Extensions – Care & Maintenance

Extensions need removing but can’t get to the Salon?

We are aware that salons and stylists have suspended service at this time, due to the potential health risks and we completely agree that no one should take any risks at this time. 

Whilst during normal times, we advise that bonded extensions should be kept in for 5 months and tape extensions for 6 to 8 weeks, as long as. you continue with your maintenance regime of daily brushing and separating around the attachment areas, you should experience no adverse effects from the extensions staying in over the usual recommended wear time. 

These are exceptional times and we would urge you to maintain rather than attempt removal via any other means that with a professional certified extensionist. The potential to cause damage to your hair due to non-professional removal is a genuine risk and therefore we would never endorse this. 

Please be assured, we want to ensure you are protected and the safest advice is offered to get through these unprecedented times. Full details on how to help maintain your extensions can be requested from your stylist or sent to you, please get in touch at info@lisashepherd.co.uk if you require further information.

Overuse of Blue / Corrective Shampoos

I have used pretty much all that there are available when it comes to blue or corrective shampoos that are on the market! Some i love, some not so! For me, the problem is when they’re overused and we are seeing a lot of this at the moment in the salon with clients looking for a brighten up blonde over!

If we could control the level of tone with the shampoo that would be fab but most shampoos are pretty generic and it’s a one fits all approach which as we know, that’s just not how hair works. There then becomes a build up which makes the blonde almost disappear in appearance – it goes flat, dull and almost dry looking!

It’s IMPORTANT to keep the blonde clean and “detoxed” (watch this space!). It’s also IMPORTANT to keep brassy tones at bay, but any corrective product should work alongside a healthy prescribed hair and scalp regime. Think like The Hair Boss and utilise a 4 step hair care regime to combat those known issues.

1. Scrub
2. Shampoo
3. Condition
4. Style

It’s important that your shampoo and conditioner are prescribed to suit your hair type / density / thickness / colour background etc but corrective products should work hand in hand with your regime. You can dip in and out of the regime (none of us have the time to do all 4 steps every time we wash) and try to stick to it once a week at least, we should be doing all 4 steps eg on your girlie night / bath night / time for you night.

It may seem daunting but it can be so rewarding for your hair!

Dreams do come true – The Hair Boss Launch

One of my BIGGEST achievements last year was the announcement and launch of The Hair Boss. This has been such a long time coming! I’ve worked on this for such a long time, i’m talking YEARS! I have almost launched something so many other times, yet something or someone stopped me along the way for various reasons!

I’ve always been led by my intuition and for me the brand is so much more than me! The team HAD to be right! I wanted a British team who are just as dedicated and passionate about haircare as I am! I feel i have always had the ability to see gaps in the market and this growing product range certainly was needed! The team I now have behind me are super reactive and knowledgeable enough to get the job done right and over and above all. These products and everything planned thereafter are FAB and all have a reason to be on a shelf – we have HUGE plans for this little brand so keep um peeled!

Products are currently being rolled out in Superdrug stores across the UK! Be sure to tag us in if you spot us on the shelves, or better still give us a go!
