Every day it is essential that you separate the extensions at the root area with your fingers, making sure each one is hanging separately. This will prevent any matting from occurring at the roots where your own hair has naturally shed.
-
Plait the hair or tie loosely in a soft hair band before going to bed.
-
When wearing your hair up, be careful not to tie the hair too tight as this will cause excessive tension on your natural hair which could result in breakage.
-
Do not colour the extensions (like natural hair this will result in a deterioration of the condition of the hair). However, you may continue to have your roots retouched. Your colour technician simply needs to work around the joins of the extensions, taking care to avoid the bonds.
-
Do not pick or pull at the extension bonds, as this may result in them sliding out and may cause damage to your own hair.
-
Wear your hair up when swimming, keeping your hair out of the water as much as possible.
-
When on holiday, take particular care of your hair extensions by washing them regularly and keeping your hair out of the water as much as possible. Apply a leave in conditioner on wet hair before swimming in the sea, this will minimise the drying effect of the salt on the hair.
-
Avoid using saunas or steam rooms, as the intense heat and moisture will cause the bonds to soften.
