Carrying out the correct aftercare for our luxury range of Human Hair extensions is essential to help prolong the life span and maintain your Beauty Locks!
Without following our expert advice, you may be at risk of damaging your extensions, decreasing their lifespan and potentially damaging your own hair in the process.
Washing your hair
Our team of professionals recommend that you wash your hair only once a week with your extensions in. If possible, make dry shampoo your best friend!
Pro Tip - Dry Shampoo is amazing for CLEAN hair, rather than waiting for your hair to get dirty. With dry shampoo, the easiest method to prevent grease is by applying a few sprays to your roots once your hair is freshly washed and dried and topping up a few days later if necessary. It is also a great way to add some more volume to your hair instantly.
- Before washing your hair, be sure to brush through your hair (starting at the ends and working your way up to the roots) and preferably with a Tangle Teezer (avoid using combs)
- Wash your hair with a sulphate free Shampoo & Conditioner along with lukewarm water
- Start washing your hair in a upright position, massage the scalp of your head carefully and let the suds run through the mid length to the ends. Be careful not to twist or tangle the hair. Do no massage your extensions too vigorously as this will cause damage and potentially even severe matting.
- Once rinsed, apply the conditioner only to the mid lengths and the ends of your hair, avoiding the roots as this could make the extensions slip. Make sure that the hair is rinsed thoroughly.
- After washing, try not to rub the hair or roll your hair. Instead, carefully squeeze any excess water out and pat the rest dry.
- Apply a serum, starting at the ends and working through the mid lengths, but still avoiding the roots to prevent slipping.
- Start by blow drying on a COLD setting - this will avoid any issues such as the bonds softening or rings corroding. Blow dry as normal.
General maintenance
With your hair extensions, we recommend that you use only a brush or a tangle Teezer while looking after your locks day to day. Avoid using combs. When brushing your Beauty Locks extensions, always start from the bottom and work your way up towards the root area to minimise tension and stress to your scalp. Our hair can be treated exactly as your own, and styled however you desire.
Our experts recommend putting your hair into two plaits before bed, or a loose ponytail every night. This is the best way to avoid any matting and tangling throughout the night. Also, it is extremely important that you never go to bed with your extensions still wet, always make sure they are completely dry beforehand.
