So youโ€™ve just gotten extensions and you canโ€™t quite remember everything that you learned at your appointment. Donโ€™t sweat it, all the information you need to know is right here:

washing 101

1

  • Try to limit washing to 1-2X per week
  • wash row by row; use clips to help you work from the bottom up
  • scrub the scalp in a zig zag motion rather than up and down
  • shampoo twice, rinsing between
  • use conditioner from your ear down; leave on for 3-5 minutes before rinsing
  • always rinse a few times to make sure all the product is gone
  • incorporate a clarifying shampoo to the routine every other week
  • you MUST use a hydrating mask on the extensions once a week; dampen hair, apply mask, let sit for 30-60 minutes, rinse in shower, follow with shampoo regime 

sleeping

  • never go to bed with wet hair
  • brush thoroughly before going to sleep
  • always sleep in a low pony-tail, one large braid, or 2 side braids
