Keratin Bond Hair Extension Home Care
- Do not shampoo for 2 days (48 hours). Always shampoo your hair with your head back and not tilted forward. Never dry with a scrubbing action, instead wrap with a towel to absorb water. Always dry bonds to prevent bonds from breaking down quickly.
- Always use Anti-tap on bonds after every wet treatment. If you cannot shampoo immediately when bonds are wet, spray Anti-Tap on the bonds and then dry the bonds. You will still need to shampoo, apply Anti-Tap and dry the bonds as soon as possible.
- Brush Great Lengths three times a day, with recommended oval brush. Do not use a brush with bead bristles! Starting at the nape and working up, brush each row, scalp to ends. If you have curly hair, brush once in the morning and once at night. Use a wide toothed comb to gently remove tangles from mid-shaft to ends. Do not use a comb near the scalp area or the Great Lengths bonds.
- Always put Great Lengths into a loose ponytail or very loose braid while sleeping or during any activity that has your hair blowing in the wind.
- All the above is extremely important to prevent tangling or matting!!
- No tight or high ponytails. Do NOT put ponytails up and leave wet.
- Return to the salon in 2 weeks for a checkup service.
- Curling irons, flat irons and hot rollers may be used, but must be kept an adequate distance from the Great Lengths bond, approximately 1 ½ inches from the attachment site. Or you can hold the attachment between 2 fingers and the thumb then apply the hot tool below them. DO NOT use a hot blow dryer on the bond area, medium heat only.
- Leaving your hair damp for extended periods of time can weaken the bond. When swimming and using saunas it is recommended that you apply Anti-Tap to the bond area first. To minimize the lighter hair colors in Great Length from absorbing sea salt or pool chemicals wet the hair thoroughly then apply conditioner before you get in the water. When finished shampoo, apply Anti-Tap and blow dry as soon as possible.
- Some extension loss is normal and to be expected. Average client hair loss is 50-100 hairs per day. A full head application covers approximately on third of the head. You can expect to see a small quantity of naturally released hairs trapped in the attachments after some time. This is normal and should not be interpreted as hairs pulled out of the scalp by the extensions themselves. Daily brushing close to the scalp and finger separation of the applied strand will avoid matting in this area. Pull rapped hairs back toward the scalp to loosen before separating strands.
