The "Wet" Brush
The Wet Brush is the best brush to use when you have extensions. This brush is designed for hair extensions and wigs. The soft bristles gently take away tangles without pulling or ripping the hair. This brush will make your life so much easier while wearing extensions.
Hai Convertible Flat Iron
Hai Convertible Flat Iron for all hair types is my favorite flat iron of all time. I’ve tried many big name flat irons, and I always seem to return to the Hai. I love it because you can also flips and curls as well as straightening. It can be used on all hair extension types from temporary to highest quality. The Negative Ion Technology + Far Infrared Rays gently close the cuticle locking in color while sealing in moisture and natural oils; leaving hair healthier with more sheen and manageability. Ceramic plates imbedded with PTFC heaters generate evenly controlled heat with quick temperature recovery time. It’s important to use ceramic instead of metal for this reason. This is a great flat iron for hair extensions. Watch my video of me curling my hair with my Hai Flat Iron by clicking here.
The Agave Vapor Iron
The Agave Vapor Iron is great for those with extremely dry or frizzy hair. I often recommend this one for clients who are getting blonder extensions since they have been chemically processed more than darker extensions. With The Agave Vapor, you’ll notice vapors of serum steaming out of the flat iron and fusing onto your hair. The iron smooth’s heals and transforms unmanageable, frizzy hair. It allows you to straighten, wave, or curl hair quickly and efficiently with no breakage and damage. Infrared heat energy from the NanoIonic™ iron plates helps seal in essential moisture from the Vapor Infusion, eliminating frizz and split ends. This iron is great for all extensions types from temporary to highest quality.
Rat Tail Comb
A simple rat tail comb will make your life so much easier when parting and styling your extensions. This will help create straight parts when blow drying, parting, or styling your hair.
Duck clips and Croc Clamps
Duck clips and Croc Clamps are great for keeping hair in place or out of your face during styling. Croc clips are great for clipping up large pieces of hair when you’re parting away the rest of your tracks. The duck clips will come in handy when you only have to part out small, flat sections of hair that the Croc clips can’t reach. These will make blow drying and styling so much easier.
Accordion Mirror
An Accordion Mirror is essential when you have extensions. You can get one of these at Target or Ikea. Place the mirror in an area of the bathroom where it’s in front of another mirror. You’ll then be able to pull the accordion mirror in all types of directions in order to see the back of your hair extensions. This will help so much with styling and blow drying. I’ve had many guests tell me that this mirror saves them so much time and guesswork.

Liscio Crystal Serum
Milbon’s Liscio Crystal Serum can be used every day on the ends of the extensions. While not only adding moisture and shine, it will seal down the cuticle and split ends. Since the ends of the hair extensions are the furthest away from your head, they are not getting as much moisture or nutrients as your regular hair. This means the ends will become much more dry at a faster rate than the rest of the extensions. It’s okay to use this every day, even if you’re re-applying over dirty hair. It will keep your ends nourished and easy to manage. It's made for people who have had Japanese Straightening Treatments, so it's the ultimate moisturizing serum!
