Looking after your hairrs.com extensions

Thank you for choosing hairrs.com for your extension needs! To ensure you keep your new hair in its optimum condition, please follow these guidelines for after care of your hair extensions at home!

Human hair extensions have to go through in-depth procedures before they get to you - the customer... This means they have had a loving process of gentle coloring, organizing, cleaning, and conditioning. This is why we need to give them the utmost love and care to keep them at the best they can be - Because they've been on quite a journey already! We aim to keep you and your hair in a happy healthy condition, so here's how to maintain health, shine, strength, and longevity to your hairrs.com hair extensions.

We retail two types of hair at hairrs.com. Our Human hair which is premium quality, and our double wefted remy virgin hair which is luxury quality. Both types of hair need the after care package that follows.

After having your extensions applied by a professional, hairrs.com recommends no hair washing for 48 hours. We also recommend for the first 2 weeks, avoiding tying the hair tight or high on the head. Loose and low is ideal during this period.

Daily care

To detangle the knots use a soft bristle hair extension brush.
Brush through the ends first and work your way upwards. This helps avoid encouraging knots, keeps your strands separate, and reduces breakage.
Never brush hair while it is wet – it is at its weakest, use a wide-toothed comb and conditioner instead.
Professional quality, lightweight detangling sprays, are great for tackling daily tangles. Spritz mid-lengths to ends and comb through.
Professional quality, lightweight hair oil, is great for smoothing flyaways frizz, and static. Use a pea-sized amount on mid-lengths to ends.
Lightweight serums and sprays can be used wet and dry.
A bit of shedding is common. Especially directly after application.

Conditioning

Conditioning your extensions is very important to keep your hair smooth, shiny, protected and detangled. This should always follow shampooing. Always use a professional quality conditioner.
We recommend a conditioner for adding moisture to the hair. Once the shampoo is rinsed out, use a good amount to coat all your extension lengths in conditioner.
Separate your hair into sections (starting underneath - clip the top away) to make it more manageable.
Smooth conditioner over extension hair avoiding the attachments at the root.
Use a wide-toothed comb working from the ends upwards to ease out any tangles. Work your way through the extension sections. Once all the extensions are coated focus on your natural hair + comb through the conditioner.
Once all smoothed through, rinse out with water.
When you have washed your hair blot your extensions with a towel rather than scrubbing. This will keep the hair from matting. Or wrap it up and let the towel do the drying work for you.

Blow-drying

Always use a professional grade heat protection when heat styling your hair for longer lasting condition.
So grab your soft bristle extension brush, this is for use on your attachments at the root.
Section your hair so its manageable to dry, and on a low-heat setting dry your attachments running the brush over them.
If you experience a matting ensure attachments are separate by using fingers to tease them apart if needed. Work through all the bonds thoroughly.
Then work through your lengths... at this point you can switch to a preferred styling brush - just remember to avoid the root attachments if it isn't an extension brush.

Lifestyle

Exercise, Swimming and holidays - they can effect your extensions, so be aware of your activities.
Sweating between attachments could cause matting, so like when you have washed your hair, make sure you have brushed through the attachments to keep them separate after exercise.
Chlorinated water contains chemicals we advise you not to get on your hair, so if your swimming - keep your hair as dry as possible.
If you do get it in chlorinated water, use a professional quality deep clarifying shampoo, followed by a moisturising shampoo, followed by a treatment.
UV rays from the sun can be damaging to hair, so we advise to treat the hair with a professional UV protectant hair product if your exposed to a lot of natural sunlight.
Finally, sunscreens. Do not get these on your extensions. Some contain chemicals that can actually change the hair colour.

Sleeping

If you have a more permanent fixture and sleep with your hairrs.com extensions in, brush your hair, and wear in a low braid to bed. This helps to keep your hair smooth and detangled avoiding abrasion and damage whilst sleeping.
NEVER go to bed with wet hair extensions. If your extensions are temporary, (clips) always remove them before sleeping.

Clip ins

If you have a more temporary hair extension these don't need to be washed as often as your own hair. Every 2-3 weeks is enough to keep them clean. Wet, use a professional quality shampoo. Gently massage the shampoo through, pulling through the tops to the ends. condition as follows.
NEVER go to bed with wet hair extensions. If your extensions are temporary, (clips) always remove them before sleeping.

Colouring

Our Remy human hair extensions can be treated just like your own natural hair. They can safely be dyed or toned. Still, colour can surly damage to your extensions. Not only that but colour takes differently to different textures of hair. and yours may grab differently to your extensions.
The best option is to achieve your ideal colour prior to applying the extensions and matching them up.
If you do want to try to colour them we advise you speak to a professional hairstylist, experienced in colouring extensions.The same goes for toner shampoos like silver shampoo.

Styling

Again a professional heat protection product is always important when styling.
Direct heat from tongues wands irons and curlers needs a good distribution of heat protection products.
Always avoid your attachments with your heated tools and work 1" below them.
We recommend styling with 180c/ 350f heat setting or below.

Treating

Similar to conditioning, hair treatments help keep your hair smooth, shiny, protected and restored. A treatment penetrates deeper into the hair than conditioner, rebuilds, strengthens and repairs hair. We recommend treating the hair every 4th wash. This will prolong the strength of the hair. Give your hair extensions more longevity.
Follow the steps in the conditioning guide with your hair treatment, but leave the treatment to soak in for 5-20 minutes before rinsing away.

Shampooing

Washing your extensions should always be done with a professional quality shampoo.
When washing, handle the extensions gently. Don't over-lather.
Wet the hair thoroughly. Separate sections through the underneath where your attachments are and gently shake shampoo between and pull through the lengths of your extensions.
Focus mainly on removing grease build up near the scalp.
Repeat this step if the hair is particularly dirty. Remember not to over scrub, bonds can matte and our aim is to keep them separate.

Maintenance

Human hair is well. Over time it will need a cut, check ins with condition and we recommend you go to an experienced hair extension stylist for trims and further advice on caring and maintaining your hair!
Application and removal of fixtures other than clip-ins should ALWAYS be performed be a professionally qualified hair extension stylist.

Storage

You can store your hair in its original packaging or use a storage box, or hair extensions hanger.
Never store the hair wet.
