care for your hair extensions

Once you have had your hair extensions fitted, it is important that you look after them, in order to get the most out of them, and prolong their life. It's not rocket science, and by following a few simple guidelines, you will be able to enjoy your hair extensions for longer. Below you will find some vital information which will help you to take care of your brand new bonded hair extensions. •Do not wash extensions any sooner than 24hours after application, as this will weaken the bonds. •Always brush extensions BEFORE washing to de-tangle. •Avoid getting a build of products ie(serum, conditioner) as this will cause the bonds to slip, so always wash your extensions gently but rinse well until the water becomes clear. •When using hair conditioner, Tie your extensions in a low pony tail and use the bobble as a guideline. Do not go higher than the bobble as this will cause the bonds to weaken. •Regularly seperate your bonds, as the hairs that would normally shed on a daily basis can get trapped in the extension bonds. •If the bonds are not seperated, matting can occur, this is were several bonds lock together. If you ignore this it can turn into a dreadlock ! •It is preferable to use hair products specifically designed for extensions. •When drying extensions always use a low setting to avoid over drying and heating up the bonds. •Always be careful with hair straightners as they can melt the bond if you get too close. Swimming When going swimming, use a deep conditioning conditioner as the chlorine dries extension hair . Wash as normal and try and leave the conditioner on for 5-10 minutes (avoiding bonds). NEVER PUT CONDITIONER OR ANYTHING OILY ON YOUR BONDS AS THIS WILL CAUSE THE BONDS TO WEAKEN AND YOUR NEW HAIR EXTENSIONS WILL FALL OUT !
