Hair Extensions Tools and Aftercare Advice
26-08-2017Share
At New Image Hair Extensions Manchester AFTERCARE is of upmost importance. Taking care of your new extensions properly will not only keep it looking and feeling great but it will increase the longevity of it too.
Using the correct tools, this may sound obvious but you'd be surprised how many people get this wrong. Your hair brush will be your best friend or your worst enemy depending on which you choose to use. Never use brushes with bobbles on the ends, these will interfere with the bonds or rings so opt instead for a proper extension brush, these have a cushioned base with soft bristles or use a Tangle Teezer, all these are available at the salon at the time of your appointment.
Hairsprays, serums and gels can all be used as normal but will affect the bonds so should be applied further down the hair shaft. Gels and serums will only make your hair greasy at root anyway so should always be applied in this fashion. Following these methods will not only benefit your extensions but should give you extra time between washes. I always use a dry shampoo if I need a lift saving me time and effort.
Heat styling, again you can heat style your new hair as you would your own, making sure you've used a heat defence product beforehand will protect it against any damage or breakage. Treat your new hair extensions as you would you own and you can't ever go wrong. Never pull or put unnecessary strain on your extensions, instead hold the root to give support then brush comb etc.
Want to change your colour? We strongly recommend you get your colour right before you have you new extensions applied. This can be done at the salon with one of our highly trained hair colourists on the day of your appointment. If you've changed your mind three weeks later and really want to have it re coloured then please call the salon before attempting this yourself or going to any other stylist. We are specifically trained in this field but most hairdressers are not. All our REMY hair is multi tonal (made up of different colours) the dye may pick up different tones. If you do dye then make sure you avoid the bond. This of course will affect the 3 month guarantee.
We are available to answer and advise you on all aspects of your new hair extensions. If you have any query then please just pick up the phone or message us. Our service doesn't end when you walk out of the salon, we want you happy for months to come. Book your Free Consultation today.
