Hair Extension Care Suggestions:
Pre-Installation
- Always wash hair extensions prior to the first wear to remove any remnants of the preparation process, a very light shampoo or a good co-wash will suffice
- Before installation you may want to seal the edge of the weft with a bonding glue to reduce the chance of shedding – use a black bonding glue to avoid visible white dried glue remnants
Day-to-Day Maintenance and Styling
- Always detangle hair using a wide-toothed comb or brush whilst it has plenty of leave-in conditioner to help any tangled strands to separate
- Try to avoid shampoos with sulphates as these strip hair of moisture and will remove natural oils from your scalp
- Use a conditioner after shampooing and be sure to rinse the conditioner off with cold water to enhance the strength and shine of hair.
- Use a Luxeriva recommended oil to maintain moisturised tresses.
- For curly styles spritz the hair with water each morning, using fingers to detangle – then liberally apply a curl defining product of your choice before scrunching hair with your palms to encourage coils to pop!
- Avoid heat styling, but if you must be sure to use a heat protector spray
- Braid or Wrap hair that's sewn in before sleeping and cover with a silk scarf, bonnet or use a silk pillow case if you don’t want to cover your head
- Remove clip-in extensions prior to sleeping to avoid discomfort or hair tangling
- Avoid swimming in chlorinated water and protect hair from the elements if damage or detriment (dust, smoke etc.) is probable
- Always have hair dyed or coloured by a tried and tested hair professional
- Enjoy your hair!
