QuoteReplyTopic: shampoo and conditoner???? Posted: June 08 2005 at 7:35pm
hello- I am going to the beauty supply tomorrow and wanted advice on what kind of shampoo/comditioner you would recommend for HH extensions. I have some really nice Remy clip ins I wear almost every day . I have never washed them. I did wash an extra piece with some cheap suave (and it was ok), but do not want to use that and possibly ruin my set or shorten the life. They are currently about 2 months old.
I was thinking Redken All-soft or CAT. ( I use antisnap on my own hair, but it made my sample washed extension look yucky.) I also heard something about K-Pak- Joico scares me though- it caused damage to my own hair a long time ago . I assume I need a moisturizing shampoo.
Just wanted some input. I can get anything at this place since my mom owns a salon.
I love Matrix Amplify for my own hair- but think that may be too drying for the extensions. I want my clip ins to remain silky smooth and soft and flowing.
Love love love Bed Head Control Freak shampoo & conditioner and also the Loma Peratin line for non-sulfate products. Their hydrating shampoo is creamy and looks like crushed pearls in a bottle. Mmmmmmmmmmmm!
Just bought some Hempz moisturizing shampoo which is nice and the better half just fell in love with American Crew.
I have worn HH extensions on/off throughout the years, and I have found a few favorites. I really love the Frederic Fekai (spelled wrong?) Ultra moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. It smells awesome and makes my hair, natural and extension, feel really soft and full. It can be found at Sephora or probably online. There is also an almond deep conditioner that I like by the same line. In my experience with HH, you cannot overmoisturize, especially with the blonde colors. So basically anything that is a professional product that says "moisturizing" or for "color-treated hair" should work! I also use a leave-in conditioner on mine, but then again I wash my hair a couple times a week so my extensions are no doubt drier than yours.

I love the whole Kerastase line, especially the Nutritive formulations are awesome. I use the Bain Satin 1 or 2 shampoo and the masqueintense conditioner. Your hair will feel so silky and smooth, really healthy looking.
I also use Redken Extreme, in between, just to change things up.
If I want my hair to smell extra good, I use Aveda Brilliant, deliscious.
For deep condtioning I use Nexxuss Emergencee every 3-4 weeks, it really strengthens your hair and helps split ends from happening.

Thanks for all the input. It was most helpful...now off to shop
My extensions probably don't even need to be washed. There is no product in them and I only touch the ends with a curling iron maybe once a week.I wear 'em straight. But it has been about 8 weeks of almost daily wear and no wash...Still amazed how great and real they look- esp. for clip ins.
Probably becausse my own hair is about the same length- I just use them for texture and to grow a layer a bit longer.
oh well...I am outta here w/ my suggestions in hand.
