Home Rituals
The daily practices that keep your hair healthy, your bonds secure, and your extensions looking their best.
Consistent home care will help keep your extensions looking seamless, comfortable, and beautiful between salon visits.
Daily Brushing
Brush over the bonds and hair gently 1–2 times daily using your soft bristle brush.
Proper Tension
Hold the hair at the root when brushing the ends to avoid tension on the bonds.
Bond Separation
If needed, separate your bonds daily with your fingers to prevent them from joining together.
Cleansing Routine
Cleanse and condition or treat your hair 1–2 times per week as part of your regular routine.
Drying Care
Always dry the bond area thoroughly after washing; blow-drying is preferred.
Sleep Prep
Tie your hair in a loose bun, braid, or ponytail before sleeping.
Preserving the Bonds
Chlorine Exposure
Chlorine can aggressively dry out both natural hair and extensions, causing keratin bonds to become brittle and prone to premature shedding. Always rinse with fresh water before and after swimming.
Oil-Based Serums
Heavy oils and silicone-based serums can seep into keratin attachments, causing them to slip or soften. Apply nourishing products only from the mid-lengths to the ends, avoiding the root area entirely.
Habits that can compromise bond and hair integrity, shorten the lifespan of your extensions, or impact the health of your natural hair.
Going to bed with wet or damp hair
Wearing wet or damp messy buns or ponytails
Applying oils, serums, or spray products such as dry shampoo or hairspray directly to the bonds
Pulling hard-bristle brushes or combs through knots or tangles
Leaving bonds tangled together for extended periods
Excessive backcombing near the root area
Overheating the bond area with hot tools
Using too much heat on the hair
Using products that leave heavy residue on the scalp or bonds
Skipping maintenance appointments
Excessive Heat Detail
Direct heat from styling tools applied too close to the extensions can melt the keratin bonds. Maintain a safe distance and use lower heat settings near the scalp to protect their structural integrity.
Chemical Overload
Hair dyes and chemical treatments not administered by an extension specialist can break down the adhesives used in your service. Consultation is mandatory before any chemical processing.
When to Consult Your Stylist
Matting or Knotting
If you notice any tangling near the scalp or between bonds that cannot be gently brushed out, professional intervention is required to prevent hair stress.
Slipping Bonds
Extensions that feel loose or have shifted significantly away from the root should be checked to ensure weight is still distributed safely across the section.
Scalp Sensitivity
Unusual itching, redness, or discomfort at the application site is often a sign of tension or product buildup that needs immediate assessment.
