Hair extensions also require reconstruction and restorative care, just like natural hair in everyday life.

Donor hair is natural, real human hair with the same basic structure and composition as any other human hair. When wearing hair extensions, it is essential to use appropriate home care products and reconstruction treatments.

Restorative procedures for hair extensions have their own specific requirements. It is important to minimize the impact on the attachment area and avoid products containing excessive amounts of cationic ingredients in their formulations. Conditioning agents, oils, and lipid-rich components can affect the capsules and potentially cause them to tighten.

Likewise, nourishing shampoos based on oils, when they accumulate on the hair, can make the capsules slippery. Therefore, the reconstruction treatment should be carefully selected so that it does not affect the attachment point between the donor hair and the client’s natural hair.

Filler Therapy by Nashi Argan

This Filler Therapy treatment by Nashi Argan is specifically adapted for hair extensions.

The deep-cleansing chelating shampoo thoroughly removes buildup from the hair, preparing it for the next product. This means that both the capsule area and the rest of the hair shaft are thoroughly cleansed and degreased.

Not all shampoos used in deep reconstruction treatments have these properties, because intensive cleansing is not always required.

The next step is the filler itself. It is applied only to the lengths below the capsules and immediately blow-dried. This application method prevents the product from reaching the capsule area.

At this stage, other products may have penetrating properties that are activated by steam or vacuum. During such procedures, the product can potentially spread toward the root area and affect the attachment points.

The final step

The final step is practically the same in most reconstruction treatments: applying a leave-in milk, conditioner, or mask.

In the case of hair extensions, these products should always be applied only to the lengths, below the capsules.

When used correctly, these types of hair-care products do not interfere with the capsules, helping to maintain the integrity of the attachment and prolong the wear time of the hair extensions.
