There are three keys to gorgeous hair extensions: quality products, skilled application, and attentive care. We take care of the first two in our salon, and we want to help you care for your extensions between appointments, so they stay fabulous.
Here are our four top care tips for hair extensions:
- Brush often and with care. Extensions can tangle easily, and technique is just as important as frequency when it comes to brushing. Brushing hair extensions the right way will make a big difference in their look and longevity. You need to brush gently to protect the bonds at the scalp, starting at the tips and working your way up.
- Wash extensions properly. Hair extensions come in a variety of textures and styles, so your stylist will advise you on how best to wash your extensions. A general rule of thumb is to only wash two to three times per week in lukewarm water with products approved by your stylist.
- Dry and style your hair extensions the right way. It is important to completely dry your extensions to preserve the quality of the bonding. Since extensions tend to hold water more than natural hair, allowing your hair to air dry some before blow drying will prevent excessive heat exposure to the extensions. When it comes to styling, most extensions respond well to heat tools, but you should consult with your stylist about which protective products are right for your extensions.
- Don’t neglect your appointments! Hair extensions will stay looking their best for much longer when you stick with your routine maintenance appointments. We will replace and reposition extensions as needed and ensure the bonds are secure so you can go on enjoying your extensions.
