Caring For Your Hair Extensions

AFTERCARE:

Congratulations, you are now wearing the highest quality hair extensions available in the market today. In order to maintain the beauty of the hair throughout the life of your extensions it is very important that you read and follow all home care and maintenance procedures outlined below.

BRUSHING:

1. Using a small bristle brush, thoroughly brush your extensions a minimum of two times a day and before every shampoo. 
Start by detangling the ends and brush up towards the roots. Make sure the hair extensions are tangle free in the root area. 


2. WASHING – Wait 48 hours before washing after extension service. 



3. Wash extensions a least once a week to prevent natural oils from accumulating at the scalp area and more frequently when needed. 



4. Only use the Shampoo and Conditioner and Leave-in Conditioner recommended by Anna. Take care in keeping 
conditioners 3 inches away from attachment zone. 



5. Thoroughly wet the hair. Your head should be in an upright position allowing the hair to flow in a vertical direction down the sides of the 
head. Distribute shampoo evenly in palm of your hand and apply to hair starting at the ends and working your way up to the scalp area. 



6. NEVER RUB, SCRUB OR BUNCH HAIR TOGETHER WHILE WASHING. Press and squeeze shampoo gently throughout the hair from 
ends to roots. Repeat as needed. 



7. RINSE THOROUGHLY. Gently squeeze excess water from the hair. 



8. Distribute conditioner using downward strokes from mid-shaft to ends. NEVER APPLY CONDITIONER TO THE ATTACHMENT ZONE. 
While conditioner is in the hair gently begin detangling the hair from ends to roots using the ultratress Loop brush. 



9. Never apply a haircolor, perm or relaxer while wearing extensions. Consult your professional stylist with issues concerning hair color or 
any other chemical services you might need in between extension retouches. 



10. Let hair air dry when ever possible, proceed to style. Avoid using high heat styling tools. Spray leave-in conditioner brush, detangle and separate extensions at the root 
area completely.

AFTER CARE 



1. Blow dry or curl hair with care. Keep heat away from the attachment zone and use a diffuser whenever possible for better heat 
distribution.


2. Always hold extensions while brushing to avoid tension on the root area. 

3. Curling or flat irons and heat rollers may be used, but avoid heat to attachment area. 

4. Always shampoo hair after swimming or rigorous activities. 


5. Dry hair thoroughly before going to bed. NEVER GO TO SLEEP WITH WET HAIR. 


6. Long extensions should be braided into one big braid before going to bed to prevent tangling and maintain style. 

7. Consult your professional stylist with issues concerning haircolor or any other chemical services you might need in between your 
extension services. 


8. Plan to service your extensions with your stylist every six to eight weeks in order to maintain your hair beautiful, healthy and trouble free.
