AFTER CARE

1. Cleansing & Hydration
- Wash hair no more than 2–3 times per week to maintain moisture balance.

- Opt for professional-grade, sulfate-free, and alcohol-free hair care products to protect the integrity of the extensions.

- Apply shampoo at the roots and gently distribute downward—avoid aggressive scrubbing.

- Use a hydrating mask or deep conditioner weekly to maintain softness and prevent dryness.

- Rinse thoroughly with cool or lukewarm water to keep the cuticle sealed and smooth.

- Avoid hard water exposure whenever possible—if necessary, install a water filter to prevent mineral buildup.

- Avoid applying conditioner to the root area, as it can cause slippage.

2. Brushing & Detangling
- Always detangle before and after washing to prevent unnecessary stress on the extensions.

- Use a boar bristle brush or a brush specifically designed for hair extensions.

- Support the root area with one hand while brushing to prevent tension on the natural hair.

- Never brush wet hair aggressively—allow it to air-dry slightly before detangling.

3. Drying & Heat Styling
- Allow hair to air-dry partially before using a blow dryer to minimise heat exposure.

- Use only professional-grade heat styling tools with adjustable temperature settings.

- Apply heat protectant liberally before using any thermal tools.

- Keep styling tools at or below 160°C to prevent unnecessary dryness or weakening of the extensions.

- Avoid placing heat directly on bonded areas, as this may weaken or dissolve the adhesive.

- Use minimal styling products—excess product buildup can cause the extensions to appear dull.

4. Sleeping & Daily Protection
- Braid or tie hair in a loose silk scrunchie before sleeping to prevent tangling.

- Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and keep hair smooth.

- Avoid pulling or tension on the extensions throughout the day.


5. Swimming & Environmental Factors

- Avoid chlorine and saltwater whenever possible, as they can dry out and weaken extensions.

- If swimming, apply a leave-in conditioner before hand.

- Rinse hair immediately after swimming to remove any residual chemicals or salt.

- Protect hair from wind exposure (such as on boats or convertibles) by securing it in a braid.

To ensure your hair extensions remain flawless, secure, and beautifully blended, regular professional maintenance is essential. With the right care and expert attention, your extensions will continue to look and feel luxurious while protecting the health of your natural hair.

Recommended Wear Times

To preserve the quality of your extensions and the health of your natural hair, we recommend the following wear times:

Micro bond extensions – Designed to last 3-4 months, after which they should be professionally removed and reapplied if desired. with a mini maintenance every 2 months to reposition or remove any necessary bonds, prevent matting, and remove natural hair shedding. This appointment also includes an in-depth cleanse and treatment to keep both your extensions and natural hair in optimal condition.

Tape-in extensions – Refresh every 6–8 weeks to maintain a secure hold and seamless blend.

Sewn-in wefts – Should be maintained every 8–10 weeks with regular tightening appointments to ensure comfort and longevity.

Clip-in extensions – Best removed nightly to avoid tension on natural hair and preserve their pristine condition.

Extending wear beyond these recommendations can compromise both your extensions and natural hair. A regular maintenance schedule ensures they remain as stunning and comfortable as the day they were applied.

Preventing Hair Extension Discolouration

Hair extensions are more porous than natural hair, making them susceptible to discolouration from environmental and chemical exposure. Follow these guidelines to maintain their original tone and vibrancy.

Common Causes of Discolouration

Hard Water & Minerals – High levels of iron, copper, and chlorine can cause brassy or greenish tones.

Sunscreen – Chemical sunscreens containing avobenzone and oxybenzone can leave extensions with an orange or pink stain.

Chlorine & Saltwater – Chlorine can cause extensions to turn green, while saltwater can lead to dryness and dullness.

UV Exposure – Prolonged sun exposure can cause colour fading and brassiness.

Hair Products – Overuse of purple shampoo can create a dull, ashy cast, while certain styling products may lead to buildup and discolouration.

Heat Styling – Excessive heat can oxidise colour-treated extensions, leading to unwanted warm tones.

How to Prevent Discolouration

Use a Shower Filter – A high-quality water filter removes minerals and chlorine that contribute to brassiness.

Opt for Mineral-Based Sunscreen – Choose a sunscreen containing zinc oxide or titanium dioxide to prevent chemical staining.

Apply a Protective Barrier – Lightly coat extensions with a leave-in conditioner or UV protectant spray before sun or water exposure.

Avoid Submerging Extensions in Pools & the Ocean – If unavoidable, wet hair with fresh water beforehand and wear a swim cap.

Rinse Immediately After Water Exposure – After swimming or sweating, rinse hair thoroughly with filtered water to remove residue.

Limit Heat Exposure – Use lower temperatures (below 160°C) and a heat protectant to prevent colour oxidation.

Wash with a Clarifying Shampoo – Use a gentle, extension-safe clarifying shampoo once a month to remove buildup, but avoid excessive use.

Avoid Overusing Toning Products – While purple or blue shampoos can neutralise brassiness, excessive use may lead to dull or unnatural tones.

Keep Extensions Hydrated – Well-moisturised hair is less porous and less likely to absorb external discolouring agents.

By following these precautions, you can maintain the original colour and quality of your extensions for longer. If discolouration occurs, seek professional treatment rather than attempting at-home corrections.

To keep your blonde or colour-treated hair vibrant and healthy, gentle care is key. Use a professionally recommended shampoo from your stylist.

Recommended washing: 1–2 times per week. Always follow with a hydrating conditioner or mask and rinse with cool water to help seal the cuticle and enhance shine.

Protect your hair from discolouration by using a shower filter, avoiding chemical sunscreens, and rinsing after swimming in chlorine or saltwater. A UV protectant spray or a hat can help.

For tone maintenance, use purple or blue shampoo VERY sparingly and book a toning or gloss treatment between salon visits. Keep heat styling tools below 160°C and always apply a heat protectant to prevent dryness and colour fading.

Regular salon visits every 6–8 weeks help maintain colour vibrancy, while deep conditioning treatments keep hair strong and soft. For the best results, visit us in salon for expert care and personalised advice!

To maintain the longevity and smoothness of your keratin treatment, gentle care is essential. Use a professionally recommended shampoo from your stylist.

Recommended washing: 1–2 times per week. Always follow with a hydrating conditioner or mask and rinse with cool water to help seal the cuticle and enhance shine.

For the first 48 hours, avoid washing, tying, or creasing your hair to allow the treatment to fully set. Protect your results by using a silk pillowcase and minimising excess moisture exposure, including humidity and sweat.

To prevent dryness and maintain shine, apply a lightweight leave-in treatment or keratin-infused oil. Limit heat styling where possible, always use a heat protectant, and keep tools below 180°C.
