Invisible Bead Extensions® Aftercare Guide
Caring for your extensions properly is essential to maintaining their longevity, comfort, and seamless appearance. With the right routine, your extensions will continue to look and feel effortlessly natural between appointments.
⸻
1. Brushing & Washing
Always detangle your hair thoroughly before washing. This helps prevent tangling and ensures a smoother, more gentle cleanse.
Use an extension-safe brush and begin at the ends, working your way upward. Be mindful to avoid pulling directly at the weft line.
When washing, gently cleanse the scalp and allow shampoo to rinse through the lengths. Work shampoo and conditioner carefully between your rows without disturbing the foundation.

2. Conditioning
Conditioner should always be applied from the mid-lengths to the ends only.
Avoid applying conditioner directly at the root or attachment points of your extensions. Keeping this area product-free helps maintain a secure installation and prevents slippage. Your extensions will remain soft and manageable without conditioner at the base.

3. Sleeping Rules
Before bed, always secure your hair in a loose braid or low ponytail. This reduces friction, prevents tangling, and protects the wefts while you sleep.
Never sleep with wet or damp extensions. Moisture combined with friction can cause the shorter return hairs of the weft to mat, which can compromise the integrity of your extensions.

4. Products & Maintenance
The products you use directly impact the longevity and appearance of your extensions. Hydration is key—your hair should always feel moisturized, soft, and nourished.
Not all products labeled “extension-safe” are suitable for hand-tied hair. High-quality, professional-grade products are strongly recommended.
A trusted go-to brand is Davines, along with a full routine that includes:
• Moisturizing shampoo & conditioner
• Leave-in conditioner
• Lightweight hair oil
• Heat protectant before styling
Personalized product recommendations will always be provided during your first appointment to ensure the best results for your hair type and extensions.

5. Sunscreen & Color Protection
Be mindful when using sunscreen near your hair, especially with lighter extension shades such as blonde, bronde, or light brown.
Avoid sunscreens that contain avobenzone, a common chemical ingredient that can react with treated or porous hair. This reaction may cause unwanted discoloration, including pink, orange, or brassy tones that can be difficult or sometimes impossible to correct.
To protect your investment, choose a mineral sunscreen instead, formulated with zinc oxide or titanium dioxide.

With proper care, your Invisible Bead Extensions® will remain seamless, comfortable, and beautiful throughout your wear. Your maintenance routine is just as important as your installation—consistency is what keeps everything looking effortless.
