I do extensions and i've been wearing then for about 2 years.
on a budget - Sunsilk - £1.77 and usually bogof available everywhere tesco etc.

My starter pack i include in salon - Clynol Moisture shampoo, colour protect deep conditioner and balance spray in moisture.

Infratreat returcture spray is fab. The fine hair one gives your hair loads of body too from Ellisons

Also like the Osmo moisture range too.

I've tried pretty much every shampoo available from the wholesalers/salon...
I have a room upstairs aka "the Pink Room" with 4 crates of hair products. Hubby stopped complaining last year because i kept telling him it was "research" lol...

If it was 3 weeks ago i'm afraid i doubt very much it european remi hair that was used....
Probably Euro hair - european style but which is actually of asian origin.

I've had mine go like that in the past when i'm test running new suppliers and it doesn't turn out to be what it "says on the tin",

1, have them trimmed - some of my clients don't need any work done on the bonds at their 6 week maintenance but a proper razored trim through the layers and the ends almost makes them look brand new again. You only need about 1cm off to acheive it. No amount of conditioner is going to fix bad hair

2, a moisturising shampoo. bargain - Sunsilk - it's about 70p but it's fab on hair extensions. Moisturises and doesn't leave a residue. Either the yellow or peach coloured bottle. Splash out - Clynol moisture.

3, a conditioner through the lengths. I'm using Aussie 3 min miracle at the mo. Not a salon brand but it works really well,

4, are rinsing the conditioner thoroughly blot dry with a towel and use a salon standard restructure spray. Can be used on wet or dry hair.
Section hair and dry.

5 decent brush. I've tried laods of extensions brushes but always come back to the Trevor Sorbie wooden handled bristle brush.

Cheesy Shampoo for extensions - 27-07-08, 10:21 PM

I am a extension specailist and we use Biolage the purple label. Which is the hydrating. Don't use the one that is extra hydrating though. Biolage is also good on the budget.

Only use products that are meant for hair extensions, do not risk using any other products!

try x-10, racoon, balmain

x10 is pretty good but it made my own fine hair rather greasy.

At the mo i'm wearing chinese fusion hair and using Paul Mitchell Awapuhi Shampoo, intensive conditioner and then The awapuhi moisture mist.

Best so far i'd say and i've been wearing extensions for about 3 years
