after care.
* The best way to protect your investment is to properly care for your extensions at home.
* All products mentioned are available in salon and my online store.
Washing
• Brush through your hair using a wet brush BEFORE getting in the shower.
• Run fingers through the tops of wefts to make sure all tangles are out.
• Use a sulfate-free shampoo (I recommend Kevin Murphy Hydrate and Angel Wash.)
• Rinse thoroughly to prevent product buildup.
• Wash again if needed.
• Apply a hydrating conditioner and use your wet brush to evenly distribute.
- KM hydrate and Restore are my favs.
• Rinse thoroughly to prevent product buildup.
Drying
• Brush each section of your hair separately to ensure it's tangle free.
- Start with the hair at the nape.
- Then drop your bottom row.
- Then drop the hair in between your rows.
- Then drop your second row.
- Lastly, drop your hair on top and brush everything together.
• Apply your heat protectant (I recommend KM Smooth Again and Untangled).
• Rough dry your hair using only your fingers until its about 80-90% dry.
• You can use a round brush or paddle brush to smooth your extensions when your hair is almost dry.
- The key is keeping your tension to a minimum while drying and styling.
Sleep
• Never sleep with wet hair. This can cause matting and/or shedding.
• Brush thoroughly and secure in a low pony, twists or loose braid(s).
• Sleeping on a silk pillowcase is recommended.
Sunscreen Warning!
• Sunscreen with active ingredient: Avobenzone and Oxybenzone will ruin your extensions. It will turn them peach, pink, orange.
• Use "reef safe" and "mineral" suncreens ONLY.
