extension care

Proper extension care is essential to maintain the health of your natural hair, protect your investment, and keep your extensions looking seamless and beautiful for as long as possible.

  • Brush thoroughly throughout the day using Amanda Ozard’s The Unwind Brush.

    Hold the base of extensions while you brush, or put your fingers over to protect. Always brush tangles from the bottom and work your way up. 

    Always brush thoroughly and brush out every knot or tangle. If you do not brush thoroughly, extensions can get matted which can cause damage to your own hair as well as the extensions.

  • Avoid pulling or using strong tension on the extensions.

    Blowdry the base all the way after washing. 


    Use oil daily on the extensions and use a deep conditioner every time you wash.

  • Brush thoroughly before going to sleep. This is a great time to add oils to the extensions.

    Braid at night. Two french braids is the most secure but one single three strand braid will also work. Secure with a Silk Scrunchie. 

    Cover with a Silk Scarf or use a Silk Pillowcase or both. 
    Never go to sleep with wet hair

  • Use professional products that are approved for extension use.

    Do not use purple shampoo on extensions
    Do not use dry shampoo on extensions

  • Avoid sunscreen containing Oxybenzone and Avobenzone. These ingredients cause a chemical reaction which leaves the extensions stained pink or orange. This can not be removed. 

    Avoid Chlorine. This can leave the extensions discolored, darker, tangled, matted and/or damaged. It is best to not get your hair wet if possible when swimming in a chlorine pool. 

    Avoid salt water. If you do go in salt water, prep the hair by wetting and adding a deep leave in conditioner prior. Keep a detangling brush and conditioner with you to brush and detangle throughout the day for a beach day

FAQs

Are extensions right for me?

Extensions can be great for everyone! Because we each have unique qualities about our hair and routine, an in person consultation is required to determine if extensions are right for you and your lifestyle

CAN YOU TELL ME THE PRICE WITHOUT A CONSULTATION?

Not exactly. Each set of extensions is unique in length, color, texture, and amount of hair. All those factor into the price and it is impossible to know the right amount for you without an in person consultation so we can feel the hair density. A new set of extensions is an investment in yourself, trust me, you do not want to rush it or skimp your experience by skipping this part. 
 

Is my hair TOO FINE?

As long as there is enough hair to lay over the extensions, you can get extensions. The extensions are super light weight so any hair type can wear.

Is it damaging?

All extensions have the potential to cause damage when not properly installed or properly cared for. We take every effort to prevent this from happening for a healthy extension experience.

Can I change my hair color?

Extensions can be colored for a perfect match to each client, however big changes are not recommended and extensions cannot be bleached. So if you are planning a big change to your hair color, its best to get new extensions and start fresh.

I workout everyday, can I still get extensions?

Yes. Sweat or oil does not negatively impact extensions. 

ARE THEY UNCOMFORTABLE? 

Everyone has a different tolerance for things attached to their hair, but generally the extensions are very comfortable.

Can I still wear my hair up?

Yes, you can!
