What will keep the gorgeous sheen on brand new human hair extensions? I've even tried calling the manufacturer

I have tried many products like Biosilk silk therapy, conditioner and water rinsing, topical shining, spray shining, anti-frizz and nothing seems to restore it. I have called the stylists who work with these extensions every day and they just keep suggesting the Biosilk. I was told by one manufacturer that there is nothing you can do to restore the soft luxurious sheen of new human hair extensions. Is there anyone who has found a way to do this?

sheen spray!
Reply:The only thing that will work is Oil Sheen. I'd use something light too. You dont want to bog your extensions down with a lot of chemicals. But whatever it is you decide to use... use only one product for best results.
Reply:hey i'm hairdresser, i am trained in extensions and i wear extensions.





problem is with most extensions tht r human, the cuticle has been stripped during the harsh chemical processing. what most manufactureres do is coat the hair in silicone and enzymes to make it soft and shiny. after several shampoo's tht coating wears off.





ive tht exact same problem with mine...and its been a lil trial and error, but i think ive kinda got the hang of it.





because when u get extensions, they r ALOT of high maintenance...u have add moisture to em cos because they dont it get it naturally like ur own does.





doing conditioning treatments helps...ive found mixing 2 together really helps.





also using a maintenance spray will help.


(cos i;m hairdresser i;m a lil product happy so when i did get extensions i didnt really change my routine to my hair too much)





so...





1) shampoo - i use matrix biolage ultra hydrating shampoo


2) conditioner i use Aussie 3 min miracle reconstructor and TIGI dumb blonde conditioner - dont b afraid to mix 2 or 3 conditioners


3) after towel drying hair i use a leave in conditioner - sallys own brand Tea Tree leave in conditioner. this helps detangle the hair.(when detangle extensions work from the ends up to the roots it minimises damage)


4) b4 blow drying i use fantasia hair polisher mist (can b found in sallys hair and beauty) and TIGI ego boost. when blow drying section the hair - makes it easier and doesnt damage the hair as much.


5) after blow drying i use a serum on my hair so smooth it over..i then secetion hair off and str8en.


6) i use a smoothing cream to stop it frizzing up.





dont 4get theres different qualities of hair - most comes from asia..usually india or china...some claim to b european but they arent. (european hair is not strong enough to go thro all the chemical processing and then still b classed as usuable where as asian hair is naturally alot stronger and can withstand all the chemicals)





the true way to get good hair extensions is to get remy hair, but this costs alot, but remy hair is hair where it still has the cuticle





any more q's email me
