Key points

  • A gentle, sulphate-free shampoo, at a rhythm your hairdresser recommends.
  • Mask and serum on the lengths, never on the attachment points.
  • Dry with lukewarm or cool air, at 15 or 20 cm.
  • In the evening: detangle gently, then a plait or a ponytail.

Care and Shampooing

Gentleness and Products Suited to Extensions

Gentle Washing

Wash your extensions with a shampoo free from sulphates, silicones and parabens, specially formulated to cleanse while preserving their beauty. A gentle formula cleans without being harsh.

How Often to Wash

The right rhythm depends on your scalp and the type of extensions: your hairdresser advises you when they are fitted. Not washing too often generally spares the bonds.

Deep Hydration

Apply a moisturising mask for extensions to the lengths and ends, never touching the bonds.

Styling

Gentle Drying and Heat Protection

Heat Protection on the Ends

Protect your hair and your extensions with a heat-protecting serum, avoiding the roots and the attachment points, to extend the life of your extensions.

Careful Drying

Dry your extensions with care, using lukewarm or cool air where possible and keeping a distance of 15 to 20 cm. This avoids weakening your hair and extensions, while making them shinier.

Caring for the Ends

Protect the ends with a moisturising serum, once again avoiding the roots and the attachment points.

Daily Routines

By following these habits and our advice carefully, your hair extensions will stay beautiful for longer.

In the Evening, Get Your Extensions Ready for a Night's Rest

Let Them Down

Start by letting your hair down to free it from any tension.

Gentle Detangling

Use a brush designed for extensions and detangle them gently, holding them at the base to avoid any pulling on the attachment points.

Protective Hairstyle

Make a ponytail or a plait to avoid friction during the night.

In the Morning, Wake Your Extensions Up with Care

Morning Detangling

Let down and detangle your extensions gently to get them ready for the day.

Heat Protection

Before using heated tools, apply a heat-protecting spray to defend your extensions against the heat.

A Touch of Shine

Finish with a few sprays of a shine spray or a moisturising serum made for extensions.
