The 3 Most Important Aftercare Tips For Tape-In Hair Extensions

Hi, I'm Ruben Martinez, her artist and international educator for Donna, Bella, hair extensions and today, I'm here to share with you some of my favorite tips for aftercare. So the first things first, this is my go-to item. When it comes to my clients, I want to make sure every one of them go home with an extension brush, really great and really important to make sure that they're rooted area remains matte and tangle free. So now, what you're gon na do is you're gon na take this brush and go right over the point of attachment at least twice a day, making sure that it's not gon na have any mats formed whatsoever. Okay, you want to be certain that when you're utilizing the brush you're working with dry hair, so if your client comes out to shower, have them stay away from brushing it right away. You guys, since hair, will still be in its most elastic form at that point. So another thing to avoid is using direct heat over the point of attachment, and this is particularly in when you're working with the tape and extensions now with the tape ends, remember you're working with the medical-grade adhesive, so we want to avoid merging them together, the routine Okay, you guys, so you can keep the point of attachment or you can actually use heat below the point of attachment. I should say with low temperatures you don't want to go too extreme you can use about. I would say 350 would be my stopping point. Okay, anything above that is gon na cause, more wear and tear to your extensions sooner than later. So, just please keep that in mind. Now, let's talk about washing the hair. Now some of our clients are typically used to wash their hair daily, or sometimes every two to three days. So what we like to promote with extensions is washing it every three or four days or so, and in between washes, you can definitely utilize a dry shampoo. It is definitely promoted. You love dry shampoo, to give it that second day feel, even if it is on that third or fourth day so also remember, keep in mind you guys when you're shampooing, what you want a shampoo like normal, but at the same time you want to condition only The mid-shaft to the ends keep the conditioner away from that point of attachment at all times, no matter what method you're working on so that way, it's not going to promote slipping sooner than later and once again, when it comes down to extension, as far as shampoos And conditioning sulfate free products or what we love and promote. So, let's recap: when it comes to active care with extensions, you guys number one: you have your extension brush. You want to use that twice a day first thing in the morning and right before they go to bed also, we want to keep away from direct heat over that point of attachment. Okay, now, when it comes to washing, remember you guys utilize your dry, shampoo. Okay, you want to kind of keep your days of washing a little bit separate than normal, whether it be two to three days, four would be awesome as well. So, but that being said, you guys any comments, questions you got, leave them below. We'Ll see you guys.
