REBEL HAIR
EXTENSION GUIDE
You are responsible for your extensions as soon as they are installed. To protect your investment, we have outlined a few key steps you will need to take to maintain the life of your extensions.
Use a Wet brush or hair extension brush to brush your extensions.
Always brush gently, first detangling the ends then brush from roots to tips. Always brush your hair in the morning, at night, and throughout the day as needed.
Wash extensions once a week with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Section your hair into two sections (split down the middle) and wash hair in a downward motion and make sure you wash in between each row. When applying conditioner, run the conditioner through the mids and ends of your hair, avoiding the beaded weft area right at the scalp. Heavy protein or silicone-based conditioners can cause the hair to tangle. Always brush hair before and after washing. We have found that Moroccanoil products work best with our extensions.
After washing, wrap a towel around hair and pat gently to remove excess water. Spray a detangler/leave-in conditioner on your damp hair and brush. Blow-dry the top of the weft on a cool setting so it does not hold moisture. It is best to not sleep with soaking wet hair.
Braid your hair before bed.
Use a hair oil on your ends twice a day and a deep conditioning treatment once a week.
Remember, Rebel Hair Extensions are 100% human hair. Hot tools can be used but avoid touching the hot tools directly to the top of the weft where the beads are. Just like our natural hair, the extensions do get dry over time. Always use a heat protectant. The less heat you use, the longer your extensions will last.
When swimming, coat your hair in conditioner and wear in a braid. Chlorine and saltwater can cause the extensions to tangle/matte and can also alter the color of your extension.
Avoid getting sunscreen on your extensions.
Extensions can be colored with a demi-permanent at your own risk, but they should never be bleached.
Maintenance appointments are recommended every 7-8 weeks depending on the client.
