The Dos and Don’ts of Easilock Extensions

Whether you’re pinning after luscious length or dreamy volume, we can guarantee our hair extensions have got you covered. Regardless of your unique style, our Easilocks extensions will have you looking and more importantly, feeling like a princess! Easilocks hair extensions have been designed to deliver volume and confidence-boosting thickness exactly where you need it, with undetectable genuine hair strand extensions that will give you all the lift, length and lush locks but with none of the damage. Easi-iTip hair extensions cause no damage but give you all the bounce and attitudes you want. Trust us, they’re pretty magical. Our extensions enable our clients to enhance their style whilst also giving you long-lasting, human hair extensions that blend seamlessly with your natural locks.
Before your Easilocks fitting you will have a consultation appointment so one of our Easilocks Specialists can correctly colour match your Easilocks to your real hair in order for them to blend seamlessly allowing for a natural and realistic finish. No matter how many colours you have in your hair, we can combine many colours and tones to create the perfect match for your hair. The tips can last 2-3 months at a time and the human hair itself can be reused for up to 1 year with good care. Tips last longer than any other module, so that’s less maintenance time in the salon and more time showing off your hair!
In order to keep your new locks looking as flawless as they did when you first left the salon it is vital that you take all the necessary aftercare steps and are strict with maintenance. Much similarly to a tattoo, aftercare plays a big part in how your extensions will look long-term so that is why we have made this blog your guide on how to best take care of your new locks so that they stay looking their best. Read on for our list of dos and don’ts.

Dos

N
Brush your extensions before shampooing to ensure it is tangle free
N
Secure the hair with one hand whilst detangling to avoid any pressure
N
Shampoo your hair with silicone free shampoo and only apply conditioner on the ends. Rinse thoroughly on the day of your Easilocks application to ensure a strong and healthy Easilocks connection
N
When shampooing your hair work vertically not horizontally or in a circular motion, this will create less tangles and makes it easier to manage
N
For best results leave conditioner in for 3-5 months before rinsing and comb through your hair extensions. We recommend removing the heavy wet before applying conditioner
N
Only condition the hair from the ponytail down avoiding contact with the root areas or locks however you can apply conditioner generously throughout the ends
N
Always use leave in conditioner on the ends to keep the ends looking silky
N
We recommend you brush your scalp at least twice a day, once in the morning and once in the evening to keep your hair extensions clean at the root area
N
Weekly treatments are recommended
N
Gather your hair into a loose side ponytail or braid whilst sleeping
N
Avoid tight updos or ponytails for the first few days after the hair extension application
N
When swimming always tie your hair in a ponytail or braid and apply conditioner to the hair to act as a barrier against harmful chlorine/salt water etc. Always shampoo immediately after swimming and detangle as normal
N
Swimming is not recommended if wearing tape hair extensions
N
Use only correct Easilocks products as advised by your certified stylist, which include:
  • Easilocks Shampoo
  • Easilocks Conditioner
  • Exclusive Rose Gold Oil Heat Protector Pro
This will maximise your results and sustain the high quality of the hair
N
Always cover your hair when in direct sunlight for long periods of time
N
Always dry off the roots and tape area of your Easitape Hair Extensions to ensure the holding agent in the tape has dried completely to ensure maximum strength of application. The holding agent in the tape is vulnerable when wet, so no pressure is to be placed on the hair during styling until the roots are bone dry

Don’ts

M
Don’t go to bed with wet hair
M
Don’t shampoo over the bath as this may create problems when detangling
M
Don’t attempt to maintain or adjust your Easilocks yourself. Any issues leave it to the professionals
M
Don’t leave your Easilocks in for longer than 3 months or 8-10 weeks if the natural hair is fine. If your hair extensions are left in for longer than the recommended time some damage may occur
M
Don’t leave your hair wet for longer periods of time without detangling as it may become matted
M
Don’t use any hot tools on your Easilocks without using Easilocks Rose Gold Oil. Comb through your hair to ensure the product is evenly distributed throughout ensuring everywhere is protected
M
Don’t allow bronzers/fake tans/suncreams or products with tint in them to make contact with your hair extensions if blonde especially if in the sun as you may experience slight colour change
We do say to keep in mind as a result of natural shedding it is not unusual to shed anywhere from 0-15 Easilocks strands over the course of the term of wear even despite following perfect aftercare. One of our specialists normally allows for this during the application and the shedded strands can then be reapplied in your refitting appointment. When arranging your appointment to reuse your hair we advise booking another consultation so that the stylist can review and assess your extensions to see if any new hair is required or to see if any adjustments are necessary. Following our list of Dos and Don’ts will help ensure your extensions remain looking as flawless as possible and will reduce your chance of having to refit/replace more extensions than necessary.
