Hair Extensions Care
TIPS FOR DAILY CARE OF YOUR EXTENSIONS
GENERALLY
After applying your hair extensions, the hair must not be washed or brushed vigorously for at least 24 hours so that the connection points harden. The hair must never be combed or brushed when wet, as this could cause hair breakage. Before combing or brushing the hair, it should ideally be allowed to dry (especially the hair itself and the bonds). It is absolutely essential to avoid pulling or tugging on wet hair. It is recommended that you sort the strands with your fingers at least three times a day.
HAIR WASHING
Before washing your hair, brush it carefully with a special extensions brush and loosen any knots with your fingers.
Hair should never be washed upside down. It is best to wash it in the shower or at the hairdresser's backwash basin. If you wash your hair upside down, it can become matted.
Distribute the required amount of shampoo in your hands and gently knead it into your hair. Avoid unnecessary rubbing and scrubbing, especially at the roots and at the bonds.
Use a hair mask after every hair wash. Simply distribute the treatment in your hands and apply to the ends and lengths. Avoid the bonds . The hair treatment should be left on for at least 10 minutes, then rinsed thoroughly.
Hair extensions should not be washed more than three times a week.
DRYING
Do not rub your hair after washing, but gently knead it dry with a towel. Only brush your hair once it has dried. The conditioner and a spray treatment can be applied before or after drying. Blow-dry your hair until it is almost dry and only then style it as desired. If you want to air-dry your hair, please blow-dry the bonds anyway.
BRUSHING
The hair should be brushed several times a day with the special extension hairbrush (ideally in the morning and evening). Always brush the tips first, then the lengths and finally the roots, i.e. always from bottom to top, holding the bonds with one hand.
STYLING
Human hair extensions allow you to style them almost the same way as your own hair. They can be styled, scrunched, laid, blow-dried, curled or straightened as desired.
When styling with heat-emitting devices ( hair dryer, straightening iron, hot rollers, etc. ), you should be very careful at the bonds. If the heat is too high, the strands can come loose or individual hairs can fall out of the strand.
To prepare, you should always use a heat protection cream or spray to protect your hair from drying out due to the heat.
Please remember that straightening your hair can lead to split ends and breakage. If possible, this should not be done too often and only at a maximum temperature of 180° C.
SLEEPING
Never go to sleep with wet hair. Blow-dry your hair, never let it air-dry. Brush the hair extensions well before going to sleep and either braid them loosely or tie them loosely to avoid tangling.
LEISURE ACTIVITIES
Tie hair extensions into a ponytail before swimming in chlorinated or salt water or before visiting the sauna. Swimming with your hair down should be avoided at all costs.
Never expose the bonds to long periods of direct sunlight. If exposed to sunlight for long periods, a heat protection spray is recommended.
When using sunscreen, self-tanner, tanning spray, etc., it is important to ensure that the extensions do not come into contact with them, as this can lead to discolouration of the hair. Tie the extensions up before use.
In particular, it is important to ensure that the products do not contain the ingredient Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane (BMDBM), also known as Avobenzone.
Use a moisturising hair treatment and hair oil after exposure to salt or chlorine water. This will protect your hair extensions from drying out and will give them shine and suppleness. Also, before doing sports (fitness, jogging, cycling, etc.), tie your hair into a ponytail or bun.
COLOURING/BLEACHING/PERMING
Chemical products can damage the bonds and the hair structure . We therefore advise against chemically treating the extensions. If you still want to dye or bleach your hair extensions, please use oxidants that contain a maximum of 6% H²O². After dyeing, repairing hair treatments should be used regularly. Since a lot can go wrong when toning, dyeing and perming, any post-treatment of the extensions will void all warranty claims.
When applying hair extensions, you should never use products that contain fruit acids (e.g. Fructis). Fruit acids can dissolve the bonds.
