A shampoo should quickly clean the surface and be rinsed off with water, taking with it dirt, oil and other residues.

A simple act that is made complicated by the very structure of hair extensions.

Regular healthy hair has two great advantages over hair extensions.

1. First, it contains sebaceous glands that produce oil that spread over the fiber creating a hydrophobic, anionic surface to help repel water.
2. Second, regular hair contains chemicals and cuticles that are a chemically resistant protective layer surrounding the hair fiber. Both of these characteristics are stripped from the hair fiber with manufactured hair extensions.

Even high quality cuticle hair extensions can easily dry out in a short time if the client is using regular shampoos, conditioners and heated styling tools.

A common problem with processed hair is the tendency of swelling.

For hair to swell a solvent must penetrate into the hair and bonds must be broken.

Water and relative humidity (free moisture from the surrounding air) penetrate and cause breakage in primary hydrogen bonds.

This is reversible breakage and damage does not occur. But many chemicals penetrate, swell the hair and break covalent bonds that are irreversible and damage occurs.

Our hair extension products contain properties that are structured to match the altered surface energy of processed hair extensions or any type of chemically processed human hair.
