Get the most out of your lustrous locks! Be sure to properly care for your Extensions.

To maintain the integrity of human hair extensions, please follow these care instructions:

1. Do not shampoo for 48-72 hours after the extensions are completed, or after any maintenance sessions.

2. Do not scrub hair when shampooing or conditioning. Condition and detangle the hair from mid-strand to the ends. Avoid the scalp area.

3. Wrap hair with a towel to dry. Do not rub hair with the towel.

4. Use blow dryers on the lowest heat setting. The cool air setting is preferable. Do not use a forceful air setting when using the blow dryer.

5. Always use the manufacturer’s recommended products and never use products that contain acetone, alcohol or sulphur.

6. Before going to bed, protect the hair by pulling it back into a ponytail or bun to prevent tangling during sleep.

7. Brush hair with a looped brush several times a day, starting at the nape and working upwards. Never us a wide-toothed comb or attempt to remove tangles from hair ends. Be sure not to use a comb in the area between scalp and the extension bonds.

8. Some manufacturers approve of using hot rollers and curling irons as long as the wearer avoids using them near the bonds. Check before using.

9. Swimming pool chemicals and seawater weaken keratin bonds. Before swimming, wet the hair completely in the shower, put the hair in a bun and cover with a bathing cap. After swimming, rinse hair immediately and dry the base area.

Other conditions and guidelines may be specified by the extensions manufacturer. We recommend that you follow these specifications in order to extend the life and prevent damage to your extensions.

As a master wig maker and designer, I have worked with lace front wigs for many years, both with customers and in the movie industry. I am considered an expert on this topic and would like to share some important information about these very natural looking wigs.

With the number of “tortures” many of us have subjected our hair to, it’s a miracle that we have any hair left at all. With the dominance of weaving techniques in the beauty industry, neglecting the natural hair we were born with has become too common. I have personally talked to many clients who have literally hidden their hair away under a weave or wig for so long that their natural hair is severely damaged. Don’t give up and swear allegiance to hair weaves forever. There are options.

Camille, the founder of Hair & Cuticle Inc., has stepped in to educate consumers about the authenticity, quality and characteristics of human hair. Camille was the first person who imported this first-grade human hair into Canada over 20 years ago. Critics said she was crazy and that women would find it too expensive, but that did not deter her. Camille continued to promote the first grade cuticle human hair in Canada and now, 18 years later, is still going strong with the human hair being one of her most popular products. You have to know what you are buying though…
