Volume Weft At Home Care
In order to gurantee the quality and longevity of your hair extensions, it is important to prebook and schedule maintenance appointments and follow all after care suggestions.
BRUSHING:
Use a BELLAMI boar bristle or wet brush daily to remove any knots or tangles.
***One will be provided after first install**
Hold bonds at the point of attachement to ensure security of extension attachements.
Begin brushing from the ends, carefully working your way up toward the scalp.
Brushing your hair before it gets wet will keep the hair from tangling while washing.
WASHING:
Brush extensions thoroughly before washing to remove any tangles.
Now that your hair is thicker, you may decide to divide the hair into two sections on either side of the head to wash or multiple ponytails and wash section-by-section.
SHAMPOO:
Use a sulfate-free and paraben-free shampoo.
Begin at the scalp and massage shampoo into hair using a "Z" formation. Do not use a circular motion or flip head upside down as this causes tangles.
Part hair and rinse all the way to the scalp. If you used the ponytail method to section hair, rinse one at a time. Follow up with a final rinse.
CONDITION:
Use a sulfate-free and paraben-free conditioner.
Apply conditioner from mid-shaft down to the tips of your hair and leave on for 2-3 minutes. NOTE: Adding conditioner at or near the point of attachment may lead to extensions sliding out.
Rinse completely.
DRYING:
Towel or air dry your hair as much as possible before using a blow dryer.
The use of leave-in conditioners, heat protectants, as well as treatment oils from mid-shaft to ends is recommended to protect your extensions.
Using a blow dryer, rough-dry the hair.
Be sure to dry point of attachment thoroughly.
STYLING TOOLS:
BELLAMI Hair Extensions are safe to use with thermal tools like curling wands, flat irons, etc. Temperature setting depends on your natural hair. You may use between 270F-450F on your extensions as long as proper heat protectants are applied before styling.
PRODUCTS:
Use professional grade products recommended by your Stylist to maintain the health of your natural hair and extensions.
SWIMMING:
Before swimming, wet your hair with fresh tap water and apply a small amount of leave- in conditioner to the ends.
Tie in a loose ponytail or braid.
Once you are finished swimming, shampoo and condition immediately and spray with leave-in conditioner.
SLEEPING:
Brush hair gently and loosely braid before sleeping.
Do not go to bed with wet hair as it can cause tangling close to the scalp. If this occurs, schedule an appointment with your Stylist to remove immediately.
Optional- use a silk Bellami Pillowcase or Bellami night bonnet for less frizziness and less tension on hair
COLORING:
DO NOT ATTEMPT TO COLOR YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS AT HOME. Please consult your certified BELLAMI Stylist for all color services and inquires.
SUNSCREENS:
Avoid use of chemical based sunscreens as this can discolor the hair. Please use mineral based sunscreens only.
DON'TS:
