How to Take Care for Hair Extensions – A Complete Hair Extension Guide for Ladies
* Washing Your Human Hair Extensions
Advisable to wash your human hair extensions no more than twice a week. You want to keep them clean so oil does not make the hair extensions slip. Sulphate free shampoo is recommended
Always apply the conditioner to mid lengths to ends, never on roots. This will make your hair greasy quicker and can slightly soften the bonds which can cause the bonds to slip
When the conditioner is on, use a wide tooth comb and start combing from the bottom upwards to avoid any tangling and pulling on the hair. Hair extensions applied properly are very strong. However they are still attached to your hair and need to be treated gentler than your own hair. Pre-bonded hair human hair extensions are not difficult to look after, you just need to gently adapt your existing hair care routine.
• VERY IMPORTANT to separate your Great Lengths Hair Extension bonds
This is the most important part of your aftercare routine.
On average you loose approximately 100 -150 hairs a day naturally.
When you have hair extensions, the dead hair you naturally loose sits on top of the individual bonds.
You will need to separate each bond with your fingers to ensure they are sitting separately. This only takes minutes. This will prevent the bonds from tangling at the root, and keep your hair looking great and in top condition for the time you have them in until you remove them in 4 months.
By not separating your bonds is the number one cause of tangled hair extensions.
* BRUSH YOUR HAIR EXTENSIONS GENTLY
Take time to slowly brush your hair, removing any tangles patiently without pulling on the hair extensions. Either use a paddle brush or a wide tooth comb and hold the hair and brush from the bottom up.
Never brush your hair extensions when hair is wet. Only use a wide tooth comb.
* Do not sleep with wet hair extensions.
If you have wet or damp hair extensions before going to sleep this will cause tangling and matting when you wake up.
* Tie your human hair extensions before you sleep or going to the gym
To make your hair easy to brush in the morning, it is highly recommended to tie your hair in a low ponytail before you sleep with soft fabric scrunchies,not with an elastic band.
This will make brushing and styling your hair in the morning easy and tangle free.

Great Lengths Hair Extensions and Gold Fever Hair Extensions have a huge following and are the top quality in the market.

▪ NEVER go to sleep with wet hair, always make sure your extensions and bonds are dry before sleeping.
▪ Take care of your human hair extensions as you would your own natural hair and remember that like your natural hair your extensions can be easily damaged with too much heat or abuse.
▪ When drying your hair, never rub or scrub with a towel . Simply wrap hair in a towel or air dry if possible.
▪ Wait until hair is completely dry before combing or brushing.
▪ We advise never to sleep with wet or damp hair as it could affect the bonds or may cause the hair to tangle whilst asleep (or even matting)
▪ You can use styling products but avoid Hair Spray at all costs
▪ If you straighten the hair with straighteners, make sure you don’t use on the bonds and use from mid-length to the end of the hair, Otherwise the heat on the bonds will cause them to loosen and eventually come out. Avoid overuse of straighteners as like natural hair this will make the extensions very dry which will shorten the life of the human hair extensions.
