Now for the next step, making your hair system last as long as possible.
Our guide outlines the best aftercare practices to help you keep your hair system looking and feeling as fresh as possible.
AFTER A NEW SYSTEM IS FITTED
Remember, it’s best to keep the cut a little longer at first so you can be sure you’d like it chopped more. Once it’s off, it’s off!
A new system can feel thick and bouncy at first. That will settle within 1 to 2 weeks.
It is expected that a new system will shed some hair in the first month, it’s not a cause for concern and is part of how the system settles into your lifestyle.
Try not to mess around with the hair too much, even though it’s tempting! The bond takes up to 24 hours to cure and fiddling with your system can affect the longevity of the bond.
It’s common for people to overanalyse their appearance after they have a system fitted for the first time. It’s important to remember that nobody else will pay as much attention to your hair as you.
MAINTENANCE
Following the correct steps when maintaining your hair system is vitally important to increase the longevity of your system.
You should wash your hair system in lukewarm water instead of hot and limit washing no more than twice a week. Any more, and you risk the hair system drying out and losing its shiny, healthy-looking glow. After you have shampooed your hair system, it is essential to have a conditioning routine, as systems can’t produce sebum independently. Conditioner should be generously applied and rinsed out thoroughly.
Don’t rub the hair or use a circular motion whilst washing the hair. Instead, gently smooth the shampoo through the hair in one direction and in the shower use a vent brush with nodules on the end. Apply the same method with conditioner to keep your hair system feeling lovely and soft.
To dry your hair system, use a towel to gently press down on your hair system to dry.
Use a hairdryer on a cool heat setting to ensure your adhesives stay secure and your hair isn’t exposed to unnecessary levels of heat. If you prefer to blow dry with a brush, ensure to use the correct vent brush when drying.
