Not Just Wigs Remy Human Hair Extension Care Guide

Pre-glued, pre-tipped, keratin pre-bondedor wefted remy human hair extensions are hot now. Fusion heat wand, basic fusion, microlink or sew/glued in weaving, it doesn't matter the method - they are in high demand! After 19 years in the industry we get asked the same question over and over. "How do I take care of extensions once they are in?" and "What should I do to get the most time out of this investment?" are the top two questions. We have put together these tips for you so you can get the most out of these products. As with anything, individual results will vary and you should check with the gepany you purchased hair from for any removal information or individual products necessary to their product. These tips work wonderfully with our products and many others. If you have more specific questions, you can contact us through Not Just Wigs Storefrontand we will be happy to assist you.

The day before (approximately 24 hours) you are applying your extensions, prepare your own hair for the process. Wash thoroughly with a Clarifying Shampoo and do not use styling products on your hair. You want your hair to be as clean as possible and free of oil or alcohol residues. This will ensure the best possible seal of the bond if using a heat process or give you a more secure base with a microlink.
When applying the hair, be sure to roll the melted glue very tightly for a heat process. When using microlinks, make sure you apply enough pressure to tighten. This will keep you from getting any water or oils inside the bond itself. Properly sealing during application is very important.
Do not shampoo your hair for 48 hours after application. This gives the bonds time to set.
Only use oil-free shampoo and conditioner on your extensions. Never use any hair care products containing oil of any kind. Please read ingrediaent lists carefully. Many name brand salon and drugstore products are mainly oil.
The extension hair as well as your own hair should only be shampooed and conditioned twice a week. In between cleaning, rinse with cool water if necessary.
If you use hair spray or other styling products, avoid using those that contain alcohol. These products will dry out the extension hair.
Be sure to brush the extensions and remove all tangles before shampooing. This short step is useful in preventing knots that can get locked in the hair from the water. When you geb your hair always work from the bottom up, gently gebing out tangles. Use a wide tooth geb or looped hair brush when brushing your hair to avoid pulling at the bonds.
When washing the hair, always wash it in a downward motion. Do not mix it all together and create unnecessary tangles. Use your fingers in a horizontal motion between wefts to clean your scalp. When rinsing, do the same to be sure that all shampoo and conditioner residue are washed out. Also, try not to pour your shampoo or conditioner onto the top of your head. You are adding unnecessary products directly to the bonds and letting it soak in. Pour into your hands and slowly work the right amount of product in.
Although the extension hair is real, it is not receiving nutrients from the scalp like your own hair. Heat is your hair extension's biggest enemy. The more you use on it, the shorter the life span of your hair. We cannot guarantee that the hair will remain silky if you use the blow dryer or curling iron. If you must use heat, be sure you use an oil free leave-in conditioner first. We also regemend that for curling the hair, you use steamrollers such as Caruso's or Vidal Sassoon's molecular steam rollers.
When you sleep, we highly regemend that you wrap, braid or ponytail all your hair together to prevent tangling. This will save time that would otherwise be spent untangling the following morning.

These are regemendations from our gepany to help you get the most wear time out of your investment. Following them is up to you. If you have questions please email us. Thank you.
