After you have applied Hotheads, ensure that your client has all the proper tools to care for their new hair before they leave the salon. To help you with this, we have formulated our product line specifically for second hair. To ensure your client is informed about the proper care of Hotheads Hair Extensions, educate them on Hotheads Client Do’s & Don’ts.

Client DO’S & DON’TS

DO’S

• Wait 24-48 hours before washing or chemically processing your hair.
• Use a soft, boar bristle brush; starting at the ends and working your way up, always brushing in a downward motion. Brush before shampooing to keep hair from matting.
• Use a nourishing leave-in conditioner from midshaft to ends, keeping away from the tape tabs. For the best results use Hotheads products to keep extensions feeling soft and looking sleek and healthy.
• Wear your hair in a ponytail or loose braid when swimming, exercising and sleeping.
• Have a licensed professional remove and reapply your extensions.

DON’TS

• Don’t use any products containing alcohol, oil, or ethanol. Alcohol based products are drying to the hair and can compromise the strength of the adhesive bond.
• Don’t brush hair harshly.
• Don’t go to bed with wet hair.
• Don’t chemically process your hair at home. Rely on your salon professional for any services while wearing extensions.
• Don’t remove your extensions yourself.

To ensure your application and consultation meets Hotheads Hair Extensions standards of installation, review the list of Hotheads Stylist Do’s & Don’ts.
