NBR Home Care Guide
What you need to know after your first visit
-
Wash
•Brush out extensions with a Wet Brush or ISLA Brush before getting into the shower. This helps to prevent tangles and matting.
•Use a sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to prolong your hair color and the extension color as well.
•Shampoo gently between rows, no need for vigorous scrubbing.
•Use your recommended leave-in + oil combo right after your shower and before you brush out your hair with the ISLA brush or Wet Brush.
•When brushing wet hair, start from your ends and work your way up to the scalp. Hold the hair in one hand (like a ponytail) and brush down. -
Style
•Rough dry your hair 80% of the way (meaning no tugging on the extensions with a round brush, just use your hands / fingers *This means DRY BARS as well. Make sure to communicate to whoever is styling your hair to NOT round brush your hair from start to finish.
•You can use a round brush and a small amount of tension to smooth your hair and the extension hair the last few minutes of your blow-dry.
•If curling your extensions, run the extension hair through the curling iron to smooth the hair once or twice before placing the curls. This will give your extensions a more polished look, close the cuticle, and prolong the extension hair. Make sure you are using your recommended heat protectant before hand! -
Sleep
•Brush the extension hair out and then place in a loose pony or braids.
