EXTENSIONS ROUTINE
“My formulas are phenomenal on all hair extensions with many of the best extension salons in the world using and selling Iles Formula exclusively as their preferred home care for their clients. As your extensions age, they will begin to feel rough and dry. This complete routine will transform your extensions to sumptuous silk.” - Wendy Iles
HOW TO USE
Generously apply to a damp scalp, adding water if needed, and massage in circular motions to encourage exfoliation and remove build up of dead cells, debris and product trapped on the scalp. Rinse thoroughly. Our Exfoliant will not loosen extension beads. Use once per week.
Apply Shampoo* to very wet hair and massage to activate the lather. The lather is key to removing the Exfoliant from the hair and indicates correct usage of our sulfate-free shampoo. Ensure to bring this lather through to the ends, gently kneading it in any dry or damaged areas of the hair. Allow to sit for 1 minute before rinsing thoroughly. Repeat at least once more. Our sulfate-free shampoo is gentle and will never strip the hair or scalp. It also buffs over porosity bars, making it a favorite amongst professional colorists and extension artists.
For optimal results, use after the Shampoo and before the Conditioner. Apply generously from scalp to ends, allowing to penetrate for 5 to 20 minutes, then rinse. Use once per week to strengthen and nourish the hair.
Apply evenly an inch from roots to ends. Use the Conditioner Distribution Comb for an even distribution through the hair + roots. Rinse. The Conditioner shuts down the hair cuticle immediately, without leaving any residue on the hair shaft, further restoring lustre to the hair.
To reduce the risk of damage to your extensions, we recommend our extra absorbent, luxuriously soft microfibre towel that gently dries hair fast without friction, reducing static, frizz + breakage. The Hair Turban Towel has been specially designed to accommodate longer extension lengths.
For optimal results, cocktail our 2 serums. Apply the Finishing Serum evenly to mid-lengths and ends of your natural hair before styling. Heat activate and blow dry into wet hair, ensuring the Finishing Serum is applied to each section of hair. Follow the same routine for the extension hair using the Curl Revive. The Finishing Serum has the power to make thin hair feel and look organically thicker, whilst the Curl Revive will make the thicker, extension hair feel more manageable. Apply the Finishing Serum daily to dry hair to refresh protection against heat, UV and color fade, and prevent frizz.
Section the hair and spray evenly onto a damp or dry scalp every day. Massage to activate circulation. To reduce the signs of hair loss and boost the growth of thicker + stronger hair, continue treatment daily for a minimum of 3 months. Thereafter, continue treatment 2 - 3 times a week to maintain the results.
Warm the desired amount between hands to melt the balm for optimum application. Apply sparingly to the ends of extensions. Add more as required; do not rinse.
*In hard water areas, replace this first shampoo step with the Hard Water Shampoo.
