Where to start?

The best place to start is by checking the back of your existing shampoo and conditioner bottles.

You want to keep an eye out for the following keywords:

- Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
- Sodium Laureth Sulfate
- Alcohol denat
- Ethanol
- SD Alcohol 40

If you see any of these ingredients then it's time to switch the old for the new!

Styling products

After all the effort to ensure you've been using the right shampoo and conditioner, it's only right that you follow through with a heat protectant spray.

If you're styling your hair more than once a week it can easily become heat damaged.

It's often a common perception that damage is solely caused by hot tools such as straightners or curlers. However, damage can also occur from everyday blow drying.

Therefore, it's essential to use a heat protectant which will prevent damage and breakage from occuring.

AFTER WASH CARE

We often hear clients say they've tried all methods of prevention yet still wake up with breakage and damage to their hair extensions.

Could it be that they have the wrong pillowcases?

Absolutely!

Studies have shown that sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase can help to prevent tangles and frizz, as well as reduce damage from rubbing and pulling.

AFTER CARE

Taking care of your hair extensions is crucial to maintaining their quality and longevity.
