How do I properly look after the DIAMOND hair extensions?
It’s essential that you regularly comb through the extensions. Don’t be startled if you find hair in your comb though! On average, a person loses between 80 to 100 strands of hair and with extensions you’ll have more hair, and therefore lose some more. So, no worries!
Caring for DIAMOND hair extensions is easy. Make sure to brush it through before washing your hair because this removes impurities and makes washing the hair easier. There’s no special technique to washing extensions, just do what you’re used to! Just make sure to wash it downwards instead of wild and across. The weave gets no natural nourishment from your body, which means you have to use proper hair care products.
It’s important to apply a good conditioner and we recommend REDKEN ‘All Soft’. Rinse it out thoroughly and brush your hair. It’s best to wash your hair twice a week, and to apply a hair mask to the extensions once a week for extra treatment. If you’ve applied a mask, follow it up with conditioner to make the hair even softer.
Please note: Apply conditioner and/or a hair mask to the length and ends of the hair, and not to the scalp or braid.
Let your hair air dry and style it with a blow-dryer or curling iron. It’s important to use heat protection to protect your hair from drying out. A blow-dry gives the hair a polish and a lovely shine, and it closes the hair follicles, which prevents tangles and frizzy hair. Make sure the braid(s) are dried properly, it’s best to dry your hair from the bottom to the top layers. Once you’re done you can apply some serum to the ends of your hair to get a beautiful result.
Tips:
- Never blow-dry your hair upside down because you’ll be going against the grain of the hair follicles, which can cause tangles.
- Before going to bed either braid your hair or put it in a bun on the top of your hair. NEVER go to bed, or lie down on the couch, with wet hair.
