We will never gatekeep.
How you care for your hair is our priority. So we’ve compiled our favorite hair care essentials that we can’t live without.
Finding a hair routine with (or without) hair extensions can be overwhelming. Social media can leave us wanting (and impulse buying) many products and tools that sometimes are just not worth the hype.
So here’s a list of all our favorite products and tools right now. This way, you can leave the research, time and investment for testing to us. We will never recommend a product we wouldn’t use on our own hair.
Let’s start with the holy grail, shall we?
ILES Finishing Serum Haute Performance
Why we love it: It’s lightweight, making it a perfect leave-in for extensions. It acts as a heat protectant and frizz preventative. This serum leaves your hair feeling smooth and looking glossy.
How to use it: Apply to wet hair after washing and before blow drying and styling. Work it into your wet locks prior to brushing to help with the detangling process. Remember, your hair is most fragile while wet.
For product pairings, this serum is part of the recommended triple threat. Keep reading along for the two other products that complement the serum.
Where to buy it: At your next Kashmir appointment or directly on their site here.
BIO IONIC Long Barrel Curling Iron 1.25”
Why we love it: Talk about holy grails, this curling iron is IT. It gives big soft waves and helps to achieve those Kashmir curls. The extra long barrel on this iron makes for a much easier time curling long extensions.
How to use it: This iron has multiple heat settings. We recommend you keep your hair at 320-360 for perfect (and heat safe) waves.

ILES Hair Mask Haute Performance
Why we love it: If you want the softest extensions, this is the product for you.
This mask hydrates and nourishes your hair making it feel it’s healthiest between washes.
Like all ILES products, it’s lightweight and completely color safe. Oh, and it’s perfect for those extra dry winter months - hydration here we come!
How to use it: Apply to wet hair after shampooing and before conditioning.
Use a generous amount and work it in from your scalp to your ends. Leave in as long as you can (5 to 20-minutes), rinse and condition.
For product pairings, this hair mask is part of the recommended triple threat. Keep reading along for the third product. We recommend using this mask with the ILES Finishing Serum.
Where to buy it: At your next Kashmir appointment or directly on their site here.
Fresh New Wefts
Why we love it: There is nothing better than new hair. New hair wefts (even 2-3 new pieces) will give you that renewed feeling.
Remember how you felt walking out of your first install? The confidence you had, that red carpet moment feeling?
New hair will give you that.
How to use it: We recommend replacing your hair every six months at least. Another option we love and recommend is replacing wefts as you go.
Replacing 1-2 pieces every appointment will not only break up the cost but also give your extensions a freshen up at every appointment.
Come on, what’s not to love?
Where to buy it: At your next Kashmir appointment.
TECHNI.ART Next Day Hair
Why we love it: First things first, this product smells SO GOOD.
Probably the best smelling hair product we’ve used. When we use it on clients after a fresh curl, the first thing we hear is “WOW this smells so good!”
Aside from the glorious smell, Next Day Hair is an elite texture and finishing spray. It helps you achieve that undone, effortlessly tousled look.
How to use it: We use it after curling and typically before (and sometimes after) the comb out.
Where to buy it: At your next Kashmir appointment.
ILES Curl Revive Haute Performance
Why we love it: What’s not to love? This product was created for textured hair but works on all hair types. It’s a heat and humidity protectant.
Compared to other ILES products, it leaves a weightier result but still lighter than other leave-ins. Curl Revive leaves your hair feeling like cashmere, or should we say Kashmir.
How to use it: For straight hair, apply to wet hair after conditioning and before blow drying. For curly hair, apply liberally to curls and blow dry.
For product pairings, this product is part of the recommended triple threat. We recommend using it with the ILES Finishing Serum and ILES Hair Mask for best results.
Where to buy it: At your next Kashmir appointment or directly on their site here.
We’re confident that adding these essentials to your hair care routine will keep your hair looking its best all year round.
