Hair Maintenance
Questions
How do I take care of my hair?
Basic hair health starts with a proper hair care regimen. You’ll want to make sure you invest in salon grade products that are paraben and sulfate free, especially if you have invested into your hair with a color/lightening service. This will allow for much better hair health and color retention. Followed by a heat protectant if you are doing any sort of thermal or blow dry styling. Hair is also more susceptible to damage when it is wet so silk pillowcases and microfiber towels are best for the least amount of damage. We also recommend scrunchies or softer material elastics aside from the traditional hair tie to reduce frizz and tension on the hair.
How often should I be washing my hair?
Depending on the texture and density of the hair type, we recommend you washing your hair on average 2-3 times a week. If you wash too often it can lead to your hair becoming dry or brittle. Excessive washing can also lead to your color becoming dull, flat, brassy and faded. However, If you don’t wash your hair enough this can lead to irritation, dandruff and buildup at your scalp from dead skin cells and product. If you have finer hair you might find yourself having to wash a bit more often than those with very coarse of thick hair as coarser hair camouflages an oily scalp better than fine hair does.
How often should I get a haircut?
On average if you are getting a haircut for the sake of growing long healthy hair, we recommend getting a haircut every 12-16 weeks. This helps prevent split ends and breakage that may occur so you can retain more length. Color treated hair or fine hair may want to consider a haircut every 6-10 weeks as this hair can be a little more fragile texture.
Do you offer any styling tips?
Yes! Head on over to our Instagram where we have featured style tutorials.
What products should I be using?
Generalized, our secret hair care recipe consists of the following- Two shampoos to be rotated, one of those being a moisturizing or hydrating shampoo. The other being a clarifying OR purple/blonde shampoo. Depending on how often you shampoo, we recommend a 2:1 ratio. Next step is a hydrating conditioner. Especially for our blondies. This should be applied after every shampoo from the mid lengths of the hair down, avoiding the roots. When you get out of the shower it is essential to use a heat protectant before any sort of thermal/blow-dry styling. Lastly we apply oil from mid-lengths to ends for ultimate hair protection.

Your goals will determine how much hair is needed. For an initial installation appointment, the cost is 200 per row. After your initial appointment every 6-10 weeks for your move up the cost is 175 for one row and 150 for the second.
What products should I be using?
Goldie Locks- This entire system is perfect for extensions. These products have a focus on deep hydration and moisture, continually adding a protective element to keep the integrity of your hair extensions and extending the life of your new hair.
The other lines we offer that are extension safe are REF and a few of our UNITE favorites. Youll want to make sure after washing your extensions you follow up with a leave in conditioner. We recommend UNITE’s 7seconds leave in conditioner or Goldie Locks ultra-hydrating leave in.
Lastly you will want to use a daily serum or oil. This will help keep your hair soft and manageable and serve as a necessary heat protectant. Avoid tinted oils which will tarnish your blonde extensions. We recommend Unite U-oil or Goldie Locks signature serum.
