Caring for Your New Extensions at Home: A Simple Guide
Congratulations on your gorgeous new extensions! 🎉 Whether you’ve added length, volume, or both, taking care of them at home is key to keeping that fresh-from-the-salon look. 💇♀️ Let’s walk through some easy tips to make sure your extensions stay fabulous long after your visit to Adorn Hair Artistry. 💖
1. Wait Before Washing ⏳🚿
Patience is a virtue! ✨ Wait at least 48 hours before washing your new extensions to let the bonds and attachment points fully settle. When it’s time to wash, focus on your scalp—scrubbing the extensions will likely dry them out and could cause premature color fading. 💦
2. Use Extension-Friendly Products 🧴💆♀️
Your extensions need extra TLC! 🥰 Stick to sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to keep the hair soft and smooth. R and CO and other salon products are always a win for maintaining the beauty of your extensions. 🌸
3. Detangle Gently 🪮🧖♀️
Before you hit the shower, brush your extensions with a loop brush or wide-tooth comb. Start from the tips and work your way up, being gentle to avoid any snags. ✨ Detangling before washing is a must! Consult with your style on which style of hairbrush is best for your installation method.
4. Avoid Heat Damage 🔥✋
While you can style your extensions like your natural hair, heat can lead to damage over time. Use a heat protectant before blow-drying, curling, or straightening. For healthier locks, try air-drying whenever possible. 🌬️
5. Sleep Smart 😴💤
Before bed, secure your extensions in a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling. A silk pillowcase is another great way to avoid friction and keep your hair smooth while you sleep. 🛏️✨
6. Regular Maintenance Is Key 📅💇♀️
Schedule a touch-up every 6-8 weeks to keep your extensions looking flawless. Your follow-up visit at Adorn Hair Artistry will help prolong the life of your extensions and keep you feeling fabulous. 💁♀️💕
