Hair Extensions Care Instructions
Hair Extensions Care Instructions
Please read all Care Instructions before applying the extensions
Before application:
-
Wash your natural hair with a clarifying (anti-residue) shampoo.
-
Avoid heavy treatments such as deep conditioning, keratin, or botox before the application, as they can affect proper adhesion.
After application:
-
Wait at least 48 hours before washing your hair.
-
Use sulfate-free shampoo and a hydrating mask once a week.
-
Gently brush your hair before showering.
-
Apply conditioner only from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the attachment areas.
-
After washing, gently towel-dry, apply a leave-in conditioner, and brush carefully.
-
Apply oil only to the ends, up to twice a day.
-
For light/blonde hair, use purple shampoo or a purple mask once a week.
Heat styling:
-
Use heat tools with a maximum temperature of 180°C / 356°F.
-
Never use a blow dryer or curling iron on hair that has oil or leave-in products. Always wash the hair before applying heat.
-
Avoid drying your hair upside down.
-
Brush your hair at least twice a day, starting from the ends, using a soft-bristle brush.
Chemical products, environment & color changes:
-
Always do a strand test before any chemical service.
-
Extensions have already gone through bleaching and coloring processes.
-
Chlorine, salt water, sun exposure, and even shower water can cause fading or color changes, especially in lighter shades.
-
We recommend using a shower filter and consulting a professional colorist when needed.
Sunscreen (very important for light hair):
-
Avoid spray sunscreens that may come into contact with the hair.
-
Do not use sunscreens containing avobenzone or octocrylene, as they can cause oxidation and turn the hair orange or reddish, especially in summer or tropical areas.
-
Prefer mineral sunscreens with titanium dioxide and zinc oxide.
Sleeping & physical activities:
-
Tie your hair in a braid or ponytail before sleeping or exercising.
-
Never sleep with wet extensions.
-
Use a silk or satin pillowcase to extend the life of your extensions.
Specific care:
-
If you are wearing keratin extensions, we do not recommend cutting more than 30% of the bonds.
Technical analysis & procedure in case of an issue:
If any issue occurs—such as color change, excessive dryness, or any other concern—R Hair Extensions will:
-
Collect the extensions or a hair sample for technical analysis.
-
This analysis helps identify the cause, including possible effects from products, heat, sunscreen, ocean, pool, or improper use.
-
Within a few days, we will provide feedback and guidance. This process is essential to offer proper support and prevent the issue from happening again.

Any issue must be reported within 14 days of purchase.
-
Purchases made in-store are not refundable; exchanges are allowed only with a receipt and unused product.
