At Kara's we will continue to support you after your hair extensions have been put in. We are available to answer any questions you might have, and will arrange a free maintenance check-up in the salon approximately 4 - 6 weeks after your initial appointment.


Looking after your hair extensions is easy – however to maintain and provide the longest lasting and optimum results we provide you with information and also a maintenance check. Please book a maintenance check-up with your hair extension specialist if this hasn't already been done.

Some basic steps to follow are listed below:

Washing your hair

  • Do not shampoo your hair for at least 48 hours after your extensions have been applied to allow the bond to set
  • Always use Great Lengths aftercare products as these have been specifically designed to prolong the life and appearance of your hair extensions
  • Always follow the directions on the bottle
  • Shampoo and condition your hair at least once a week
  • Finish by rinsing your hair in diluted Final Rinse Anti Tap to restore your hairs pH value

Drying your hair
  • Always dry your hair thoroughly, starting at the bond, as it is at its most vulnerable when wet
  • Do not towel dry the hair with a scrubbing motion. Instead, use a blotting motion and wrap the hair in a towel to remove excess moisture
  • Always blow dry your hair on a cool/warm temperature

Brushing
  • Great Lengths flat headed, soft bristle brushes are the most suitable for brushing your hair
  • With small sections of hair gently brush from the bonds to the ends of the hair
  • Do not comb between the scalp and the bond. On a regular basis, separate the bonds with your fingers to prevent matting

Styling and finishing

  • Styling products such as Great Lengths Styling Glaze can only be applied to the lengths and ends of your hair and not the bond itself
  • The Great Lengths round brush can be used for blow drying
  • Straighteners, tongs and heated rollers can be used, however they must be kept away from the bond area

Sleeping

  • We recommend you tie your hair in a loose pony tail to prevent tangling while sleeping

Exercise and your lifestyle

Extensions suit most lifestyles, however be mindful in the following circumstances which may affect the lifespan of your bonds, or in fact, cause them to breakdown:
  • Regular swimming, particularly in sea water and chlorinated water
  • Regular sauna or steam room use
  • Excessive aerobic activity
  • After these activities use diluted Great Lengths Final Rinse Anti-Tap solution to restore your hair and scalp to it's natural pH balance. Remember to always dry the bonds thoroughly
