Wash carefully & with the right products
When applying permanent extensions, it is important to advise your client to wait 48 hours before washing their hair.
Recommend a shampoo suitable for professional hair extensions that is silicone-free, protein-free, sulfate-free and sodium-free.
When washing, it is important to know:
• Brush and detangle hair extensions when at least 80% dry (never brush, comb or detangle when wet).
• Wash your hair with lukewarm water, always holding your head straight.
• Wash the scalp and between the attachment points, from root to tip.
• Rub gently to avoid the hair getting tangled between the roots and the attachment points.
• Apply a moisturizing mask to the lengths at least once a week (avoid applying it to the roots and attachment points).
• Wash your extensions at least once a week or every three days for oily hair.

• Pat your hair extensions dry after washing with an extension towel.
• Preferably use a “wet brush” or “boar bristle brush” style extension brush .

• Dry your head straight, holding the hairdryer at least 15 cm away from your scalp and the attachment points.

-For the conditioner it is important to put a small amount and not to put it on the attachment points. It is
recommended to apply the product to the lengths and ends of the extensions only. It is also important to rinse
abundantly thereafter.
2. Hydrating mask
-Using a moisturizing mask is an incredible asset to accentuate the shine of the extensions and ensure their flexibility as well
than good hydration. We recommend doing this once a week. Simply apply it to the lengths
and tips of the extensions without touching the attachment points, leave it to act for around 10 minutes and rinse thoroughly.
It is important to note that the mask should always be followed by the conditioner. The mask treats deeply and the conditioner tightens the scales.
Don'ts

Notify your technician if you are unable to do this.
⇒ Do not brush or comb over the attachment points.
⇒ Do not pull too hard, because the strength of your hand is equivalent to
several kilos and can pull out the extensions or even tear off your
root if the extension resists.
⇒ Do not scratch too hard at the roots to avoid breaking your hair or damaging the hair extensions
• Never sleep with wet hair
• Tie hair in a low ponytail or braid when sleeping.

strands and reduce the lifespan of hair extensions since the product
could damage the attachment points. Never bleach the extensions .
