Really? I can wash and condition my hair like I normally would? Yes, with just a few simple modifications. First and foremost: NEVER turn your head upside down and agitate or rub your hair, whether you are washing or drying. This will lead to unruly tangling. To shampoo, while in the shower, apply shampoo to the top or your head and, using a gentle, stroking motion, work the shampoo from top to bottom. Rinse using the same technique. Again, DO NOT turn your head upside down. Next, apply conditioner from the middle of the hair to the end using the same gentle stroking motion. With the conditioner still in your hair, comb it out with a pick comb, then rinse. Towel dry your hair using a blotting motion. DO NOT RUB! Then, we recommend you use a good spray on detangler, combing it through with a pick comb. Now you’re ready to style using your favorite products. What kind of shampoo and conditioner should I use? Any professional quality shampoo and conditioner should work well. My head is uncomfortable when I’m trying to sleep. Is this normal? Yes, some people experience some discomfort as they adjust to having the extensions. But this should be mild and generally only lasts a day or two. Some extensions are starting to fall out. What should I do? Over time, there will be a loss of some extensions. This is normal. We lose between 50 and 100 hairs a day as part of our natural shedding process. Some of those hairs will have extensions attached to them, so over time, some will naturally loosen and come out. Wearing your hair in a ponytail occasionally while you have extensions can help prevent tangling and may add to their longevity. How are extensions removed? Your extensions should be removed by your salon stylist. Using a special solution which crystallizes the keratin bond, your stylist has a special implement which then slides the extension off with no damage to your hair.
