Hair Extension Care

1. Use salon quality shampoo and conditioner. Never use volumizing shampoo - it may lift cuticles and cause tangling.
2. Wash your hair every other day, If not you should wash it at least once or twice a week with warm water, not hot. Wash your hair immediately after swimming, spa, exercise, etc. When dirt and sweat accumulate, hair tangles. Too much leave-in conditioners and other hair care products will create a build up on the hair and will cause it to tangle faster. If the hair feels dry or heavy with build up, wash it with good, salon quality, shampoo & conditioner.
3. When swimming, always wear a cap or keep your hair out of the water to prevent prolong exposure to chlorine or salt water (salt water can be very dangerous for extensions, you are taking a chance) which causes the hair to tangle. Vision recommends pre-wetting your hair with water then applying some conditioner before swimming. This will keep it from absorbing too much chlorine or salt water. Always wash the hair right away with shampoo and conditioner after swimming in either type of water. When going to the spa, the hair should be brushed out completely and should be wrapped in a cold wet towel. All but the best extension can completely mat up the instant it hits salt water. It can also happen with sweat. so be careful.
4.Make couple of big braids or pony tails when going to sleep, swim, or exercise (please untangle the hair before making the braids). NEVER SLEEP ON WET HAIR it can mat up! Make sure the hair is completely dry before going to bed.
5. Make sure you brush the 1-2 times hair daily and apply some leave-in conditioners so that the hair is soft and manageable. Try not to put conditioner on the bonds if you are using any strand-by-strand extensions. With any strand-by-strand extensions it is very important to keep the bonds tangle free and separated. Run your fingers between them once or twice a day and brush your roots 2-3 times daily with a natural bristle brush, for very fine hair, or a loop brush, for thicker hair. A good leave-in hair treatment can keep the hair from drying. But remember not to put too much otherwise there will be a build up and make the hair feel too heavy. If the hair feels too dry or heavy with too much hair care products, you should wash the hair.
