Hi all, Ive had pre-bonded human hair extensions put in, the salon told me to use Tigi Self Absorbed shampoo and conditioner but Im not sure if I can use it all over my hair (including over the bonds) or not. Please help!

Hi , oooh how lovely for you ,
you will have to let us know all about them ?
and what type you had ?
any before and after pics ?

Didn't they give you any written aftercare sheets ?
each type of system will have its own aftercare ,
I would pop back in and get an after care sheet.

as a general rule do not use any shampoos or conditioners which contain any silicone in them as this can make the bonds slip and break down .


Also when washing the hair always wash it in the shower so the water runs in the same direction as the hair ( flowing downwards )

When conditioning your extensions don't put any conditioner near the bonds,
just put the conditioner on the mid lengths and ends good luck x

Oh thanks Minky, I didn't think anyone was going to reply! Great advice, I'll get an after care sheet from the salon, they should have given me one when I was there I guess, oh well! I haven't got any before and after pics, I didn't think of getting any! Thanks for the advice again though!

hi you dont have to use any special shampoo that is the salons way of getting little extra from you (as if you not paid enough) i have had extentions for 9 years could not live without them and you can shampoo all over including bonds but conditioner only on the ends hun and no hairspray near bonds that will bring them out quicker than ever also just a little tip hun when they start to grow just separate them at root from each other other wise you end up with dredlock roots hope this helps

just to let you know not all salons make a little extra out of clients on hair extensions, we give our clients an after care kit of hair extension shampoo, conditioner, serum and extension brush, we have used Hairaisers for years now, i have had 3 girls trained by them, 1 also is a trainer for them now and been on stage at salon for the past 2 years on their stand, great advice on mid lengths and ends , not on bond though, L'oreal absolute repair shampoo & cond are also excellent on extensions, its all about how you look after them though, plenty of home maintainence, quality root point correct hair is also a must,
