Selecting the right extensions
At Elite's we primarily focus on selecting the highest quality Remy hair extensions for our clients. The extensions matching natural hair colors are as important as their quality. Not to mention, the hair bond is extremely significant for the health of the hair. Of course, helping to choose the right type of hair extensions is as valuable for our clients as the proper application to us.
Hair extensions are a great way to achieve thicker, fuller, longer hair, to create that celebrity look that we all desire!

Caring Tips
DO
- Use correct hair care products (shampoo, conditioner, styling product, etc..)
- Apply conditioner mid-shaft to ends ONLY
- DRY SHAMPOO is your friend!! Washing extensions too much can cause them to slip quicker
- Use a wide tooth comb or wet brush when brushing extensions, especially when wet
- Run your fingers in between your extensions several times throughout the day, this helps them from matting together
- Apply heat protectant before styling hair
- Use a water softener in your shower if possible! Hard water can make extensions fade and dry them out
- Be prepared to spend some extra time getting ready in the morning (more hair means longer shampoos, blow drys and combing)
DON'T
- Use shampoo that contain sulfates. Avoid products with words such as, moisturizing, intense therapy, sleek
- Wash your hair before 24-48 hours after extensions are put in to ensure the bond adheres properly
- EVER go to sleep when your hair is wet, try a loose braid instead
- Frequently swim in chlorine water, this will ruin the integrity and color of the extensions much faster
- Color your own extensions, as well as too much purple shampoo for all the blondies. Extensions can grab products, such as purple shampoo, very splotchy and uneven if you are not careful
- Go crazy with hot tools, especially the flat iron! If necessary, NEVER put the heat above 400 degrees
