A UES Guide to Long-Lasting, Healthy Hair
Hair extensions are an investment — in your look, your time, and your routine.
We have designed every extension service to feel seamless, natural, and easy to wear. With the right care, your extensions can stay beautiful for months — and in many cases, up to a year.
The key is consistency. Here’s how to take care of your extensions the right way.
It Starts with the Right Foundation
Every extension journey at UES begins with a consultation.
This is where we determine:
• The best method for your hair (weft, volume, I-tip, density, etc.)
• Your ideal color match and blend
• A maintenance plan that fits your lifestyle
Our extension methods are fully customized — whether your goal is length, volume, density, or added dimension without chemical color.
Good results don’t just come from installation. They come from a plan.
Your Everyday Care Routine
Extensions don’t require complicated upkeep — but they do require intention.
Extension Daily Care
- Brush gently, starting from the ends and working upward
- Hold the base while brushing to avoid tension
- Keep hair detangled throughout the day
- Sleep with a silk bonnet, loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling
- Sleep on silk pillow cases. Cotton wicks away all the moisture from your hair.
Washing
- Use salon-quality, sulfate-conscious products
- Focus shampoo at the scalp — let it rinse through the ends
- Condition mid-lengths to ends only
- Avoid aggressive scrubbing near the wefts or bonds
Drying + Styling
- Always dry the base (wefts, beads, or bonds) completely
- Avoid air-drying at the root
- Use heat protectant when styling
- Keep hot tools away from attachment points
Be Mindful of Sunscreen + SPF Products
This is one of the most overlooked parts of extension care.
Many sunscreens contain ingredients like avobenzone and octocrylene, which can react with extension hair — especially lighter tones — and cause discoloration (often orange or pink hues).To keep hair extensions safe from turning orange or pink, use only a mineral-based sunscreen containing Zinc Oxide or Titanium Dioxide
What to do:
- Use a mineral-based sunscreen
- Apply sunscreen before styling your hair
- Keep hair pulled back when applying SPF
- Avoid letting sunscreen sit on the hairline
If contact happens, rinse the area as soon as possible
The safest option:
Mineral sunscreens (zinc oxide or titanium dioxide) are a better choice for extension wearers.
This small adjustment can make a big difference in preserving your color.
Consider wearing a hat or scarf when you’re out in the sun for long periods of time.
Stay on Schedule with Maintenance
Maintenance appointments are essential.
At UES, most extension guests come in every 5–6 weeks for a move-up, which typically takes under an hour.
These appointments:
• Keep your extensions comfortable
• Maintain a seamless blend
• Prevent tangling or tension at the scalp
Skipping maintenance can lead to unnecessary damage — staying consistent keeps everything looking and feeling its best.
Product + Heat Awareness
Extension hair doesn’t receive natural oils from your scalp — so what you use matters.
Be mindful of:
• Heavy oils near the attachment points
• Product buildup from lower-quality formulas
• Excessive heat in the same areas over time
Lightweight, professional products will always perform b
