It is crucial that you make the most of your extensions by taking good care of them and using the correct products.
Hair extensions are a great way to change your look, but they do require some maintenance and care. Once you have had your extensions fitted your stylist will guide you through how best to look after your new hair. Hair extensions often cost a lot of money, so it is in your interest to look after them properly.
Can I treat my hair the same as before?
Not exactly.
After your tape in hair extensions are applied, be sure to wait 48 hours before washing your hair. The adhesive will have been given adequate time to adhere to your natural hair, making them last longer and hold tighter. When you need to shower in those first two days, use a shower cap.
- The correct brushes, cleansing, conditioning, and styling products will be recommended. It is very important to follow the recommendations made by your stylist.When washing your hair, do not tip your head over the bath as this could cause tangling – always wash with your head upright – in the shower is ideal. Smooth the shampoo down the extension hair – do not rub vigorously! Only condition from the mid-lengths to the end of the hair. Do not apply any conditioner to the roots as this could cause slippage.Be very careful when brushing the hair when wet, make sure you support the extensions to not pull them from the root area with the brush.
- Brushing 3-4 times per day, on dry hair will prevent tangling.
- A heat protectant must be used before flat ironing or blow drying your hair.The more heat you use on the hair extension, the shorter the lifespan of the hair, treat your extensions with the same respect as you would with your own natural hair, superior aftercare and regular maintenance will keep your hair feeling and looking great for longer.
- Avoid sleeping with wet hair
- Always sleep with a low ponytail or braid to prevent tangling.
- Using a silk pillow to prevent snags during sleep and help prevent tangles at the root where the extensions are installed.
Can I swim in a pool and go to the beach?
Yes. Just as your own hair can, however, be affected by chlorine and salt water, it is best to use extra precautions to prevent tangling, dryness, and damage. Use a protective product with added UV protection to prevent damage from salt, chlorine, and other chemicals that may damage your extensions. That it is essential to use the proper hair care products and methods to keep your hair clean and healthy cannot be stressed enough. Your stylist will discuss this during your consultation.
Can I have my hair colored with extensions?
Yes, a professional colorist will have no problem maintaining your hair color. If you decide you want a color change, you will most likely have to replace your extensions as it will be almost impossible to get them to match the new color of your natural hair.
Is it normal for some of my extensions to come out on their own?
It is inevitable that, over time, some of your extensions will loosen and/or come out. With the right aftercare and regular maintenance, your extensions will last longer.
What is the maintenance and how long will my tape in extensions last?
You will need to maintain your Tape extensions as described above to get the best results and any other maintenance your stylist has recommended. They will last 2 – 3 months depending on how fast your hair grows, and again how well you maintain them. There is an additional fee to take the extensions out and re-tape them. You can typically reuse the hair 1-3 times before needing to reorder new, fresh hair.
Some additional care may be required to get the most out of your extensions. This will be explained during your initial consultation.
