Hair Extensions Aftercare Guidelines

Aftercare Guidelines

Before washing you should de-tangle hair from ends to roots
Use a mild shampoo, followed by an intense conditioner. A conditioning mask is recommended once a week
Wash your hair with luke warm water
Wash hair in an upright position - never over a sink or in a bath
Gently squeeze out excess water and pat dry with a towel
You must use a soft bristle brush – Denman or Balmain are recommended
Spray you hair with a leave – in conditioner before brushing (Ausie products tend to work best). Heat protector sprays and shine serums are also recommended
Hair must be separated gently every few days to avoid matting – if any bonds seem to be connecting please see your extensions consultant asap
Before going to bed always tie hair extensions in a loose plait or ponytail
When swimming always tie your hair back and keep out of water as much as possible. Before entering the pool cover hair in conditioner which will minimise the absorption of chlorine

Check up

Bond Hair asks that you come back and see us 1-2 weeks after your fitting so we can check the extensions are being cared for correctly and that you’re happy with your new hair. This is completely free of charge and only takes 5 minutes.

Don’t

Do not apply conditioner, wax or oils on or near the keratine bonds
When washing your hair do not over massage or twist the extensions. Avoid red hot water
Do not blow dry at the root or apply heat irons over areas where bonds are applied – you can blast roots with a cool dry setting
Do not twist or play with bonds as they may loosen
Because the hair is already processed it is advisable to avoid tint colour and perm
Do not attempt to remove the extensions your self
Do not use hair products that contain : Acetone, Acetate, Petroleum, Paraffinium and serum
Do not wash your hair more than three times a week – dry shampoo is good in between
Do not use Pantene, Tresemme or Head & Shoulders
Going abroad isn’t recommended to those new to extensions. If you swim in pools you must shampoo/condition hair straight after and its best to tie your hair back
Do not go in the sea – salt water can tangle long hair. A UV–protection spray is advised
