Ultimate Hair Extensions Care Guide

Proper care is essential to keep your hair extensions looking smooth, shiny, and long-lasting. Whether you have clip-ins, tape-ins, sew-ins, or keratin bond extensions, follow these tips to maintain their quality.

1. Washing Your Extensions

• Frequency: Wash every 15-20 wears (or 1-2 weeks for permanent extensions) to prevent drying out.
• Shampoo: Use a sulfate-free, moisturising shampoo to avoid stripping natural oils.
• Conditioner: Apply a hydrating conditioner from mid-length to ends, avoiding the roots (especially for tape-ins or bonds).
• Water Temperature: Use lukewarm water—hot water can weaken bonds and cause tangling.
• Technique: Gently cleanse in a downward motion—never scrub or twist.

2. Drying & Styling

• Towel Drying: Pat dry with a microfiber towel—avoid rubbing to prevent frizz.
• Blow-Drying: Use a heat protectant spray and dry on low-medium heat, brushing gently with a wide-tooth comb.
• Air Drying: If possible, let them air dry to minimise heat damage.
• Styling Tools: Limit heat styling and always apply heat protectant.

3. Brushing & Detangling

• Brush Type: Use a boar bristle brush or wide-tooth comb (for curly extensions).
• Technique: Start from the ends and work your way up to prevent pulling.
• Frequency: Brush 2-3 times daily to prevent tangles (especially before bed).

4. Sleeping with Extensions

• Braids or Loose Ponytail: Secure hair in a low braid or loose bun to reduce friction.
• Silk/Satin Pillowcase: Prevents tangling and breakage.

5. Protecting Extensions Daily

• Avoid Chlorine & Saltwater: Wear a swim cap or coat hair with conditioner before swimming.
• Oil & Product Buildup: Avoid heavy oils near bonds/tape to prevent slippage.
• Tie Up Hair: When exercising, keep hair secured in a loose braid or ponytail.

6. Maintenance for Permanent Extensions

• Tape-Ins: Get them moved up every 6-8 weeks.
• Fusion/Keratin Bonds: Maintenance every 10-12 weeks.
• Sew-Ins: Re-tighten every 6-8 weeks.
• Nano and Micro Bead: Get them moved up every 6-8 weeks.

7. Storing Clip-In Extensions

• Clean Before Storing: Wash and dry completely.
• Keep in a Cool, Dry Place: Store in a satin pouch or storage bag to prevent dust and tangles.

Final Tips:

• Avoid alcohol-based products (dries out hair).
• Schedule regular trims (every 2-3 months) to prevent split ends.
• If bonds feel loose, visit your stylist—don't try to remove them yourself.

By following these steps, your extensions will stay soft, tangle-free, and beautiful for months!

Dying Hair Extensions Disclaimer.

Results may vary depending on the brand, material, and manufacturing method of the hair extensions, as well as the type of dye or toner used. Because chemical reactions cannot be predicted or controlled, we cannot be held responsible for any issues that may arise during or after the dyeing or toning process.

Please note that any form of colouring, dyeing, toning, purple shampooing, or chemically altering the hair extensions will immediately void all warranties. Our warranty only applies to hair that remains in its original, unaltered condition.

To ensure you are satisfied with the outcome, we strongly recommend testing your chosen dye or toner on a small strand before proceeding. Dyeing or toning can significantly change the hair, potentially causing increased dryness, shedding, tangling, matting, and breakage. Our extensions have already undergone a controlled colouring process to achieve their final shade, and additional chemical treatment may compromise the texture, quality, and longevity of the product.

Warranty Disclaimer – Professional Installation Required for Coverage

Please be aware that our warranty only covers hair extensions that have been installed by a professional hairdresser. Any hair extensions that have not been installed by a qualified professional will not be eligible for warranty coverage. This is to ensure the highest standards of quality and care for your hair extensions. We strongly recommend seeking the services of an experienced hairdresser for proper installation and to maintain the integrity of your hair extensions. A certificate or diploma in training will be required for any warranty claim.
