Preparation & AftercareÂ
A little preparation before your fitting appointment helps achieve the best possible result and ensures your extensions are fitted safely and comfortably
Pre-Appointment Preparation
Please ensure you have clean, dry hair preferable washing it the evening before or morning of your fitting appointment. Avoid using conditioners or oils on the day of your fitting as this can affect the bond. Ensure your hair is detangled and free from any styling products.Â
Extensions hold best on clean hair with no product build-up, so this step is really important for longevity and comfort
Hair Extension Aftercare

Your extensions are an investment, and the right aftercare routine is essential for keeping them looking soft, healthy and luxurious for as long as possible.
With the correct care, your extensions will continue to blend with your natural hair while maintaining their quality and longevity.

Washing Your Extensions
Â
Wash your hair 1-2 times per week where possible
Use extension-friendly products recommended for your hair type
Gently shampoo the scalp area, avoiding rough scrubbing around the attachment points
Always condition the mid-lengths and ends, avoiding the bonds, tapes or rings
Ensure your hair is fully dry, especially around the attachment areas
Â
Brushing Your Extensions
Â
Brush your hair regularly using an extension-friendly brush
Always support the root area with one hand while brushing to avoid unnecessary tension
Start from the ends and gently work upwards through the hair
Take extra care around the attachment points
Â
Sleeping With Extensions

Never sleep with wet hair
Gently brush through your extensions before bed
Secure hair in a loose plait or low ponytail if preferred
A silk or satin pillowcase can help reduce friction and tangling

Styling Your Extensions

Always use heat protection before using heated styling tools
Avoid excessive heat directly on the attachment points
Keep styling gentle to protect both your natural hair and extensions
