We get asked all the time, “Is it hard to take care of your extensions?” The answer is no, if you follow our take home care sheet step by step.
As a client of Adored Salon, you know we take pride in sharing with you information about the products best suited for your hair and how to use them for optimum styling.
Every single step on our take home sheet is a complete guide to caring for your extensions and keeping them healthy.
New extension clients go home with an Iles Formula set and a deep conditioning mask. The set includes a shampoo, conditioner, and a serum. These are the perfect products for extensions because Iles formula has gentle ingredients with powerful results. They are paraben-free, cruelty free, and sulfate free. These products also contain vitamins B5, E, and silk proteins that will strengthen your own hair and keep your extensions looking brand new!
The first step on the take home care sheet is to brush your hair out before you get in the shower (for straight hair only) if you have naturally curly hair DO NOT brush your hair while dry.
Next, you will shampoo your hair two times with the Iles shampoo. Make sure your are scrubbing in between your wefts and lifting your hair up to make sure you rinsed all the suds out.
Once you’ve shampooed you apply the Iles conditioner starting at your ends and working your way up to the mid shaft of your hair. While the conditioner is on comb through it with a wide tooth comb and let it sit for 3 to 5 minutes.
Once a week you will apply the Iles mask the same way as the conditioner and let it sit on while your in the shower or longer. When you rinse out the mask you want to use the Iles conditioner to coat the mask and then rinse it out really good.
After your hair is clean, use your wet brush to get the tangles out holding onto the top of your wefts, starting at the bottom and working your way up. It is important to brush all the way to the top of the weft but you do not want to brush over them. This will cause the hair to start looping at the top and no longer be usable!
Once your hair is brushed through, apply a quarter amount the Iles serum and apply all over your hair and blow dry. The serum is very important to put in before you blow dry because it works as a heat protectant.
If you are a curly girl, you will go through the normal rake and shake process with Ouidad products prior to diffusing your hair and applying clips to the top to encourage fullness.
If you have straight hair when you go to bed split your hair in the back and either do pigtail braids or a rope braid so you do not get tangled or matting in your hair while sleeping.
For curly girls, it’s the same sleeping sock that you normally use to protect your curls.
Hand-tied hair extensions are super easy to take care of if you follow the steps!
One last must is to schedule your raise appointment every 6 to 8 weeks. Some people do not think their hair grows at all in that amount of time but trust us, it does. If you go any longer then 8 weeks you run the risk or your hair breaking off, matting with your natural hair and extensions, and potential bald spots depending on how grown out.
As you can see the process for caring for extensions really isn’t that difficult.
