Prolonging the Lifespan of your Extensions
The lifespan of hair extensions depends on the aftercare it receives. One cannot guarantee an exact lifespan on any kind of extensions due to it being a natural consumable product. However if you follow our care instructions, you will have long lasting hair extensions.
We don't recommend any silver shampoos other than our Sheek Hair Blonde Me Shampoo as other brands may dry out the hair and effect the lifespan of your hair extensions. We also don't recommend using any permanent colour on your hair extensions. Any colouring is done entirely at your own risk. Lighter shades may have shorter lifespan due to the colour treatments performed, and will require extra treatments and less heat application to prolong the lifespan.
Wash your hair with Sheek Hair Sulphate Free Shampoo or Sheek Hair Extensions Blonde Me Shampoo no more than twice a week. Sleep on a satin pillow case.
Take care of your hair extensions as you would your natural hair and remember that just like your own hair your extensions can too get damaged with excesive heat and misuse of hair products.

Drying and Styling Your Hair Extensions
You should brush your hair throughout the day to avoid natural knotting.
We strongly recommend using heat protection spray before styling your hair extension to prevent them from damaging. Your heat tools shouldnt be higher than 180*, this is to prevent any water in the cuticles from boiling and forming blisters on the hair shaft
Keep in mind that it could become very easy to over product your hair extension and this is when they become dryer and start matting and even start breaking.
Hair extensions are not a wash-and-go lifestyle.
You need to heat style them for the sleek and soft finish.

Never sleep with wet extensions as this will cause matting.
Put your hair in a top bun or loose braid before hitting the sack.
