How to take care of HAIR

---

Glam Haven Hair extensions can last up to more than 2 years or so if they are well taken care of. And if you are going to invest that much money on high quality GLAM HAVEN HAIR extensions, of course you are going to take the best care of them possible. Simply you need to follow these steps:

A) When you receive your shipment remove your product from the package and inspect each piece carefully.

B) Gently rinse your hair extensions with warm water until they are saturated. Apply a generous amount of Shampoo to the hair, while holding the weft at the base, gently shampoo in a downward motion working shampoo from the top down. Rinse thoroughly. Condition hair in same manner and allow time to air dry or sun dry.

C) Distribute a generous amount of Shampoo through your entire scalp and massage your scalp with the tips of your fingers (not your fingernails). Gently shampoo in a downward motion working shampoo from the top down. This rubbing action and the resultant friction will loosen dirt, product residue and dandruff which can then be rinsed away. Thoroughly rinse your scalp afterwards, still massaging with your finger tips as you do so.

D) Conditioning the hair is vital to its maintenance. After you have shampooed and thoroughly rinsed your hair apply a generous amount of Conditioner to the hair. Gently comb hair with a wide tooth comb, to assure even coverage.Rinse conditioner from your hair with Luke -warm water and gently towel or air dry.

E)  Make sure to Shampoo and condition your hair at least once a week .Always substitute conditioner for shampoo during your weekly wash. Wash your hair in a downward motion, working conditioner from the top down in one motion. This is very very important.

F)  Please remember that many shampoos and conditioners contain harsh, drying sulfates that are extremely damaging to hair (ammonium laureth sulfate, ammonium lauryl sulfate, sodium laureth sulfate, sodium lauryl sulfate, etc.). These common detergents found in shampoos make curly hair frizzy and uncooperative. Conditioner can be used sufficiently to clean the hair (see the next step). Also, more gentle shampoos that contain mild cleansers (i.e. cocamidopropyl betaine or coco betaine) can be used occasionally or more often for wavier hair types. Pick an appropriate product for the care of your new hair. Use a good quality shampoo, your stylist can advise you what product is best for your hair.

G)  Always keep your extensions tangle free. Brush or comb gently and avoid any excess tension. Brushing prevents extension matting and tangling, and spreads nourishing oil throughout the extensions. Always comb or brush hair from the bottom up, small sections at a time. The more careful you treat your extensions the longer they will last. Support your attachment when brushing or combing your hair.

H) Heat is your hair’s biggest enemy. The more you use on it, the shorter the life span of your hair. Use heat in moderation. Do not use high temperatures. High temperatures can damage the hair, including  permanently altering the hair texture.

I)  At bedtime, braid hair into two side braids to prevent tangling and matting at the root area or form a bun on top of your head and secure with a soft scrunchie.) A satin pillow helps to keep curled styles fresher for the next day

Important Note:  If you perm, tint, bleach or cellophane the hair, you do it at your own risk. We do not guarantee any hair that has been chemically altered. If you must chemically alter it, then be sure to do a test strand first. This will allow you to test how the hair will hold up to the chemicals.
