    How to take care of hair extensions - A care guide 

      • Washing

          Viola Hair Extension Shampoo and Conditioner is recommended, it's been tried, tested and proven to keep our extensions healthy and strong. The use of the Viola care range coincides with 190 days quality guarantee.

          Hair must be detangled before washing with a bristle or detangling brush. Keep your head upright while wet, do not twist or rub instead massage the scalp gently with your fingertips.

          Do not apply any conditioner onto the roots and bonds. Gently squeeze and pat wet hair, be sure not to wrap your hair up in a towel, to avoid matting and tangling.

          • Brushing & Blow-drying

          When the hair is wet it is very important not to brush through rather gently run your fingers through the hair the ease any knots.

          Blow-dry until the hair is dry, using a bristle or detangling brush start from the ends and work way up towards the roots.  At all times supporting the hair by holding the extensions at the top. Be sure to add heat protection, Viola shake and protect or Viola heat serum.

          • Styling

          The hair extensions can be styled using straighteners, curler, hair driers etc, be aware that exposure to heat can impact on the lifespan of the hair extensions same as it would on your natural hair.

          Avoid heated tools coming into contact with the bonds as it can cause it to melt.

          Bleaching, dying etc extensions can shorten the lifespan and extensions will no longer be covered by the warranty.

          Viola Extensions Boost and Viola Argan Oil used regularly will help to replenish essential nutrients that may have been lost over time.

          • Sleeping

          It is so important that your hair is completely dry when sleeping, as moisture will cause the extensions to become matted. Brush and braid your hair into one plat before going to bed, brush through in the morning.

          • Holiday, Swimming, Sauna, Salt Water, Sunbathing

          Braid your hair into one plat, make sure the extensions do not come into contact with sun cream, chlorine or salt water as it can cause hair to discolour, feel dry and brittle. Exposure to UV and heat can also cause this to occur why it is important when in direct sunlight to cover hair extensions.

          Viola Extensions Boost will add vital minerals to the extensions. If extensions do change colour due to the above it is not covered by the guarantee.
