Want healthy, shiny hair that turns heads (and lasts between appointments)? It all comes down to consistency—and the right products.
At NOVA STRANDS Salon in Frisco, Texas, we keep our aftercare recommendations simple but powerful. Here’s the haircare routine we swear by to protect your investment and keep your strands thriving.
1. Start with a gentle, sulfate-free cleanse.
Healthy hair starts at the scalp. We recommend a sulfate-free shampoo that gently cleanses without stripping your hair (or your extensions).
Try: ILES Formula Haute Performance Shampoo — This ultra-gentle cleanser works beautifully on both natural hair and extensions, removing buildup while keeping your strands silky and balanced.
2. Deep condition for shine and strength.
A good conditioner makes all the difference. It smooths, strengthens, and helps reduce breakage between washes and styling.
Try: ILES Formula Conditioner — Loved for its immediate “slip” and smoothing effect, this conditioner makes detangling a breeze while keeping your hair soft and frizz-free.
3. Don’t skip the leave-in.
After towel-drying, work a leave-in conditioner or serum through mid-lengths and ends. This step protects your strands from heat, friction, and dryness.
Try: ILES Formula Finishing Serum — Think of this as your daily armor. It defends against humidity, heat, and environmental stressors while delivering weightless hydration and shine. Plus, it enhances the natural texture of your hair (and extensions) without ever feeling too heavy.
4. Protect before you style.
Heat protection is non-negotiable—especially when styling extensions. Always spritz a heat protectant before blow drying, curling, or flat ironing.
Try: Balmain Thermal Protection Spray — Shields hair from damage while adding volume and polish.
5. Brush with intention.
Use an extension-safe brush and always start detangling at the ends, working your way up. Don’t tug—be gentle!
Bonus Tips:
- Sleep in a loose braid or ponytail.
- Swap to a silk pillowcase for frizz control.
- Never go to bed with damp hair or wet wefts
With the right care, your extensions will stay smooth, soft, and totally envy-worthy—week after week. And don’t worry, we’ll walk you through it all at your appointment.
