UP-KEEP
Wash at a minimum of 2 times per week with a Davines shampoo and conditioner. This will keep your extensions and scalp in a healthy condition. Brush your extensions and natural hair at a minimum of 2 times per day. Use Davines’ Oi - All In-One Milk leave-in conditioner and Davines’ Oi - oil to help with tangles. Staying on top of brushing will keep your extensions and natural hair from deep tangles. Brushing will also help with the longevity of your extensions and help prevent your natural hair from breaking.
*When coming in for a service at Angela Flint Hair it is required that your extensions and natural hair be fully brushed out and free from any tangles prior to your appointment. If you come in with your hair tangled or matted I have the right to refuse service and your deposit will be non-refundable.
PRODUCTS
At a minimum use a Davines shampoo and conditioner 2 times per week and Oi - All In-One Milk leave-in conditioner and or Oi - oil daily.
PRE-WASHING
Use Davines’ Oi - All In-One Milk leave-in conditioner to detangle. Hold bottle12 inches away and spray mid-lengths and ends. Gently brush your extensions and natural hair. When brushing hold your hair in partial pony-tale sections and brush section by section, starting from the bottom working your way up. When you get to the top press your row to your head in a secure position while brushing.
WASHING
Clip your extensions and natural hair up in 3 sections. Gently wash each section. Use your Davines shampoo sparingly. Let each section down as you complete the one prior. Clip the top 2 sections back up and rinse out each section thoroughly. Gently squeeze out as much water as you can and towel dry. Lastly, condition your extensions and natural hair with your Davines conditioner. When conditioning focus on your mid-lengths and ends. (You can rake through your scalp what’s left over on your hands.) Let the conditioner sit for 3-5 minutes and rinse thoroughly. Gently squeeze out as much water as you can & towel dry.
DRYING
Spray Davines’ All In-One Milk leave-in conditioner on your mid-lengths and ends before gently brushing out your extensions and natural hair. Towel dry again then apply Davines’ Oi oil from mid-lengths to ends and let air dry or gently blow-dry. When blow-drying, clip your extensions and natural hair up in 3 sections and dry from the base of your head to mid-lengths to ends. Use your hand to control each section, dry to 90%. Use a round brush or a paddle brush with minimal tension to finish drying and smoothing out your extensions and natural hair.
STYLING
When you’re curling your hair, run the iron through each section once or twice to smooth it down before placing the curl. This will give your extensions a more polished look and prolong your extension hair.
SLEEPING
Brush your extensions and natural hair out and place in two loose braids. If needed use your Davines’ Oi All In-One Milk, or OI Oil to detangle.
OTHER
After a few washes your extension hair will expand, giving it a more realistic hair texture. If you notice any excessive tangling or shedding contact me right away, these are quick fixes if addressed immediately. You can live a normal active lifestyle with NBR, just treat your extensions with some gentleness to keep them looking their best. Enjoy your NBR!
*Avoid getting sunscreen in your extensions as it may cause them to turn a peach color and I will not be able to fix them for you. The only solution will be to replace them at full cost.
