Its been carefully applied using our revolutionary keratin bonding treatment, and now it’s time to enjoy you’re beautiful new mane of hair. If you want to get the most of your new hair for months to come, proper care is crucial. Follow these tips to keep your hair extensions in the best possible condition.

1. Be careful when you style. You’re bound to want to experiment with your longer hair, but be cautious when using hot irons and other styling tools on your extensions. Don’t let the heat come into contact with the bonds in your hair as it could damage them.
2. Brush gently. Brushing your extensions is important to keeping your hair looking glossy and fresh, but brushing too vigorously could lead to breakage. Try not to pull at the hair, and use a specialist brush designed for hair extensions to give your locks the attention they deserve.
3. Shampoo wisely. We recommend detangling your hair with conditioner or by brushing softly before you shampoo your hair. It’s important to shampoo with sulphate free products free of paraben’s and harsh chemicals. Shampoo gently rather than rubbing hard at your scalp as you may have done with your natural hair. Wash in separate sections to get each area of the extensions thoroughly clean, and be careful to avoid tangling as you go. Gently comb your hair after washing to detangle straight away, then style as you see fit.
4. Use a deep conditioner. Soft, manageable hair is easily achieved if you use a good quality deep conditioner. Investing in great hair products is always sensible – they’ll leave your hair looking shiny and beautiful while keeping you free from tangles. Try not to over-condition your hair though, as this can weigh down your extensions and cause them to get greasy more quickly after washing.
5. Take a styling break. Try not to leave your extensions wet, you will need to dry them off, especially where the bonds are.

Dry on cool. If you do feel compelled to blow dry and style your hair, or can’t face a chilly day with wet hair, opt for a cooler drying temperature to reduce the amount of heat applied to your hair. This is especially important around the bonds to your extensions – make sure you use a cool setting at the roots and then move up to a higher heat as you move down if you’re in a rush.
