SEISETA Hair Extensions are crafted from natural hair, much like your own, and do not receive nourishment from your scalp. Proper care and maintenance are essential to keeping your extensions looking vibrant, shiny, and smooth. SEISETA offers a range of products in our HAIR CARE line specifically designed to maintain the quality of your extensions. By following these tips, you can ensure your extensions remain in excellent condition for an extended period.

 

Brush Your Hair 2-3 Times a Day

Brushing your extensions 2-3 times daily helps close the hair cuticles and reduces the stress your hair endures throughout the day. Environmental factors such as sun exposure, wind, rain, smog, and humidity can contribute to frizz and dryness. Regular brushing minimizes these effects, keeping your extensions looking their best.

Brush Carefully

For best results, use SEISETA professional brushes, which feature both soft and hard bristles. These brushes are specially designed to detangle, massage, and soften your hair, helping to prevent knots and tangles. Brushing with care will also help distribute natural oils evenly, contributing to a healthier appearance.

Detangle Before Washing

Always ensure your hair is thoroughly detangled before wetting it. This step prevents tangling and matting, making washing and conditioning easier and more effective. Use a wide-toothed comb or your fingers to gently remove knots before applying any water or products.

Use a Shampoo Specifically for Hair Extensions

When washing your extensions, use a gentle shampoo specifically formulated for hair extensions, such as our Clarifying Daily Shampoo. Apply the shampoo by massaging and patting the hair while following the direction of the cuticles. Avoid vigorous rubbing, as this can cause tangling and frizz. Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water to ensure all product residue is removed.

Apply a Nourishing Conditioner

After shampooing, apply a generous amount of Deep Nourishing Mask while the hair is still damp. Distribute the conditioner evenly through the hair, focusing on the ends where extensions are most prone to dryness. Gently massage the product into the hair and use a wide-toothed comb to detangle, starting from the tips and working your way up. Allow the conditioner to sit for 2-3 minutes before rinsing with cool water.

Pat Dry

After rinsing, avoid rubbing the hair with a towel. Instead, gently pat it dry to preserve the natural closing of the cuticles. Excessive rubbing can lead to tangling and damage. Use a soft, absorbent towel and be gentle to maintain the integrity of your extensions.

Apply HYDR8 Conditioner for Extra Protection

In special circumstances such as swimming, visiting saunas, or before going to bed, apply a few drops of HYDR8 conditioner to the ends of your hair. Gather the hair into a ponytail or braid to protect it from excessive dehydration caused by salt, sweat, or chlorine. This step helps to maintain moisture levels and prevent damage from these elements.

Choose the Right Sunscreen

To protect your extensions from sun damage and discoloration, opt for mineral SPF sunscreens instead of conventional ones. Mineral sunscreens do not contain Avobenzone and Octocrylene, which can cause unwanted discoloration and damage to your extensions.

Follow These Additional Tips:

Never Rub Wet Hair: Rubbing wet hair can lead to tangling and breakage due to the open cuticles. Always handle wet hair gently.
Avoid Sleeping with Wet Hair: Going to bed with wet hair can cause tangling and damage. Ensure your hair is completely dry before sleeping.
Use Heat Wisely: If using a flat iron or other heat styling tools, keep the temperature below 180°C to prevent excessive heat damage. High temperatures can harm both natural and extension hair.
Avoid Harsh Chemical Treatments: Do not use chemical products that lighten or straighten your extensions. These treatments can compromise the quality and integrity of your extensions, leading to damage and discoloration.

By following these guidelines and using the recommended SEISETA® products, you can enjoy beautiful, well-maintained hair extensions that enhance your look and stay in excellent condition.
