when i install i use a clarifying shampoo on the hair before the install and dont condition. this tme though i will be colouring my hair before the install which will include a full bleaching and box dye. my hair is in an ok condition, but it has been bleached before quite a few times. i really want to be able to condition my roots to prevent breakage after the bleaching.. but will this make the rings slip when i install? should i colour one day, condition, shampoo the next day and install? advice please :)

 

I have applied hair extensions after using bleach on a client.   But I still do not use conditioner.  In order to ensure your extension application will be successful, you really don't want any silky, slick coating (like conditioner) on the hair. 

 

In reality, bleaching the hair and applying extensions should not be done on the same day due to the chemical swelling action of the bleach and peroxide on the hair shaft. 

 

Although it's not ideal,  the bleach and extension job is still done in the salon  the same day since most of the time clients do not want to come in for two separate appointments. 

 

However  if you can split this into two different days, it would be best to bleach and condition on one day and then clarify and apply extensions on a different day.
