Products to Avoid
Do not use ANY products containing the following ingredients on hair extension wefts! They will cause damage. Always read the ingredient label before applying.
- Quaternium 80,95,16 – Encourages a fast-acting blow-dry and will cause hair breakage.
- Dimethicone only if followed by Dimethiconol. Do not use if only Dimethicone.
- Sodium Hydroxide – It is lye.
- Silicone-based products that are not water-soluble will adhere to the hair.
- Protein-dominant-based products – Hair becomes brittle and will break.
- Olaplex – it’s a bond-building product, protein-based.
- Sunscreen with Avobenzone (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) – It will turn extensions orange. We always advise using caution when using any sunscreen.
- Moroccan Oil – It will turn hair color orange.
- Any product that contains Coconut/Coconut Oil - It will mat or tangle hair.
Client Education
After initial installation, educate your client on approved hair care products and how to properly brush their hair. Not all "expensive" hair care products are good for hair extensions. Please refer them to our Hair Care page if that is helpful. Remember, this is a new journey for them.
Be sure your client leaves your salon educated and with the proper tools/products so they can maintain their fabulous new hair at home.
