Your scalp is the foundation for healthy hair! After a few weeks of wearing extensions, your scalp should be cleansed from build up caused by sweat, creams and environmental factors. Show your scalp some love with our Scalp Scrub Treatment. Our treatment is infused with invigorating Hawaiian sea salt, apple fruit, green tea, chamomile, and other botanicals to cleanse and soothe inflammation and irritation. You’ll also enjoy a soothing scalp massage to improve circulation, relieve muscular tension, and remove build-up leaving your scalp feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. A healthy scalp environment promotes hair growth and strengthens your hair follicles, ensuring that your hair grows stronger and healthier.

2. Cleansing:

Start your post-extension hair care routine with a cleansing session to remove any buildup or residue from your hair and scalp. Choose a clarifying or chelating shampoo to remove build up from your hair. Consider incorporating Tresses Lagos’ Chelating Wash Add-On Treatment or Hair Detoxification Treatment to your routine. These treatments effectively detoxify hair strands from minerals and residue contained in hair extensions, hard water, and from environmental factors. These treatments improve the effectiveness of subsequent treatments applied to your hair, ensuring they penetrate deeply and work thoroughly.

3. Deep Conditioning:

Treat your hair to a much-needed deep conditioning session to replenish moisture and nourish your strands from root to tip. Opt for a rich, hydrating and strengthening mask infused with natural oils, proteins and botanical extracts. Deep conditioning can help repair any damage caused by wearing extensions and restore your hair’s natural strength and vitality. At Tresses Lagos, our Hair Rehab Treatment should set your hair on the right track and is the perfect inclusion in your post-extension aftercare. 

4. Trim and Shape:
