How to Care for Your NBR™ Extensions AT HOME
How to Care for Your NBR™ Extensions
Follow these instructions and tips to keep your extensions looking their best after you have left the salon.
Washing
✶ Before washing in the shower, be sure to brush your extensions with a detangling brush. This helps prevent deep tangling and matting - (ouch!).
✶ Washing with a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner will help prolong your extensions and color for longer.
✶ Shampoo gently in between your extension rows, making sure to avoid any vigorous scrubbing.
✶ To maintain your locks hydrated, apply a leave in conditioner+oil combo after washing and before brushing your hair.
✶ While your hair is still wet, be sure to start from the ends and work your way up to the scalp. Hold the hair in one hand in a ponytail style and brush down. You want to try your best to prevent tugging on your hair.
✶ To freshen up your locks in-between washes, it is safe to use dry shampoo.
✶ I am currently loving the Goldie Locks® hair care line, which is sulfate-free and extension friendly. You can shop the entire hair care collection here.
Styling
✶ Before styling, be sure to rough dry your hair 80% dry. Avoid tugging on your extensions with a comb or a brush to prevent damage and use your hands or fingers instead.
✶ Above info applies to your DRY BAR visits as well. Make sure to communicate to your stylist to NOT round brush your hair from start to finish.
✶ Once your hair is rough-dry, you may use a round brush and a small amount of tension to smooth out your hair and extensions during the last few minutes of your blow-dry.
✶ When curling your extensions, be sure to use a heat protector and to run the curling iron through the extension hair once or twice before adding curls. This will close the cuticle of the hair, prolong the life of your extension hair, and give you a polished look.
✶ Make sure to avoid rubber hair ties and use these instead.
Sleeping
✶ Before getting your beauty sleep, brush the extension hair and apply some hair oil.
✶ Styling your hair before bed is also key to maintaining your extensions looking your best. For. Best results, put your hair up in a loose bun or braid and voila you’re ready for bed!
✶ For extra protection, sleeping on silk pillow cases helps avoid friction and damage to your hair.
Extra Tips To Keep In Mind...
✶ If you notice excess tangling or hair shed, please contact your stylist as there are quick fixes when addressed right away.
✶ Whether your a beach babe and spend most of your time out in the sun or hit the gym on a regular basis - life with NBR extensions doesn’t stop. Just be sure to treat them gently to keep them looking their best!
✶ Avoid sunscreen and suntan oil from touching your hair extensions (especially blondes), as this can turn the hair a peachy color.
