You really need these products

1. mild shampoo - absolute foundation

A Sulphate-, paraben- and silicone-free shampoo is mandatory if you wear extensions.

Why?

• Gently cleanses
• Does not dry out the extensions
• Does not attack keratin bondings and tapes
• Gentle on scalp and own hair

Application tip:
Only work the shampoo into the roots, the lengths are automatically cleansed when rinsing.

2. nourishing mask - moisturising for lengths & tips

As extensions are not supplied with nutrients via the scalp, a high-quality mask is essential. This must also sulphate-, paraben- and silicone-free be.

Recommendation:

• With every hair wash
• only in lengths & tips
• not on the connection points

A good mask:
✔ Prevents dryness
Reduces frizz
✔ Keeps the hair supple

3. hair oil - the key to combating dry ends

Hair oil is one of the most important products for extensions - but is often underestimated.

Advantages:

• Moisture for the extensions
• Less friction
• Easier brushing
• Protection against knotting
• Improved wearing comfort
• Less frizz

Perfect:

• after washing
• In dry or slightly damp hair
• before sleeping
• before brushing

Important: The hair oil must also not contain any sulphates, parabens or silicones.

4. the right extension brush

Normal brushes are unsuitable for extensions and can:

• Loosen bonding
• Pull out hair
• cause unnecessary hair loss

A special extension brush:
Protects the connection points
✔ Glides gently through the lengths
✔ Detangles without tugging

5. heat protection - when you style

Heat without protection is one of the biggest enemies of extensions.

Good heat protection:

• Contains no sulphates, parabens or silicones
• Protects against dehydration
• Prevents split ends
• maintains the lustre

Important: Apply to lengths & tips only - not directly on the connection points.

You do NOT need these products - or should avoid them

1. anti-dandruff shampoos

These are:

• Strongly cleansing
• often alcoholic
• Very drying

👉 For extensions absolutely unsuitable.

2. deep cleansing & detox products

These products attack the hair structure and significantly shorten the life of extensions.

3. too many products at once

Too many care products lead to:

• Residues
• heavy hair
• faster regreasing
• Increased risk of matting

👉 The following applies to extensions: Quality instead of quantity.
