Extension Maintenance Guide: Why Using Clean, Low Toxic Products Is Important

At Clean Beauty Boutique, we believe in providing a high-quality, low tox salon experience for our clients. When it comes to maintaining your hand-tied and tape extensions, it is essential to follow a proper at-home hair care routine to ensure their longevity and keep your natural hair healthy. Here's a detailed guide on the hair care products and practices you should follow:

Silicone-Free Products

Using silicone-free products is crucial for extensions as silicone can cause a buildup on the hair, making it heavy and difficult to style. It can also prevent proper hydration and damage the hair over time. We recommend using silicone-free shampoos, conditioners, and styling products to maintain the health and integrity of your extensions.

Hydrating Shampoo and Conditioner

Hand-tied and tape extensions require regular hydration to stay in good condition. We suggest using a hydrating shampoo and conditioner that will nourish and moisturize both your natural hair and the extensions. This will help prevent dryness and keep the hair looking healthy and shiny.

Heat Protectant

Heat styling tools can be damaging to both your natural hair and extensions. To minimize the risk of heat damage, always use a heat protectant spray before using any hot tools. This will create a barrier between the hair and the heat, reducing the potential for breakage and maintaining the longevity of your extensions.

Regular Washing

It is important to wash your hair 2-3 times a week to maintain proper hydration. This will help prevent product buildup, keep the scalp clean, and ensure the extensions remain in good condition. However, it is crucial not to go over a week without washing your extensions, as this can lead to tangling and matting.

Innersense and Oway Products

At Clean Beauty Boutique, we use and recommend Innersense and Oway Organics products for our extensions. These brands offer high-quality, organic, and plant-based hair care products that are free from harmful chemicals, sulfates, and parabens. They provide gentle yet effective cleansing and nourishment for both your natural hair and extensions. Shop products here.

Proper Weft Replacement

With proper care, hand-tied and tape extensions can last up to 10 months. However, it is important to schedule regular appointments for weft replacement to maintain the integrity of the extensions. Our experienced stylists can assess the condition of your extensions and recommend the appropriate time for replacement, ensuring your hair always looks its best.

By following these hair care practices and using the recommended products, you can extend the lifespan of your hand-tied and tape extensions while keeping your natural hair healthy. At Clean Beauty Boutique, we prioritize the use of low tox, clean beauty products to provide you with a salon experience that promotes your overall hair health and sustainability.
