Daily Washing guide
Wash Wisely
Max 2x/week with color-safe shampoo：Adjust based on scalp type: oily scalps may cleanse roots every other day, while dry scalps benefit from dry shampoo between washes.
Temperature Mastery
Use lukewarm water (38°C/100°F)：Implement ‘thermal cycling’: Start with warm water to open cuticles, finish with cool rinses to seal them. Lab tests confirm this boosts color retention by 27%.
Product Selection Secrets
Choose color-protecting shampoos：Prioritize formulas with Polyquaternium-10 (creates electrostatic shield). Avoid dimethicone-heavy products that cause buildup on bonds.
Conditioner Application
Apply conditioner mid-lengths to ends：Try the ‘reverse conditioning’ method: Pre-treat ends with conditioner BEFORE shampooing. Particularly effective for extensions damaged by bleaching.
Black Hair Running Off🖤
Why It Happens:
- Improper sealing during manufacturing
- Heat exposure opening cuticles
Color-Saving Hacks:
- Pre-wash ritual: Soak new black extensions in 1:3 vinegar-water solution
- Cold love: Always rinse with cool water to seal cuticles
- Barrier method: Use color-locking sprays before heat styling
The Chemistry Behind The Change:
- Mineral buildup from hard water
- Heat tools accelerating oxidation
- Sulfates stripping away cool tones
Brass-Be-Gone Toolkit:
- Weekly detox: Clarify with apple cider vinegar rinse
- Thermal armor: Never style above 300°F without protectant
- Tone it down: Use blue shampoo 1x/week for ashy tones
Brown Hair Fading 🤎
Blonde Hair Turning Brassy💛
Why Did Blondes Change：
- UV rays breaking down artificial pigments
- Chlorine creating greenish tones
- Product buildup causing yellowing
Platinum Protection Plan:
- Swim smart: Coat hair in conditioner before pools
- Sun shield: UV-protectant hair serums are mandatory
- Purple power: Maintain brightness with violet shampoo
Mistakes to Avoid
Overusing dry shampoo
Magnesium carbonate absorbs natural oils, causing extension fibers to crack.
Combing from roots
Start detangling 10cm below bonds using loop brushes to prevent traction damage.
Ignoring water hardness
Calcium in hard water creates dull mineral film. Install shower filters if TDS exceeds 150.
Mixing products
Silicones + proteins = clumps. Separate protein treatments 72h from dimethicone.
