The key to their fabulous hair is the clever use of hair extensions, carefully blended to match exactly with their own hair. Hair extensions offer instant volume for limp tresses or emergency relief from a disastrous haircut..

HOME MAINTENANCE
OK, you have invested in quality extensions and you want to take care of them. Caring for extensions are a bit different from caring for your own hair. Here are a few tips that may help you achieve your goal.
Do not wash your hair for 48 hrs. (2 days) of getting the fusion techniques. If you are a swimmer wet your hair before entering
any pool or spa with chemicals in the water.
After that you may shampoo your hair once(recommended) or twice a week using a non-alcohol or non-alkaline shampoo. Brush each row of extension hair from the ends to the scalpbefore & after shampooing. You may also shampoo once or twice a week using cool to warm water never extremely hot water. Condition the ends as well and always use a shower, not a sink. Always wash with your head slightly tilted back. Place shampoo in the palm of your hand and stroke the strands from scalp to ends DO NOT SHAMPOO THE EXTENSION HAIR IN CIRCULAR MOTIONS THIS WILL CAUSE THE HAIR TO TANGLE. Your goal is to clean your scalp rather than your hair, because your scalp produces oils that attract dirt. Squeeze excess water and shampoo from your hair.
Stroke downward with conditioner in the palm of your hand DO NOT PUT CONDITIONER ON ATTACHMENTS. You may brush through extensions to get tangles out holding the palm of your hand at the base of your scalp to secure the extension attachments from the hair ends to the scalp. Rinse throughly with cooler water. Pat your hair dry or squeeze. (do not rub) this will cause hair to tangle. Add a leave-in conditioner. You may also make a detangler with your favorite conditioner, one part water one part conditioner. Mix in a spray bottle and apply to hair. You may also choose to do this every night to keep your extensions moisturized and detangled while sleeping. Apply styling products and style your hair. Avoid getting products that contain oils or lubricants close to the attachment. Oils & lubricants tend to soften fusion, shrinkies & bonding attachments and will
eventually loosen the extension, and you will loose the attachment.
You may loose about 1-2 strands a week from strand by strand methods and your extension hair may shed like your natural hair, make sure to schedule your maintenance appointments on a regular basis.
PLEASE NO DEEP SCALP- CONDITIONING PRODUCTS AND NO OILY HAIR CARE PRODUCTS, NO EXCEPTIONS. DO NOT BLOW DRY YOUR HAIR WITH HIGH HEAT AT THE ROOTS. DO NOT LET CONDITIONER SET ON THE ROOTS FOR MORE THAN FIVE MINUTES. ABSOLUTELY NO OVERNIGHT CONDITIONING TREATMENTS. NO LONG HOURS IN A SAUNA OR HOT TUB WITH THE FUSION METHODS THE STEAM HEAT MAY HARM THE ATTACHMENTS.
You may blow dry your extensions on a low heat setting. Do not blow dry your hair excessively with high heat at the roots(air drying works best for extensions). Do not let hair conditioner set on the roots for more than five minutes. Use products that are silicone based, no balsam, products with sulphur, henna, alcohol or alkaline. Never go to bed with wet hair. Your hair will mat and tangle. Put your hair in a loose braid or in a few scrunchies at night before you go to bed to minimize tangles. Satin pillowcases are great, better than cotton. You must take care of the extensions as well as your hair underneath brushing always from the ends to the scalp with a nylon bristle, boar or loop brush. Brushing from root to ends helps to minimize your natural hair from tangles.
STYLING YOUR EXTENSIONS
Use a boar, nylon or loop bristle brush with soft to medium bristles.
They do not get caught on the extension attachment. No Hard
Bristles. YOU MUST brush your hair at least two times a day (or
more) from the ends continuing to the scalp, or hair WILL tangle.
Air dry your hair(80% dry) after every wet treatment(air drying or a cool hair dryer is recommended) blow dry with cool or warm air never extremely hot. Blow dry from ends to roots from the bottom to the top in small sections to prolong the life of your extensions.
Avoid touching the point of attachment with hot styling tools or heat. Use med heat setting, never to hot this may damage extension hair.
Always brush from the roots to ends. Brush with one hand firmly on your head, supporting the extension attachments brushing from the ends to the scalp, and don't forget to brush out the nape.
No headbands with plastic or metal teeth. Soft headbands, ponytails, clips and braids are O.K. Just be aware that too much tension will loosen your extensions sooner. Just like your own hair, extension hair may be damaged with extreme heat or irresponsible care!
MAINTENANCE
Appointments should be scheduled a maximum of 3-6 weeks for proper care of your extension hair and the health of your natural hair. Your personal maintenance program will depend on your physical activities , how fast your hair grows, and the way that you care for your hair. Make sure that you are brushing from the ends
to the scalp on a daily basis!
REMOVAL
Three to five days before removal if you know when your appointment will be scheduled you may start using heavier oils or deep conditioners on the attachments. This will quicken the removal process. Brush from the ends to the scalp to make sure all tangles are out before your removal appointment. You can flat iron, curl, crimp, and set & style anyway that you choose!
Enjoy Your Hair!!
