Hair Extension Aftercare Secrets
Quick answer: Good aftercare keeps capsule extensions soft, invisible and tangle-free for months. Wash with sulphate-free shampoo in a vertical position, dry the roots and bonds first, brush from the ends up with the right brush, and protect the length from salt and chlorine. Done consistently, these habits are what stretch the extensions to the top of their wear range. Book on WhatsApp.
- A micro capsule is
- a small keratin bond of about 0.4 to 0.5 grams for normal to thick hair, giving natural volume and staying hidden under the top layers.
How do you 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.
How should you dry and heat style extensions?
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.
How should you brush and sleep with extensions?
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.
What about 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.
An invisible bond is not magic but precision: sized to your density and set without tension on the root. Then the result lasts for months.
