Hair Extension Care
Washing your hair
Don't shampoo your hair for at least 48 hours after your extensions have been applied. This allows the attachment site to set
Use recommended aftercare products BCY Artistry to maximize potential wear and protect attachment site.
Lather gently from roots to tips, don't use a rough scrubbing motion
When rinsing, tilt your head slightly back and let the water fall through the length, this prevents knotting
Finish by applying a hair mask or conditioner after every wash
Drying your hair
Gently de-tangle your hair before drying, following the brushing recommendations:
Towel dry your hair with a soft pressure, but never with a rubbing motion. Instead, use a blotting motion and wrap your hair in a towel to remove excess water.
Always dry your attachments thoroughly, do not let dry naturally as hair is at its most vulnerable when wet. Blow dry on a low heat, starting at the roots and working downwards with the recommended brush provided to you.
Remember that styling products should only be applied to the lengths and ends of your hair and never to the attachment point of your hair extensions.
Brushing your hair
Always use a hair extension brush which are specifically designed to protect the hair extensions
Using a Boar Bristle Paddle Brush, sweep all hair to one side, holding hair in place at the nape of the neck, brush through the length
Remember not to be too rough when brushing your hair as this may damage the attachment site
When backcombing, take care to only do so below the bond attachment to prevent knotting.
SLEEPING
At night, tie your hair in a loose ponytail or a braid to prevent tangling and always choose a silk pillowcase or bonnet to avoid friction.
EXERCISE & LIFESTYLE
Please be mindful of the following activities, which may affect the lifespan of your hair extensions if daily or frequently repeated:
Swimming, particularly in seawater and chlorinated water
Sauna or steam room use
Excessive aerobic activity.
