The Dos and Don'ts of I-Tip Hair Extensions

Dos

1. Professional Installation

• Always have your I-tip extensions installed by a certified salon professional. Proper installation is crucial for longevity and comfort.

2. Regular Brushing

• Gently brush your hair twice a day using a wide-tooth comb or a special hair extension detangling brush. Begin at the ends of your hair and gradually work your way up to within 2 cm of the roots to prevent tangling.

3. Shampoo and Condition

• Wash your hair every 7 to 14 days using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Concentrate on cleansing the scalp and mid-lengths while avoiding direct contact with conditioner treatments at the base of the I-tips.

4. Deep Conditioning

• Apply deep conditioner away from the scalp from mid-way to the ends once a week to keep your hair hydrated and prevent dryness.

5. Heat Protection

• Use a heat protectant spray before applying any heat-styling tools. Keep temperatures between 375°F - 395°F to avoid damaging your extensions.

6. Night Care

• Braid or tie your hair in a loose ponytail before sleeping. Use SL Raw No-slip satin bonnet to prevent tangling and protect your extensions.

7. Swimming Precautions

• Wet your hair with clean water before swimming to minimize chlorine or salt absorption. Rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterward and apply a hydrating conditioner.

8. Routine Maintenance

• Visit your salon professional every 6-8 weeks for maintenance checks and reinstallation to keep your extensions in top shape.

Don'ts

1. DIY Installation/Removal

• Never attempt to install or remove I-tip extensions yourself. Always seek licensed professional help to avoid damage.

2. Excessive Pulling or Tugging

• Avoid pulling or tugging on your extensions, as this can cause damage even though they are securely installed.

3. Heat and Oils near the Base

• Keep heat tools and conditioning oils away from the base of the I-tips to prevent slippage and unraveling.
