Hair Extension Aftercare

Wefts/K-Tips/Tape Ins/Mesh Integration/Combline

For K-Tips/Tape Ins Only

  • Do NOT wash hair for the first 24-48 hours to allow your newly applied extensions to adhere completely.

Brushing

  • Use a boar bristle brush on your bonds and any brush of your choice on your mid strand to ends for daily brushing.

  • Gather hair into sections and begin brushing from the ends, working your way up towards the scalp

  • Brush you hair before it gets wet to avoid hair from tangling while washing

Washing

  • Brush extensions before washing to remove any tangles

  • Use sulfate-free and paraben-free shampoo and conditioner (only apply conditioner mid strand to ends and avoid applying at extension bond to prevent slippage)

  • Wash in between rows with hands, Do not use circular motions or flip head upside down as this causes tangles

  • Depending on the amount of rows you have, you may need to section hair with a clip to properly wash in between rows

Drying

  • Towel or air dry hair as much as possible before blow drying

  • Always use a leave in-conditioner or a heat protectant before blow drying

  • Rough dry hair, then start at the ends and work your way up towards the scalp using a round brush or a regular brush to thoroughly dry extension rows

Products

  • Always use sulfate-free and paraben-free products on extensions

Swimming

  • Before swimming, dampen hair and apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner to protect hair from chemicals

  • Tie hair in a ponytail or loose braid

  • Once done swimming, rinse the extensions and apply conditioner

Sleeping

  • Brush hair and tie in a ponytail or loose braid

  • Do NOT go to bed with wet hair as it can cause tangling close to the scalp and can cause tension/irritation to your scalp

Coloring
