Absolutely, you are encouraged to use a "Loop Brush" (can be purchased from us) which provides unique and ongoing benefits from your scalp to the ends and does not get caught on the silicon links.

Q. Can I leave my hair to dry naturally after shampooing and conditioning? You must diligently ensure that the roots of your extensions are dried thoroughly. The ends can be left to dry naturally. Q. What Product do you recommend for me to take care of my extensions? We recommend the X-Ten Products, they are designed to be use on extensions. They can be purchased individually or together as a pack, which includes a loop brush. We also recommend using a nourishing hair mask on the extensions twice a week, leave this on for 5 mins to treat the extensions and then rinse through. Make sure you do not condition the roots of your extensions as this may cause some of the strands to loosen. Q. Can I sleep on wet hair? Always before lying down or going to bed you must ensure your hair is thoroughly dry and either put into a plait, braid or pony tail. This procedure will help prevent any tendency of your hair getting tangled during sleeping periods. We also recommend using a silk pillowcase to sleep on, this ensures the hair does not tangle while sleeping and can extend the life of your extensions. Q. What if I no longer want to continue having the extensions if my hair has grown to the desired length? Make an appointment and we can remove the extensions for you. You should never attempt to remove the extensions yourself as this can damage and put strain on your natural hair. Q.
