One of the best features of a high-quality hair fixing system is that, once applied, it is designed for a seamless, active life. However, to keep that “just-out-of-the-salon” look, consistent daily care is key. By incorporating a few simple, gentle habits into your routine, you can ensure your system remains in pristine condition, extending the time between your professional maintenance sessions and preserving the health of the human hair.
The Rules of Gentle Washing | Hair Fixing
Washing your hair fixing system is about delicacy. Use only professional-grade, sulfate-free shampoos that are formulated specifically for hair replacement systems. When washing, do not rub the hair vigorously; instead, massage the shampoo gently from the roots to the ends, moving in a downwards motion. This avoids tangling the base of the hair. Always follow up with a high-quality, hydrating conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends to maintain the moisture that keeps the hair soft and shiny.
Styling with Care | Hair Fixing
When your system is damp, the hair is at its most vulnerable. Use a wide-tooth comb or a specialized vent brush to detangle the hair, starting from the ends and working your way up to the base. If you use heat styling tools, always apply a heat-protectant spray first. This is a non-negotiable step—even human hair can be damaged by excessive heat, and protectant sprays are your system’s best defense against dryness and split ends.
Sleeping and Daily Habits | Hair Fixing
If you lead a very active lifestyle, consider a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction while you sleep. Friction is the silent killer of hair health, as it causes tangling and breakage over time. Also, if you use styling products, ensure they are water-based and free from harsh chemicals or high alcohol content, which can degrade the adhesive bonds. By treating your hair system with the same (or even slightly more) care than your natural hair, you will be rewarded with a system that looks flawless for its entire lifespan.
