Hair Extensions in Chester Springs & Phoenixville / Seamless, Natural-Looking Volume & Length

• Brush gently 2–3 times per day, starting at the ends and working upward with an extension brush or soft-bristle brush.
• Support the base while brushing to reduce tension at attachment points.
• Avoid brushing wet hair. Detangle gently before washing and again after drying.
• Secure before bed: Loosely braid or tie in a low ponytail to prevent tangling.
• Sleep on silk or satin to minimize friction and preserve smoothness.

Suggested Wash Routine

Your scalp oils and styling habits will determine how often you need to wash, but most guests find this rhythm works well:

• Day 1: Full wash and blow dry.
• Day 2–3: Refresh with curls or light touch-up styling.
• Day 4: Wash or refresh only the top and front (“halo wash”) to extend time between full washes.
• Day 5–6: Restyle or wear in a low, smooth style before your next full wash.

Aim to wash every 3–5 days depending on your lifestyle and hair type. Washing too often can dry out extensions, while waiting too long can lead to oil buildup near the scalp.

How to Wash

• Detangle before washing to prevent matting.
• Use sulfate-free, extension-safe shampoo and conditioner recommended by your stylist.
• Gently massage the scalp between rows or bonds using your fingertips (never nails).
• Apply conditioner from mid-lengths to ends only; avoid the bonds or wefts.
• Rinse thoroughly and finish with a cool rinse to help seal the cuticle.

• A lightweight, extension-safe dry shampoo is perfect for refreshing between washes.
• Apply at the scalp only — avoid spraying directly on bonds, beads, or wefts.
• Avoid heavy starches or alcohol-based formulas that can dull or dry the extensions.
• Your stylist can recommend the best dry shampoo for your specific method.

• Gently squeeze out excess water with a towel — never rub.
• Apply a leave-in conditioner and heat protectant before blow drying or styling.
• Always blow-dry the attachment area completely to prevent moisture buildup or slippage.
• Keep heat tools below 350°F and avoid direct heat on bonds, beads, or tapes.
• Use only professional styling products; avoid oils or silicone-based serums near the roots.

• Never sleep with wet hair.
• Loosely braid or secure your hair in a low ponytail before bed.
• Use a silk pillowcase or silk-lined bonnet to reduce friction and preserve the integrity of your extensions.
• Avoid cotton pillowcases, which can cause tangling and dryness.

• Tie hair back during workouts to prevent tangling and sweat buildup.
• Rinse or dry the attachment area afterward to keep the scalp clean and healthy.
• Apply a light leave-in conditioner before hot yoga or gym sessions to protect from salt in perspiration.

• Before swimming, wet your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner to minimize chlorine or salt absorption.
• Rinse and wash immediately after swimming, and always dry the attachment area thoroughly.
• Avoid letting extensions air-dry after swimming — moisture near the base can loosen bonds.
• Sunscreen caution: Avoid sunscreens with avobenzone — they can discolor extensions. Choose mineral-based, avobenzone-free formulas and wash hands before touching your hair.
• Limit prolonged UV exposure to prevent dryness and color fade.

• Schedule move-ups or maintenance every 6–10 weeks, depending on your method and hair growth.
• Regular trims keep ends healthy and prevent tangling.
• Let your stylist know if you notice any slipping, matting, or irritation so adjustments can be made early.
• Use only stylist-recommended products to maintain hair integrity and warranty coverage.
