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.)
