Extensions Care Page

Hair extensions are fantastic! You can add length to your hair or a beautiful streak of color. They can cover a bad cut or color and tie your hair in a ponytail. With all the glorious things they can do, can you return the favor? Proper care of extensions ensure they'll be around for a while.

Here is how you should treat your Short2Long I-Tip and Tape In Extensions:

1. Shampoo hair in a gentle manner no more than 2-3 times a week using a salon quality shampoo for color treated hair.
2. Condition hair from the mid-shaft to the ends, using a salon quality conditioner.
3. Use an extension brush, work from the ends to the top. Lift hair and make sure the underneath is thoroughly brushed.
4. Always make sure your hair is dry and tied back in a loose ponytail or braid before going to sleep.
5. Brush Short2Long Extensions three times a day, lifting the hair and brush the bottom sections as well.
6. Curling or flat irons and hot rollers may be used.
7. Seawater and pools can cause dryness to the extensions. To minimize these effects wet hair completely with tap water prior to swimming. After swimming shampoo well and apply conditioner.
8. Some extension loss is normal and is to be expected. Average hair loss is approximately 50-150 strands per day. You can expect to see a small quantity of naturally released hair in the attachment. This is normal shedding and should not be interpreted as hair being pulled from the shaft.
9. Daily brushing close to the scalp with an Short2Long extension brush and finger separation of the applied strands will avoid matting.
10. If your hair and/or extensions are dry, apply a small amount of leave in conditioner or hair oil mid shaft to ends only.

Remember: NO CONDITIONER ON LINKS OR TAPE!!!
