Caring For Your Extensions

Caring For Your Extensions

/in , , , /by

Buying hair extensions isn’t the cheapest thing to do, which is why it’s important to take care of them to give them the longest lifespan possible. Much like if you were to buy a new pair of trainers or handbag, looking after these products is going to benefit you (and your pocket) in the long run. 

 

Extensions Care

Why Is Caring For Your Extensions Important?

 

Extensions aren’t attached to your scalp, so they don’t receive constant nutrients and oil deposits in the same way as your hair does. They are chemically processed, which means they are drier and slightly coarser than your natural hair. Due to this, you’ll want to use ingredients that will replenish and add moisture to your hairpieces. 

 

Which Ingredients Should I Avoid?

 

Products that contain sulfates, parabens, bleach and short-chain alcohols can damage hair extensions. These ingredients can cause your extensions to dry out! They may also be listed under names such as sodium lauryl sulfate (SLS), propyl and isopropyl. Avoid using products that contain these substances. 

 

Which Ingredients Will Benefit My Extensions?

 

When choosing products for your extensions you should be looking out for those that contain long-chain fatty alcohols. Products featuring coconut oil or palm oil will benefit you as they’ll draw moisture into the hair and add a smooth, slippery texture to help with detangling. Generally, these ingredients are found in conditioners and deep conditioning treatments. 

Aim for Morrocan oil, argan oil or castor oil-based products. These will help to hydrate and moisten your hairpieces. 

 

How Should I Wash My Extensions?

 

When it comes to washing your extensions it is important to remember that they don’t receive the same oils and nutrients as your natural hair, therefore, it’s not necessary to wash them as often as you would your own hair. 

A good rule of thumb is to wash them every 30 days or when they become difficult to style as this means there’s a build-up of product!

Here are some steps to follow when washing your Flip-In Wefts: 

 

  • Brush your extensions and rid them of any tangles.
  • Shampoo each weft individually – this will help prevent tangling.
  • Condition each weft individually – leave the products to soak in for around 10 minutes.
  • Apply a deep conditioner – leave this in overnight for the best results.
  • Rinse hair thoroughly – ensure there’s no slippery texture to the hair. 
  • Rinse under cold water – this will close the cuticles ensuring the moisture stays in the hair.
  • Air-dry your extensions – using heat will create frizz and could potentially damage the hair.

What is OLAPLEX

What Is OLAPLEX And Why Should You Be Using It? 

/in , , , , /by

OLAPLEX is used by many people to help permanently repair damaged hair from the inside out. With its patented single-ingredient, bis-aminopropyl diglycol dimaleate, it is a one-of-a-kind product that works to restore the broken bonds in your hair. 

 

How Does It Work?

 

This hair-strengthening treatment re-builds the bonds within the hair that are affected by colour treatments, heat damage, sun exposure and so much more.

OLAPLEX says “our hair contains millions of disulfide bonds. These bonds give the hair its structure, strength, and stability. It restores damaged and compromised hair by repairing it from the inside out.” 

With so many steps, the range of products can seem a little daunting at first. That’s why we’ve broken them down for you: 

  • OLAPLEX No.0 – The newest arrival in the collection primes hair for deeper repair with the highest dose of OLAPLEX technology. Use this as a two-part system alongside No.3 for best results.
  • OLAPLEX No.1 & No. 2 – These are exclusive to professionals and only for salon use.
  • OLAPLEX No.3 – This is the product that put it on the map. No.3 is an at-home treatment that visibly reduces breakage and strengthens damaged hair. 
  • OLAPLEX No.4 – No.4 addresses everyday stresses such as damage, split ends and unwanted frizz. Use a regular shampoo to refresh your hair as well as repair it. 
  • OLAPLEX No.5 – Used in conjunction with No.4, OLAPLEX No.5 restores, repairs and hydrates without adding excess weight to the hair. 
  • OLAPLEX No.6 – No.6 is a highly concentrated leave-in smoothing cream, which prevents frizz and flyaways – perfect for all hair types! 
  • OLAPLEX No.7 – An ultra-lightweight, reparative styling oil that dramatically increases shine, adds softness and strength and enhances all hair types and textures.

 

How Can It Help My Hair? 

 

We’re all guilty of not using heat protection when we’re in a rush, or not looking after our colour-treated hair as well as we could do. This product is here to save us from our own laziness. Whether the damage is thermal, mechanical or chemical, OLAPLEX has a product to rebuild the bonds in your hair and bring it right back to health. 

 

Does It Really Work?

 

Take it from the celebs, OLAPLEX is a miracle worker when it comes to revitalising damaged hair. Drew Barrymore herself raved about the amazing results she saw after using it just once. 

“It’s amazing how much your hair changes over the course of your life—it just doesn’t bounce back the same way. But this strengthens my hair in one wash. It’s amazing.”

The “Eat Out to Help Out” scheme is now in full swing and people are rushing to restaurants and bars to capitalise on this offer. However, the restaurants aren’t the only places filling up, with hair and beauty salons also working at max capacity. You might be thinking about that first meal out, but what do you do if your hair is leaving something to be desired? 

 

Flip-In Hair is proud to have been supplying bespoke hair extensions since 2007. In that time, we have grown substantially, spreading to nearly 50 countries to date. We may have gotten bigger but our brand is still built on the same values: supplying our range of innovative, temporary and damage-free hair extension products to customers from all walks of life. 

The Flip-In Way 

There are so many brands of hair extensions on the market. Most are cheap and require a lot of effort to use – they also end up hurting your head after a few hours of wear.  Heck, you probably spend longer applying them than wearing them! 

 

We are proud of the fact that we are different – Flip-In Hair Extensions are wired and adjustable so they can perfectly fit the size and shape of your head. Furthermore, all our hair extensions feature no clips, no glue and no weaving. This means that they take less than a minute to fit and literally a second to remove. Our unique design allows for optimum comfort and makes them super easy to use. Fit them in a matter of seconds in the comfort of your own home, and say goodbye to costly salon visits and lengthy hair maintenance. 

Patented for Perfection 

Our extensions are designed to be different. As such, our product is patented so you should only buy from Flip-In-approved suppliers to ensure you are getting the real deal! 

 

You might be wondering what makes our extensions so exciting? Ours are the only extensions on the market that are made with two metals loops on one side and an elastic loop on the other. These loops work similarly to a belt mechanism and allow you to tighten or loosen your extensions to fit your head correctly. 

 

When we send you your bespoke hair extensions we will attach our wire to the elastic loop – it is then up to you to thread the wire through the two metal loops on the other side of the extension. All Flip-In Hair Extensions come with a tail comb to help pull your own hair over the top of them, plus spare wire in case you need it.

Get The Look You’ve Always Wanted

We always strive to provide a quality, helpful and informative service to all of our customers. Whether you are a first-time buyer or a seasoned Flip-In customer, we will assist you every step of the way!
