PRIOR TO APPLICATION
pre-care instructions for all american hairlines products
- When you first receive your order, inspect product to ensure the color and style are correct.
- Before washing, use a wide-tooth HairUWear detangling comb to remove any tangles.
- Rinse with cool water.
- Wash gently, patting shampoo through the hair in a downwards motion from roots to ends.
- Keep hair all going in the same direction. Do not rub back and forth or use a circulation motion.
- Rinse. Repeat if necessary.
- Towel dry hair, patting gently without rubbing or friction to avoid tangling and shedding.
- The system is now ready for custom coloring and perming or cut-in.
Please note: Once a system has been chemically processed (colored, permed, etc.) and/or modified in any way (base cut, hair cut, adhesive applied, etc.) it cannot be returned or exchanged for any reason.
how the magic happens
1
The application area is shaved for the most secure attachment.
2
Once the system has been customized to match the density and color of your client’s natural hair, its micro-thin base is carefully bonded to the scalp. Any excess base is then trimmed away.
3
Trim, shape and style.
4
Schedule your client for regular maintenance.

AFTER APPLICATION
post-care instructions for bonded and integrated systems
- Wait at least 24 hours after application to wash hair.
- To style hair prior to the 24-hour waiting period, spray hair with water, and style as desired. Be careful to not wet the bonded area. Wetting the bonded area may interfere with the adhesive strength.
- Wait at least 24 hours after application to engage in activities that could cause perspiration, such as exercise, hot climates, wearing hats or other head coverings, etc.
- After the 24-hour waiting period, wash and style your new hair as follows:
- Using a small amount of color-safe, sulfate-free shampoo, wash gently, patting shampoo through the hair in a downwards motion from roots to ends. Keep hair all going in the same direction. Do not rub back and forth or use a circulation motion.
- Rinse. Then condition using a small amount of colorsafe conditioner. Gently pat conditioner through the hair in a downwards motion, from the mid-shaft to the ends, avoiding the base and root. (Caution: Applying conditioner to the base may cause shedding.)
- Leave conditioner on for 1-2 minutes or follow the conditioner manufacturer’s instructions. Do not exceed 3-5 minutes.
- Pat hair dry with a soft towel. Do not rub back and forth to avoid tangling and shedding. Style as desired.
