Advice before your extension fitting:
On the day of your application, we ask all clients to wash their hair the day before with a good clarifying shampoo. Apply conditioner to mid-lengths & ends, ensure you blow-dry your hair straight and do not let it dry naturally.
After fitting:
You can lose up to an average of 10 bonds/beads during the duration of your extensions due to natural hair fall. This is perfectly normal and nothing to be concerned about.
Washing:
You can wash your hair more than 2 times a week but lesser is better. When washing your hair make sure you are upright standing in the shower or at a salon basin. NEVER wash your head over the sink to wash your extensions.
The first wash will break down any oils & build-up of dirt or dead skin. The second wash will thoroughly cleanse the hair. Make sure you are using the correct shampoo recommended by your stylist for the best results.
Drying:
Gently towel-dry your extensions to remove the excess water then apply a leave-in conditioner/oil. Ensure you are using the Platinum extension brush & are brushing from the ends up so you are not pulling the hair.
Blast off your hair ensuring the bonds are dry, section off hair & blow-dry each section. Never let your hair dry naturally as this causes shedding.
Platinum recommends that each client follows the aftercare advice as instructed to ensure the longevity of the hair. If other branded products are used, responsibility no longer lies with us. Please do not use products containing silicone, sulphate or alcohol.
How long do platinum hair extensions last?
Generally speaking, platinum hair extensions last up to 3 to 5 months, if you follow all our aftercare recommendations.
How long does it take to get a full head of platinum extensions?
For a full head of hair, it will take our beauty experts anywhere from 2 – 3 hours to fit your hair extensions.
Can I wash my platinum hair extensions?
Yes, however as part of our recommended platinum hair extension aftercare plan please only use sulphate-free shampoo. We also recommend avoiding products containing extracts, oils, wheat protein, silicone or hydrolysed silk.
