Maintenance

Hair care is essential to maintaining healthy, shiny, beautiful hair. Hair with extensions needs a little extra nourishment and the new Balmain range of Hair Care products has been specifically developed to give the extra nourishment required while keeping the natural hair in perfect condition.

A large soft bristle brush is highly recommended for extensions. This will ensure the hair does not snag and the brush will not catch the extensions. Using the recommended brush will leave the hair shinny and in optimum condition. It is recommended that brushing begin at the end of the hair, then move to the mid length and finally brush the root area at least twice per day. At bedtime gently tie your hair back in a loose braid or twist; this will help prevent potential tangling.

First brush your hair thoroughly, then soak with warm water. It is recommended that you do not turn your head upside down but always wash from the crown down. Next apply Balmain cleansing shampoo. Distribute a normal amount of shampoo at the root area; gently massaging in small circles over the scalp area. This will cleanse both the natural hair and your extensions. Do not scrub the mid-length or ends as these will be cleansed sufficiently during the rinsing process. Rinse thoroughly.

Balmain conditioner is recommended every time the hair is washed. Balmain conditioner is applied to the mid-lengths and ends only. The hair should be gently massaged, distributing the conditioner thoroughly. Do not apply conditioner to the scalp or bonds. Conditioner should be left in for 3 to 10 minutes. Once conditioned, rinse the hair thoroughly with warm water.

The Shine Spray adds a radiant shine to the hair and does not make the hair heavy or oily. The Shine Spray also prevents spit ends and is UV protective. To apply, spray on dry hair and use your hands to work it into the hair. The Shine Spray is highly recommended and is suitable for daily use.

After rinsing squeeze excess water from the hair, then wrap a towel around the head and gently pat the towel to remove moisture from the hair. Avoid rubbing the scalp and hair.

Blow-dry on low heat starting at the ends and working up to finish with the roots. Use your finger tips to help separate the extensions while drying. When the hair is almost dry, you can use your bristle brush. Once dry, you may style using hot rollers, hot sticks, curling irons or hair straighteners. Please note this is for 100% human hair only! Do not use these styling methods on synthetic hair.

As often as you wish, but it is recommended every other day. This will prevent any build up of natural oils on the scalp which could affect the durability of the bond.

Yes you can swim with extensions, but it is recommended that you avoid hair contact with the water by using a swimming cap. If your hair does come in contact with sea water or chlorine, you will need to shampoo your hair and perform your regular hair care maintenance routine.

Yes! If you are involved in daily athletic activities rinse your hair thoroughly with water after exercising and perform your regular hair care with shampoo every other day.
