Daily Maintenance
Brushing Monroe Extensions
-
Section your hair: separate your rows of wefts or split your hair into different sections. This ensures that your brushing is efficient and gentle.
-
Bottom-up approach: start brushing gently at the ends of your hair while holding the top row of hair extensions. This minimizes stress on both your natural hair and extensions.
-
Avoid brushing from the top down which will disturb wefts.
-
Double-check: ensure that you've removed any un-brushed areas near the top of the weft, as these spots can be easily forgotten. Pay equal attention to your natural hair between your wefts or sections of hair extensions. Finish by gently brushing from the roots to the ends to distribute natural oils throughout your hair and extensions.
Washing Monroe Extensions
-
Brush first: before you start washing, complete the brushing routine mentioned above.
-
Shampoo: apply a small amount of your salon-recommended shampoo to your fingertips, focusing on your scalp. Be sure to shampoo your scalp under your rows of hair extensions, moving your fingertips parallel to your extensions.
-
Condition: after rinsing your shampoo, apply your salon-recommended conditioner to the mid-shaft and ends of your hair extensions and natural hair. Avoid applying conditioner to adhesive tabs, bonds, or beads.
-
Extra hydration: if you go a week or more between washes, consider using a salon-recommended hydration mask to extend the longevity of your hair extensions.
-
Prepare for styling: after completing your wash routine, gently towel dry and detangle your hair using a wet brush or a salon-recommended brush, following the same brushing routine.
