THE STUDIO X · CARE & PRODUCT GUIDES
Beautiful hair.
Thoughtful everyday care.
Looking for products for your hair extensions rather than an installation? Start here. You do not need to book an appointment or complete a Hair Assessment to shop the product recommendations.
Shop the Goldie Locks aftercare guide
A product-by-product guide to shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, serum, masks and dry shampoo, with practical placement guidance for extension wearers.

Choose by what you actually need
A wash-day routine
Begin with the cleanser and conditioner recommended for your specific attachment system. The guide explains the Goldie Locks options and where to apply them. A sulfate-free label alone is not proof that a product suits every extension method.
Extra help with the lengths and ends
Compare leave-in conditioner, serum and mask options rather than buying every product automatically. For fine hair, product amount and placement matter. Follow your stylist's instructions and the current product label.
Between-wash care and refills
Find the dry-shampoo listing and bookmark your regular products for reordering. Between-wash products do not replace scalp cleansing, and no product replaces professional maintenance or timely removal.

Care instructions come before product claims
Your installation-specific instructions take priority over general internet advice. Keep styling oils and rich treatments away from attachment points unless your stylist directs otherwise. Do not pull through matting, sleep with wet extensions or postpone removal because a product promises longer wear.
For slipping bonds, tangling at the roots or discomfort, contact your installer for a review instead of trying to repair or remove the installation yourself.
