At Tease Hair Boutique, we believe extensions are more than just length—they’re an upgrade to your entire look. Whether you’ve had your tape-in, K-tip, or hand-tied extensions for weeks or you’re prepping for a big event, our stylists have the insider tips and luxury product picks to keep your hair looking flawless between salon visits.

Here’s your pro-level styling guide, featuring our salon favorites from Kérastase, Redken, and more.


1. Prep for Perfection

Healthy extensions start with good habits. Before applying any heat, mist mid-lengths and ends (avoiding the bonds) with a thermal protectant. We love Kérastase Extentioniste Thermique Blow Dry Primer for up to 450 °F heat protection while sealing split ends—essential for keeping extensions strong, smooth, and shiny.


2. Volume at the Crown

Extensions blend seamlessly with fine or virgin hair, but root lift makes all the difference. Use a lightweight volumizing powder like Kenra Volume Powder 20 at the crown for invisible hold and separation.


 Pro tip: Tape-ins lay flat against the scalp, sometimes reducing natural lift. K-tips and hand-tied wefts allow more flexibility for crown volume—ask your stylist which suits your goals.


3. Blowout Refresh

In between visits, revive extensions with a targeted blowout:

  • Apply Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate Leave-In Conditioner to damp lengths for strength.

  • Smooth and dry with a round brush on medium heat.

  • Finish with Kérastase Chroma Absolu Gloss Serum for shine and color vibrancy.


4. Curling Correctly

Extensions curl beautifully—but moderation is key. 

  • Rule number one - when using heat styling tools, always use a heat protectant.

  • Use ceramic or tourmaline tools on medium heat, focusing on mid-lengths and ends.

  • Alternate curl directions for movement, and set with a light to mid-weight hair spray like Kérastase Laque Couture Medium Hold Hairspray for hold without crunch.


5. Seamless Ponytails & Updos

To hide wefts:

  • Place ponytails just below the crown and “stack” sections for coverage.

  • Wrap a strand around the base and secure it with discreet pins. This technique keeps updos looking polished and extension-free to the eye.


6. Overnight & Second-Day Hair

Extend your style with our bedtime blueprint:

  • Sleep on a silk pillowcase to minimize frizz.

  • Secure hair in a loose braid or top knot with a satin scrunchie. Apply Kérastase Nutritive 8H Magic Night Serum to mid-lengths and ends for overnight hydration.


7. Blonde & Bright Color Care

For blends with highlights or lighter face-framing pieces:

  • Kérastase Blond Absolu Bain Ultra-Violet Shampoo to neutralize brassiness.

  • Redken Blondage High Bright to cleanse and brighten.

  • Follow with Kérastase Cicaflash or Masque Ultra-Violet for moisture and bond strength.


8. Longevity Rules

To keep your extensions looking salon-fresh:

  • Avoid heavy oils and silicones near bonds.

  • Use only sulfate-free shampoos like Redken Acidic Bond Concentrate Shampoo.

  • Schedule refresh appointments every 6–9 weeks for maintenance.


Bottom Line

Extensions are only as beautiful as the care and styling behind them. At Tease Hair Boutique, we’ll show you how to keep your blend fresh, natural, and high-fashion, every day until your next appointment.
