My Personal Routine


Color: Utah Blonde


My personal routine after washing the Lock'n Long hair extensions with Salon quality Shampoo & Conditioner (I wash every 4-5 days):
  1. Leave-in Conditioner/ Oil treatment
  2. Roll damp hair in huge Velcro rollers
  3. Air dry (As long as possible)
  4. Apply "Thermal Heat Spray"
  5. Blowdry (Low heat settings)
  6. Flat Iron (to tame the extensions)
  7. I usually leave straight the first 2 days then by day 3-5 I curl them.

I use good ol' baby powder as my "dry Shampoo" and apply to roots so I can go 4-5 days without washing my hair.

Sleeping: Always high ponytail (by forehead) and secure with a clip.  Or if it's curled: a High loose bun (by forehead) and secure with a clip. This is for comfort as the rows get flipped upward along with making less  of a tangled mess!

Other tips:
While by nature long hair tends to tangle more easily than short hair, tangling and frizzes can be prevented or minimized by proper care and maintenance.Since human hair extensions are prone to heat and dryness damage, it is recommended to use moisturizing and repairing shampoos, conditioners or leave-in creams . We strongly recommend using moisturizing and nourishing oils or shine sprays (e.g., Moroccanoil, sleek- serum CHI) to keep hair extensions silky and less likely to tangle when combing or styling. Avoid teasing or back combing extensions. On the market professional brand care products have ingredients to restore or replenish moisture to hair but cheaper products tend to use fillers like silicone that just smooth hair but create buildup on hair.
If the hair gets frizzy or dry looking, apply or spray the above mentioned conditioners or oils; make sure all moisture is out of hair extensions prior to style and applications. The hair needs to be treated very often with moisture oils due to the fact the extensions do not have a healthy scalp to nourish it.
If tangling has occurred, remove wefts from your hair and brush out knots by gently combing or brushing from below to release tangles. Spray shine or use oil to prevent re-occurrence.
