Make it last

Wash gently with lukewarm water and a sulphate-free shampoo. Avoid rubbing or tangling the hair, and condition from mid-length to the ends.

Rinse thoroughly and gently squeeze out excess water.

Air-dry where possible. If you use a hairdryer or styling tools, use a heat protectant and the lowest effective heat setting. 

Follow the instructions for your styling tools and ask your stylist if you are unsure.

Keep the hair gently detangled and store it clean and dry in a satin bag.

Wear a satin bonnet when sleeping to help reduce friction and tangling.

Speak to a stylist experienced with extensions before colouring. Ask them to test a small section first; results vary by texture, treatment and the colour you want.

Follow their aftercare advice and avoid repeated chemical processing.
