Care for your real hair extensions

GENERAL CARE

  • At 10500 we recomend you return to the salon for a free complementry first wash and aftercare lesson with a member of our team. If that is not possible do not shampoo the extensions for 24 hours after extensions are applied and follow the salon aftercare instructions contained on this sheet.
  • It is so important to care for your extensions the correct way and use the appropriate aftercare products.
  • Always use the stylist recomended brush (DON’T use a ball point brush)
  • Don’t worry if you loose a couple of extensions, This is normal.
    Daytime
    • Separate the resin bonds on the extensions regularily ( This stops them sticking together and becoming entwined )
    • To keep your hair in excellent condition during the day you should use prostyles daily conditioning spray before brushing
    • Brush extensions once/twice a day. Begin by brushing the ends of your hair with a soft bristle brush ( Remembering to hold the extensions from the root area)
    • Using a downward movement gently removing any tangles. Brush gradually closer to the scalp bushing firmly roots through to ends removing any tangles.
    Bedtime
    • Put long hair in a loose plait secured with a covered band on the end while you sleep. this is very important.
