The Extension Emergency Kit: What Every Woman Should Know
The Extension Emergency Kit: What Every Woman Should Know
Let’s face it — hair drama happens.
Whether it’s rain, last-minute installs, or product sabotage, every extension-wearing woman needs a game plan.
At Christian Michael Hair Extensions, we’ve seen it all — and we’ve built our care line and systems to help you recover, refresh, and never panic in public.
Here’s your go-to guide for surviving the most common extension emergencies — and coming out better on the other side.
💦 1. Caught in the Rain? Don't Touch It.
The problem: Frizz, tangling, and mid-head pouf.
The fix: Hands off. Let the hair dry naturally or gently blot with a microfiber towel. Then reset with:
-
✨ Hydrating Leave-In Mist
Smooths flyaways and reactivates the hair’s shape without weight or buildup.
🚫 2. Used the Wrong Product? Clarify It Fast.
The problem: You grabbed a heavy drugstore shampoo or oily serum — now your hair feels gummy or greasy.
The fix: Do an emergency cleanse:
-
🧴 Gentle Clarifying Wash
Removes buildup without drying or stripping your extensions. Follow with a deep conditioner.
⏱️ 3. Last-Minute Install? Here’s How to Fake the Prep
The problem: Your stylist’s squeezed you in — but your extensions weren’t washed, brushed, or ready.
The fix: Keep your kit stocked with:
-
💁Detangling Spray – Works miracles in minutes
-
🪮 Wide-tooth comb
-
📦 Travel-size wash & condition duo
-
🧳 One extra bundle (yes, seriously — always keep a backup!)
🎨 4. Brassiness Bomb? Blonde Hair SOS.
The problem: Your icy blonde has turned… well, yellow.
The fix: Tone down the panic with:
-
🌫️ Color-Safe Shampoo (pH-balanced) – Won’t strip or over-tone
-
💧 Use cold water only
-
✋ No purple shampoo unless it's extension-safe (most aren’t)
🔥 5. Burnt Smell While Styling? That’s Protein Breakdown.
The problem: You applied heat to dirty or low-quality hair — now it smells like burnt plastic.
The fix:
-
Wash with CM clarifier
-
Rehydrate with Recovery Mask
-
Keep heat tools under 400°F (seriously)
Pro Tip: Our hair is heat-tested to stay fresh, not fried — but even premium hair needs proper protection.
🛏️ 6. Slept Without Wrapping? Fix It Without Panic.
The problem: You forgot to braid, bonnet, or silk-wrap. Your extensions are dry and tangled.
The fix:
-
Apply Leave-In Mist
-
Detangle from ends up
-
Add a bit of Lightweight Oil to revive softness
Then promise yourself you’ll never sleep like that again.
🧠 7. Mental Breakdown Incoming? Breathe — You’ve Got the Kit.
The problem: You’re 10 minutes from leaving, and your hair is not cooperating.
The fix:
Keep this mini emergency kit in your car, bag, or bathroom drawer:
-
Detangling comb
-
Mini leave-in spray
-
Dry shampoo (extension-safe)
-
Bobby pins + elastic
-
Small silk scarf
-
Confidence. (Pack it like lip gloss.)
