How to wash capsule extensions
Wash in a vertical position, in the shower, without tipping your head forward over a bath. Use a gentle sulphate-free shampoo and massage the scalp between the capsules. Keep heavy oils and rich masks away from the bonds so they do not soften or slip.
Drying and heat styling
Dry the roots and the bonds first so moisture does not sit on the keratin. You can blow-dry, straighten and curl the length, but keep the hot plates a couple of centimetres away from the capsules. Always use heat protection.
Brushing and sleeping
Use a special looped or soft-bristle brush for extended hair and work from the ends upward, holding the roots. Before sleep, gather the hair into a loose braid or low ponytail so it does not tangle overnight. Never sleep with wet hair.
Sea, pool and Dubai sun
You can swim, but rinse with fresh water straight after the sea or a chlorinated pool, then use a leave-in conditioner with UV protection. Salt and chlorine dry the hair out, and a quick rinse stops most of the damage before it starts.
Frequently asked questions
Which shampoo should I use?
A sulphate-free shampoo. Harsh sulphates dry the hair and can loosen the bonds over time.
Can I use a straightener?
Yes, on the length. Keep the hot plates a couple of centimetres away from the keratin capsules.
Can I swim with extensions?
Yes. Rinse with fresh water right after the sea or pool and use a leave-in conditioner.
