Venus Hair Extensions

Hair extensions have been around for some time now but only recently have we seen a spike in interest possibility due in part to their popularity amongst Instagram influencers and wider access through cheaper application and maintenance services provided by qualified home technicians like myself.

Your top quality, 100% human Remy Hair is an investment in you, your crowning glory, your identity.

Once the hair extensions have been applied to your head, you enter a whole new world of long, shiny, high volume hair and to keep it beautiful, strong and reusable up to, and even beyond the 12 month life expectancy, follow the tips and advice set out below:

1. Avoid washing or wetting your hair for 48-72 hours after application and any maintenance sessions.

2. Never go to sleep with your hair wet as this will break down the glue and bonds of the hair extensions.

3. Avoid twisting or playing with the seals or extensions as they may loosen and fall out.

4. Do not use protein or keratin based products, or hair-repair products on your hair extensions as these will cause the extensions to frizz and dry out.

5. Do please read the labels and ingredients listed on your hair care products carefully and thoroughly before using.

6. Gently de-tangle your hair using an ionic Tangle Teezer brush to remove static before washing.

7. When washing your extensions, use recommended products or a gentle shampoo & conditioner that is free of sulphates and parabens.

8. Any oil-based products should be used from the ears down to avoid slippage of tapes or microbeads.

9. When washing your hair, split the hair in two sections over your shoulders to make it easier. Use your fingers to gently massage your scalp, mid-strands and work your way to the ends.

10. After washing, gently towel dry then blow dry your hair on low to medium heat.

11. Limit washing your hair to no more than 2-3 times a week.

12. Braid your hair securely before swimming or exercising to prevent hair from knotting.

13. Apply Moroccan Oil daily to keep your extensions hydrated. Use also on damp hair before drying and styling to lock in moisture.

14. Do not apply heat directly to the roots or bonds when curling, ironing or blow drying your hair as this can cause microbeads to heat up, breakdown of tape glue and slippage of the hair extensions.

16. Always wear your gear in a loose braid or tie it in a low ponytail when sleeping to prevent accidental pulling on the bonds during sleep.

17. Always tilt your head backwards when washing your hair extensions

18. After swimming or exercising, wash and dry your hair thoroughly to remove chlorine, saltwater and sweat as these substances can cause frizzing and matting in your hair extensions. Remember to blow dry the roots of your hair thoroughly on low to medium heat after wetting.

19. As the hair is already heavily processed, it is no recommended to tint, colour, bleach or perm your hair extensions.

20. Use an ionic brush to keep your hair extensions tangle free and prevent pulling or breakage of hair strands while brushing.

Following these instructions should ensure you get the longest use and best value out of your hair extensions.
