BraidSafe® Pre-Soak Concentrate · 250ml

Because beautifully packaged hair isn’t necessarily prepared for installation. Before reaching you, extensions may have been coloured, coated, chemically treated or finished during manufacturing. Preparing them first gives you a chance to cleanse the fibres before they are fitted close to your hair and scalp. BraidSafe® makes that step simple: a dedicated, measured soak and rinse preparation routine, developed for factory processed extensions. Think of it as Step Zero, preparation before installation.

A 2026 study led by Silent Spring Institute examined commercially available hair extensions and identified chemicals including certain flame retardants, phthalates, pesticides and organotin compounds across the samples studied. The researchers investigated synthetic and bio based extensions, including human hair. These findings raise important questions about factory processing and what consumers know about the products they wear. That is why we believe preparation before installation deserves a place in every extension care conversation. Read the research: Read the research

BraidSafe® is a science led, multi action hair preparation concentrate for factory processed extensions, for use before installation. It brings cleansing, chelation and pH controlled preparation together in one measured soak and rinse routine to help lift surface residues and bind certain metal ions during preparation. It is designed for the hair you are about to install, not for washing your scalp.

Apple cider vinegar is an acidic household rinse. But acidity is only one part of extension preparation. BraidSafe® was purpose developed for the task, combining cleansing technology, chelation and pH controlled preparation in a single concentrate. You get clear measurements, defined soaking times and a routine designed specifically for factory processed extensions. It is more than simply adding acid to water.

Shampoo has an important place in hair care. BraidSafe® has a different job: preparing loose factory processed extensions before installation. Its multi action formula combines cleansing ingredients with chelation and pH control, with separate measured instructions for synthetic and processed human hair. It turns an often overlooked step into a consistent preparation routine.

No single preparation method can guarantee the removal of every substance from every type of extension. BraidSafe® is formulated with science backed cleansing and chelating technology to help loosen surface residues and bind certain metal ions during a soak and rinse process. Its role is to provide a purposeful preparation step before installation, not to promise that extensions become chemical free.
