CARING FOR SILVIE STRAND-BY-STRAND HAIR EXTENSIONS

• Do not shampoo for two days after your keratin bond application
• When shampooing, always wash your hair with your head back, not tilted forward. Never dry with a scrubbing action, instead wrap a towel to absorb the excess moisture.
• When allowing your hair to “air-dry” Silvie Hair Extensions recommends that the bonds be dried with a blow dryer to avoid moisture build-up.
• If swimming in apply conditioner mids to ends, and wear your hair in 2 loose pigtail braids.
• Saunas and exercise weaken the bonds due to the wet environment always remember to dry the bonds to prevent premature bond loss.
• Hard water can strip natural hair and extension hair of color and nutrients, because of this we recommend using a shower head filter.
• Never sleep with the extensions wet, this can cause extreme matting; always use a silk pillowcase. Sleep in a low side braid or ponytail.
• Brush morning & night thoroughly to prevent tangling - your extensions are secure in the head & more problems can come from not brushing enough than brushing often. Just be gentle. Only use a brush designed for extensions working your way from the bottom up.
• Silvie Hair Extensions recommends that you return to your stylist approximately two weeks after your application. This follow-up allows your stylist to look at your extensions to ensure that your extension application result is performing as expected.

 

CARING FOR SILVIE WEFT HAIR EXTENSIONS

Washing and Conditioning your Extensions

• Don’t wash the hair every day, as it will cause the extensions to dry out.
• Before shampooing hair extensions, brush thoroughly to remove teasing or tangles.
• When shampooing, use a sulfate-free, paraben-free, color-safe shampoo. Begin at the scalp and gently massage the shampoo in a zig-zag formation. Then section the hair and rinse thoroughly. Rinse thoroughly with clean water.
• Follow with a sulfate-free, color-safe conditioner. Apply the conditioner from mid-lengths to ends and leave it on for 2-3 minutes before rinsing. Avoid applying conditioner to the scalp as it could loosen the application.
• Never turn the head upside down to wash or dry; this might cause the extensions to form dreadlocks.

Drying your Extensions

• Allow your hair to air dry as much as possible before using a blow dryer
• Gently dry the base of the extensions first with a towel, then move to the ends.
• The hair should be 80 percent dry before using a detangling brush.
• When brushing, apply a leave-in conditioner or serum to eliminate tangles.
• Begin drying the ends and work upward. Be sure the attachment points are dried thoroughly.

Brushing your Extensions

• Only use brushes designed for hair extension care, made of boar or nylon bristles.
• Brush hair a few times a day to prevent tangling.
• Brush gently, starting at the ends and working up to the roots.
• Work section by section, lifting the extensions and brushing in-between the wefts.
• Avoid excessive pulling or aggressive brushing to maintain extension quality.

Styling your Extensions

• Avoid wearing high ponytails for the first two weeks after installation.
• It is safe to use thermal tools, including blow dryers, flat irons, and curling irons, on extensions.
• Always apply a heat-protective product before using hot tools.

Sleeping with you Extensions

• Sleep with the hair in a low ponytail or braid to prevent tangling during the night.
• Do not go to bed with wet hair, as this can cause the extensions to tangle.
• Use a silk pillowcase every night.

Coloring your Extensions

• In a word, DON'T! Extensions should only be colored by your stylist, who understands the appropriate products and techniques necessary for hair color services.

Oiling your Extensions

• Oil the mid-lengths and ends of the hair at least once a day to prevent dryness.
• Avoid applying oil to the roots.

 

Swimming with your Extensions

• Before diving in, wet hair with water and apply a light application of conditioner on the ends.
• Gather hair into a loose braid or loose high bun.
• Avoid getting sunscreen on the extensions as many sunscreen formulas can cause discoloration. When possible, use mineral-based sunscreens rather than chemical-based sunscreens. The latter may discolor the hair.
• Salt water and chlorine can also strip hair color so try not to get the hair too wet when swimming.
• After swimming, rinse hair thoroughly with fresh water and apply a leave-in conditioner.
