• I strongly recommend using a satin or silk pillowcase when sleeping. This will alleviate friction and tangling.
• Brush hair at bonds using only soft boar bristle brushes. Use gentle strokes to prevent damage to the bonds. Never pull on the bonds. When brushing out tangles, begin detangling at the bottom and gently work your way up. ALWAYS hold your hair at the bonds to prevent brushing from causing unnecessary stress to the bond.
• DO NOT USE oil-based or silicone-based products on hair, as these will weaken the bonds. Be sure to read the labels of all current shampoos or styling products you may be using to see if they contain Silicone, Dimethicone, or anysilicone derivative. Also ANY oils such as Avocado Oil, Sunflower Seed Oil, etc will weaken the bonds. If any of these products are present, your bonds may deteriorate causing premature extension loss.UPDATE: It has come to our attention that manufacturers have begun adding additional suffixes onto the end of silicone based products, for instance: Dimethiconol. PLEASE read the list of ingredients on all hair care products before use!!!!!
• Do not use products on the hair that contain sulfur, such as dandruff shampoos. We recommend sulfate free shampoo. Please watch for dimethicone and silicone derivatives in sulfate free shampoos. The best products for your extensions will be free of both sulfur and dimethicone.
• When shampooing and drying, use gentle strokes. Do not use a scrubbing motion. Make sure you completely dryhair in and around the bonds as quickly as possible. Also, do not use extremely hot water when shampooing; and also only use your hair dryer on the warm setting. The bonds can soften over time if exposed to too much heat, causing less longevity.
• Shampoo and dry hair as soon as possible after swimming.Do not allow the bonds to remain wet for long periods of time. Please note that swimming in the ocean is NOT an option. Salt is a death sentence for keratin bonds!!
• Every day, run your fingers over each bond from the scalp down through the ends. This will alleviate “cross tangling”. Also at this time, check to make sure your hair is not dreading between the bond and the scalp. If you find that the hair is tangling, gently pull apart or comb the hair in between the scalp and bond to remove the tangle. We fondly refer to this as “lifting and separating”. This is one of the most important responsibilities in extension aftercare!!
• If you color your hair at home, avoid allowing haircolor to come in contact with the extension bonds.
• Avoid touching extension bonds with flat irons, curling irons, etc. Do not use hot rollers, as the hot tool can not avoid sitting on the bonds.

 Failure to follow these guidelines WILL result in shortened extension life!
