Ktip Extension at Home Maintenance
If you've invested in keratin bonded hair extensions, you're probably
amazed at how incredible they look.

Follow these tips to protect your keratin bonded hair extensions.

Clean and Condition your extensions weekly this will help keep your hair
and extensions looking healthy and natural.

*Shampoo using a gentle circular motion focusing on your scalp. But be


careful not to over-scrub. That can lead to matting and breakage.

*Sulfates break down the bonds of the extensions, so use a sulfate-free


shampoo.

*Your hair will feel pretty heavy. Extensions hold a lot more moisture. I
personally find it easier to divide my hair into two sections and pull them
forward. I shampoo down the middle part of my hair first and work it
through the different sections. If the shampoo is not getting sudsy add
more water not shampoo. (If you shampoo weekly you can did two
shampoos back to back)

*Condition the ends of your hair. Use a salon-quality conditioner as a


lubricant to gently comb through any tangles while in the shower.

* Wring out as much water as possible before you get out of the shower,
your hair should not be dripping wet

*You can also use dry shampoo and washing just your part line during
the week.

* I recommend shampooing in the morning on a non work or school day


to allow the hair to air dry to avoid unnecessary heat.
Use the Right Brush to Protect Your Keratin Bonded Hair
Extensions
When you have extensions, you need to fix tangles as
soon as they start. Make sure you have the right tools and
techniques protect your extensions. The Balmain
Extension Brush is designed with your extensions in
mind. Using a regular brush can cause breakage and
weakening the bonds as they tear through the hair. Where
regular brushes tug, this extension brush
gently glides through hair and extensions
without causing damage.
Brushing technique matters, too. We recommend
detanaling your hair starting at the ends and working your
way up towards the crown as you detangle. Take section
by section and work around your head. If you have a
larger knot and are struggling to detangle it, try spreading
it out with your finger tips first to loosen it up. Once the
knot is spread out a little hold the hair close to the scalp
(to avoid pulling) and it should be easier to brush out.
Brush your hair TWICE a day at minimum.
Styling and Products

Style with Lightweight. Products and Low-


Heat Tools
Use lightweight styling products to manage
the upkeep of your keratin bonded hair
extensions. Heavier products can lead to
stubborn buildup and tangles. They may also
compromise the bonds of your extensions.
Avoid using products containing parabens, sulfates, and
silicones. These chemicals may contribute to residue on
both your hair and extensions. While you can use hot
styling tools on extensions, follow these tips to protect
your. keratin bonded hair extensions:
• Use a lighter heat setting than usual
when styling hair with extensions.

• Avoid exposing the Keratin bond (the top of the


extensions) to direct heat. Too much heat will lead to
damage. DO NOT clamp down directly onto the bonds
with heated styling tools such as flat irons and curling
tools. (This will loosen the glue and may cause the glue to
become sticky and may attach to other strands in the hair)

• Experiment with new ways of showcasing your hair that


don't involve heat styling. You may surprise yourself!
Night Time Routine

NEVER EVER under any circumstances go to bed with WET HAIR! Your
hair will loc up and may not be able to be brushed out. If you experience
this please contact the salon and seek assistance.

Bed time is a great time to do heatless curls. Using this method


significantly cuts down your mornings. Brush you hair before you go to
bed and DO NOT allow your hair to be loose. At minimum make sure
your hair is in a low pony tail.

Here are some pictures to show you different sleep hairstyles that will
give you heatless curls.
