Products We Swear by Part 2
Apr 01, 2022
We're BACK with round two of our favourite tried and true high-quality hair products!
While we all love pampering ourselves with time spent at the salon, our stylists' work is only one piece of the puzzle.
Caring for our hair also means investing in the right products. And at the end of the day, you've spent a pretty penny on your Philocaly extensions – let's help them look just as fabulous as they did on day 1!
We've chatted with expert hairstylists across the country to bring you the best of the best when it comes to caring for your extensions...
Brazilian BondBuild3r Extension Repair Shampoo (top pick from @abbeybrookee)
A product made ESPECIALLY for extensions? Yes, please!
We think this is a HOLY GRAIL product for extension wearers.
As a multi-active cleanser, this product works to remove excess oils and build-up, keeping our beautiful extensions feeling soft and seamless between adjustment appointments.
This shampoo won't loosen bonds or adhesives, prevents debris from collecting at anchors, and protects against colour fade and washout.
We couldn’t ask for anything better!
Brazilian BondBuild3r Extension Repair Conditioner
The Brazilian BondBuild3r Extension repair shampoo and its conditioner make for a magical combo...
Look no further for the best conditioner to get the most out of your extensions.
This conditioner helps maintain the look of extensions AND prolongs the extensions' lifespan.
Apply a generous amount throughout the hair – like the shampoo, this product won't loosen bonds or adhesives. It will also help to prevent any breakage at anchors.
For extremely dry hair, we recommend leaving this on for 10 minutes to fully restore your strands' moisture.
Kérastase Blond Absolu Anti-Brass Purple Mask (recc from @tori_at_theglambar)
Haven't gotten your hands on this mask yet?! RUN, don't walk...
The Kerastase Blond Absolu Anti-Brass Purple Mask is hands down THE best purple shampoo on the market to keep your blonde extensions looking FLAWLESS.
This ultra-violet, colour-correcting mask neutralizes unwanted brassy and yellow tones – perfect on blonde, bleached, or grey hair.
This mask also contains hyaluronic acid, which works to soften and strengthen sensitized hair fibres.
As a little heads-up, this product is highly pigmented. We recommend mixing equal parts mask along with your favourite conditioner.
MURPHY HYDRATE-ME.MASQUE (fave from @amberjoyandco)
We can vouch that this masque delivers on its promises! Get ready for some SERIOUS burst of intense hydration.
Add this masque to your self-care Sunday regiment for the ultimate deep condition.
Trust us, your strands will thank you... they’ll be left feeling replenished and repaired from the styling we put them through during the week.
Infused with essential oils and vitamins, this will give you the buttery smooth refresh you've been looking for!
BALMAIN Silk Perfume (hot tip from @braxtonthomashair)
We can't rave about this product enough! This hair perfume is an absolute STAPLE to add to your hair routine (a favourite for extensions and natural hair)!
Containing silk composed of 17 of the 19 amino acids our hair is already made of, this perfume ensures optimal moisture retention for our locks.
AND, with its signature Balmain fragrance, your hair will smell irresistible throughout the day...
Lightly spray this product onto the hair from an arm's length distance, avoiding the roots to prevent any greasiness.
Think of this as the cherry on top before you head out the door!
***
Proper hair care is SO important! High-quality products are key to keeping your hair extensions looking as nice as possible for as long as possible!
With these recommendations, we promise your extensions will look flawless, just like the first day you stepped out of the salon.
A special thank you to Abbey Brookee (@abbeybrookee), Tori Dawn (@tori_at_theglambar), Amber Joy (@amberjoyandco), and Braxton Thomas (@braxtonthomashair) for their expert recommendations!
