Some times the extensions cause itching on the scalp, which is caused by the bodies natural response to the added weight and tightness against the scalp. Similar to an allergy. A minor itch should ease in a few days. But its important to know, in rare and extreme cases, the itch is constant and the extensions will need to be removed. ​Below is some tips for comfort
-
Try to wash your hair, and ensure all the shampoo and treatment is removed from the attachments, running the water over them thoroughly, a build up of shampoo will irritate and create an itch.
-
Do not sleep with wet hair, damp hair can harbour bacteria creating more itch.
-
If you are medically allowed, try an anti histamine, please ask your chemist first.
-
Finally, if all the above does not work, and the itch is unbearable, Please remove the extensions. We can do this for you at the salon, however if it is after hours, you can have a friend remove them for you by squeezing the attachments the opposite way with a pair of pliars.

​
COLOURING YOUR EXTENSIONS
We strongly suggest that you do not perm, tint or colour your extensions. As the extensions are multi tone, and coated in a long lasting silky coating, the dye can pick up multi tones, and also dry the extensions out.
If you do wish to dye the extensions, we suggest that the you have them professional dyed, with a technician highly trained in extensions, (even better come and see us!)
Please do not lighten or bleach hair extensions
EVERY DAY ACTIVITIES
For those that use sun beds/tanning, wrap the hair in a towel to avoid damage.
For those who work out regularly or use a steam room/ sauna, you may like to dry your scalp after use, to avoid sweat build up in your braids. A use of a high quality dry shampoo can decrease your need to wash the hair daily.
If you are pregnant, you may like to consider waiting for extensions, as the scalp can become easily irritated, due to hormones.
​
HOLIDAYS AND SWIMMING
We strongly suggest avoiding swimming in pools, spas and beaches with Hair Extensions.
However in the case that you do, following precautions are advised to be taken:
* If you can, tie your hair up and do not get the hair extension wet. Keep your head above water, avoiding diving & under water swimming.
The chlorine present in the pools as well as the salt present in the sea, can matt or discolor the extensions. Salt/chlorine can cause a disintegration of the coating on the extensions, leaving a "stickiness" that promotes tangles.
Some clients have found that applying conditioner then tying the hair into a pony tail, and securing another covered elastic at 2-3 inch sections to the ends.
After swimming, rinse the entire pony tail in fresh water thoroughly.
then remove the first elastic and gently rinse. continue this a section at a time, and then start your wash routine, and finish with a very intense treatment.
