How to care for your Extensions

How to Care for your bonded hair extensions. These are the rules I flowed when I had my Extensions bonded in.

• 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 !
