Client Do’s and Don’ts

DO:

  • Wait 24-48 hours before washing or chemically processing your hair
  • When brushing, use a soft, boar bristle brush; starting at the ends and working your way up, always brushing in a downward motion.  Brush before shampooing to keep hair from matting.
  • Always us a good leave-in conditioner from mid shaft to ends, keeping away from the tape tabs.
  • Wear your hair in a low pony tail when swimming, exercising and sleeping
  • Wait 48-72 hours after any chemical treatment to have extension applied.
  • Always have a licensed cosmetologist remove and re-apply your extensions

DON’T

  • Don’t use any products containing alcohol, oil, or ethanol.  Alcohol based products are drying to the hair and can compromise the strength of the adhesive bond.
  • Don’t brush hair harshly.
  • Don’t go to be with your hair wet.
  • Don’t chemically process your hair at home.  Rely on your salon professional for any services while wearing extensions.
  • Never remove your extensions yourself.

Hair Extensions Aftercare

When a salon professional and a client both follow the guidelines for tape-in extensions application and hair care properly, the results can be amazing and stay looking that way for 8-10 weeks at a time.  If an issue should arise, refer to the following solutions:

Cause:  At the time of application the client’s hair may have been poorly clarified, there may have been residual silicones from a “Plex” treatment, too damp, freshly dyed, or had too much hair placed between the two tabs.  Your client may be using products with oil, heavy silicones or alcohol.

Solution:  Completely remove hair extensions and re-apply with new tape, making sure your client’s hair is prepared according to the directions.  Make sure the client is using good products at home.

Cause:  The extensions could have been applied too close to the scalp, pulled too tightly, or placed against the natural growth of the hair.

Solution:  Completely remove hair extensons and re-apply carefully following instructions.  Let the strand of the client’s hair fall over the lower adhesive loosely and in the natural direction of growth.

Cause:  The scalp has not adapted to the new weight, or the client may not be shampooing and rinsing properly.

Solution:  No scratching; the scalp must adjust to the new weight.  Just give the issue some time.  Make sure to reiterate the importance of rinsing all product out of the hair.  Remember, there is no latex, silicon or other allergens in the tabs that would cause irritation

Cause:  The extension could be damaged due to excessive heat or using the wrong products.

Solution:  Use a hydrating masque on natural hair and extensions. For optimal results, use specially formulated products regularly.

Cause:  The client has probably gone to be with wet or damp hair; has kept a towel on her damp hair for too long; hasn’t brushed hair before washing; or has rubbed or massaged her scalp too much.

Solution:  Use our a restore strand-by-strand and carefully work your way up with our extension brush.  To avoid this from re-occurring, inform your client on the proper care of her extensions.

Cause:  There are may things that could cause the hair to fade or become discolored.  One more common issue at the beginning of summer is blonde extensions becoming discolored with an orange or pink tone.  This is usually due to mineral deposits from chemically treated pool water, ocean, lake, well water and sunscreens.  Blondes should refrain from using any care or maintenance products that are not clear or white in color.

Solution:  Clarify the hair with our Clean Shampoo and perform a demineralizing treatment.

Prevention:  Advise clients that they should always protect their hair before exposing it to the elements.  To block these elements, always rinse with water before and after swimming.  Applying Smooth Conditioner prior to swimming is also a smart idea.  In all cases, keep the hair extensions away from sunscreens.

  • A note regarding Argan oils:  The biggest Argan brand(s) pose a significant risk of discolorization.  Ask your Beauty Solutions Consultant about our other Beauty Solutions brands, all of which have been tested on tape-in hair extensions and found to be safe alternatives.

Frequently Asked Questions

It depends on the client and the desired length.

Yes.  We recommend rinsing the hair with water immediate before and after swimming.  Another trick is to apply, and leave-in Smooth Condition prior to swimming.  This nourishes the hair while preventing the hair from absorbing harmful elements, such as chlorine and minerals.  Regarding exercise:  Hair tangles when dirt and swear build up, so advise clients to wear their hair up or in a ponytail when exercising or relaxing in a sauna.  They must be sure to wash their hair after working out, as well a brushing before and after exercising and showering.  Exposing extensions to sunscreen may cause discoloration.

6 to 8 weeks depending on the client’s hair growth.  They can be reapplied 6-8 times for a total of 6-10 months of wear.  This time range is recommended to eliminate matting, frizzing and tangling, and ensures the extension is always fresh and close to the scalp and the extension bond appears seamless.

Our hair is 100% cuticle-on Remy human hair from India.  The extension itself is hand made in China with products from Asia, Europe and the US.

Our regular extensions are 100% Remy human hair, meaning the cuticle is intact and the hair is placed with the cuticle all facing the same direction.  This eliminates matting, tangling or short hair returns.  Our fantasy colors are a blend of temperature-safe synthetic and human hair.  This blend allows the colors to remain vibrant.  This product and be ironed and low out just like regular human hair products.  Snapples are 100% temperature safe synthetic.

It is preferred that you not color extensions at all. Consult with me to choose the right color.

All of the above heat processes are okay.  Be aware of concentrated heat applied to the tabs that can make the adhesive tacky.

We recommend that clients use a haircare line that is formulated specifically for second hair (hair not attached and getting nutrients from the root).  Heavy conditioners are not to be applied at the scalp, or adhesive tabs, but rather from mid shaft to end.  Remember to rinse longer than usual to ensure there is no product left in the hair and to avoid products containing alcohols, oils or ethanols.

Yes, roots can be retouched, staying away from the adhesive tabs.  If roots need to be done between extension services and there is enough new growth to keep the color off of the tabs, do a partial retouch, along with the hair line.  For best results, chemical services should be done 24-48 hours prior to application.

It’s not to recommended to remove your own extensions as it can cause hair damage.  Call me for an appointment.

Yes, the suggested re-use is 6-8 times depending on home care.  After 6-8 uses, bulk at the attachment area may be created and new hair purchase is necessary.

Prices are according to length, color, texture and quantity. Call me for a consultation.
