Hair Extension Care

Brushing

Before washing, thoroughly brush the hair, ideally with a board brush for extensions (ask our extensions specialist). You may also brush your hair after washing and spray it with detangler, brushing the ends first and working your way up to the top of the hair.

Washing

When washing, apply only a small amount of shampoo on the top of your head and gently massage. Don’t wad hair in a circular motion, as this will cause tangles. Don’t scrub. Most professional salon shampoos are self-cleansing, so distribute them evenly. Rinse thoroughly.

Drying

Never blow dry your hair on the highest setting. Excessive heat will dry out the hair and make it appear dull.

Caring

Never use products containing alcohol or ethanol, and when using special care products like styling products, conditioners, or treatment products containing silicones or oil, use only on mid-length or ends.

Ask one of our stylists for professional recommendations and the best-suited products for your style and needs.

Sleeping

Loosely tie your hair in a ponytail or loose braid before going to bed. Never go to bed with your hair wet or wrap your head in a towel for long periods of time.

Can I perm my hair, and can I use styling products?

You may perm your hair, but harsh chemicals could cause stress on the extensions. You could use most styling products. We recommend keeping emollient/oil-based products from where the extensions are attached. Oil could loosen and cause the extensions to slip. Products with high alcohol content may dry out the extensions.

Can extensions be styled as your own hair?

Yes! Hair extensions may be styled as you wish as they are 100% human hair.

Can I color my hair?

We suggest you consult our extensions specialist.
Our Hair Extensions may be lightened up to 9% H2O2; however, we do not recommend this to be done on tonalities from black to brown or from dark brown to blond. Subtle changes may be slightly modified, but the more drastic the colors, the more you will discover inconsistencies in the outcome.

How many possible color variations exist?

With over 50 preset colors, our trusted vendors offer a wide range of colors and if this is not enough, the strands may be custom colored for each individual client.

Why do our hair extensions’ colors last so long?

Hair extension color tends to last a lot longer because of the osmosis process. The pigment is removed from the hair without destroying it and before recoloring. Hair is not porous and this makes the color last longer.

Do you see the bonds?

The bonds are small and flat. The “Locs” Extension method is small, and being individuals, it is virtually undetectable. The Invisible/Tape Extensions method usually lays a bit flatter and closer to the scalp. Both methods are perceivable only when you pass your hands through your hair. Our extensions specialist will work closely with you to customize the perfect placement to achieve an ideal look while considering your lifestyle.

How do hair extensions respond to water activities?

Apply conditioner thoroughly to the extensions, then braid or secure the hair in a ponytail and you are free to enjoy your activities. Rinse hair out, shampoo, and condition as normal after water activities are complete. Please keep your hair away from chlorine.

How long do hair extensions last?

Our hair extensions will last you about one year of wear with proper recommended at home care and styling.

What is the required minimum length of the natural hair in order to be extension suitable?

Please request an in-person consultation so our hair extensions specialist can better customize your desired look. Ideally, starting at chin length is the shortest length for simple blending and everyday styling.
