AFTERCARE

Looking after your beautiful new hair colour

• Avoid shampooing , conditioning or wetting your hair for 48 hours
• With copper and red tones you must protect your hair with a “leave-in” conditioner
• Avoid prolonged exposure to sunlight as this will fade your colour
• Use a sun screen on your hair on holiday – sun, sea water and swimming pools will ruin your new hair colour!
• Avoid medicated shampoos and shampoos with a high detergent, silicon, or alcohol content as these can strip the colour from your hair.Your stylist can advise you of the best products to use
• Some very bright colours may initially rub off onto clothing and bed linen and these can also fade quicker than other colours (particularly reds). However this can be minimized by following these guidelines and using the correct quality homecare products

Care for your newly permed hair

• Avoid shampooing, conditioning or wetting your hair for 48 hours
• Use a wide tooth comb when your hair is wet
• Avoid combing or brushing your hair when it’s dry ( especially avoid bristle brushes) and do not tie your hair back
• Always use a styling product for natural, blow or scrunch drying
• Avoid medicated shampoos and shampoos with a high detergent, silicon, or alcohol content. If in doubt ask your stylist for advice

Looking after your Rapture hair extensions

• Remember you have much more hair and possibly hair of a different texture, so you must take care with its grooming. Also your extensions will not benefit from the oils secreted into your natural hair. Before washing make sure your hair is completely tangle free and use a quality professional shampoo and conditioner.
• Do not rub or twist wet hair as this can cause tangling when washing and blot the hair after washing – don’t rub. Never brush the hair between the scalp and the hair extension join and always start brushing and combing at the tips of your hair, gently working up to the extension joint.
• Don’t let hot curling tongs come in contact with the extension joint and always keep hairdryers on a low setting. When swimming or exercising tie your hair back to prevent tangling. Please be careful on holiday to hot destinations and avoid spraying sun cream on the tips of your extensions.
• Only let your hairdresser who has been trained to use Rapture extensions remove them from your hair. They are re-usable and your stylist can give you advice on this.

Prolong your manicure

• Allow 4-6 hours before putting your hands in water
• Avoid activities that could affect your polish for the first 12 hours after application to allow it to harden fully
• Re-apply a top coat every 2/3 days to maintain and maximise your treatment benefits

You’ll get the best results from your spray tan if you follow these guidelines:

• Exfoliate properly the morning of your tan – pay particular attention to areas such as your elbows and ankles. You must not use any shower lotions which include a moisturizer – this may result in a streaky tan. Do not apply any moisturizing lotions after your shower
• Bring loose dark clothing to change into after your tan so you can avoid marks whilst your tan develops
• Your tan will fade quicker on areas which are washed the most eg, your hands and face. You can prolong your tan in these areas by using a Sienna X tan moisturizer or spray top up tan mist

Can I have a KeraStraight Brazilian Blow dry on my chemically treated hair?

Yes! The KeraStraight treatment can be applied to all hair types including untreated virgin hair, coloured, highlighted and permed. In fact the treatment is more dramatic on chemically treated hair as it can more easily penetrate the hair shaft. On virgin hair the treatment will last longer after the 2nd or 3rd application. However it’s always best to colour your hair at least several days before your treatment or from 2 weeks afterwards.

KeraStraight Brazilian Blow Dry aftercare

KeraStraight has been developed to simultaneously repair and strengthen your hair and with the correct care you can enjoy the benefits for up to 4 months. You can wash your hair immediately after your treatment but if possible try and leave it for 24 hours after your treatment. Similarly avoid tie-ing your hair back or using any hair grips etc until you’ve washed it for the first time – you might get a kink.

You MUST avoid any shampoos & conditioners which contain sodium chloride or sulphates as these will strip the Kerastraight from the hair shaft (and sea water won’t help either!). We recommend you use KeraStraight Straight maintain shampoo and conditioner.

The keratin will gradually fade over time so after 3-4 months you will need a further treatment. In fact you will find your hair gets better and better with each treatment as the keratin is infused into the hair shaft.

KeraStraight Brazilian Blow dry -what happens if my hair gets wet during the waiting period?

You should have no problems but just to be sure, if your hair gets wet within  24 hour  after your KeraStraight treatment, you should blow dry and re-iron it immediately.

When can I have my next KeraStraight treatment

Your KeraStraight treatment should last between 2-4 months , gradually fading over time. You can reapply the KeraStraight treatment after 30 days.
