Hair Care

• Avoid excessive product use, as buildup can cause stiffness and tangling.
  • A clarifying shampoo may be needed to remove heavy product build-up.
• Use light weight oils or alcohol-free serums for shine and frizz control. 
• Always detangle extensions starting at the ends
  • For curly patterns, apply water or light leave-in conditioner before wide tooth combing or brushing extensions.
    
• Always use a heat protectant when styling. Frequent heat styling may slightly alter the hair’s natural wave pattern, similar to natural hair.
• At night, protect with a satin scarf or bonnet to minimize frizz and flyaways.
  • Use flexi-rods or heatless curlers overnight to maintain heat styled curls.
  • Tie hair into a high ponytail, bun, or twists to maintain the natural curl pattern.
• Wash extensions once a week-every two weeks with sulfate free products.
  • Avoid excessive rubbing when washing your extensions to prevent tangling. 
  • Dry shampoo can be used between washes when hair is heat styled.
  • Curly hair may need to be co-washed more often.
  • If your extensions feel dry, you can skip shampooing and instead co-wash to refresh the hair without stripping moisture.
• Shampoo vs Co-Wash
  • Shampoo: Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo to cleanse the hair when needed, removing buildup and impurities. Avoid over-washing, which can dry the hair.
  • Co-Wash: Use a cleansing conditioner to refresh and detangle the hair without stripping natural moisture. Ideal for dry or chemically treated extensions.

Installation Tips

• Co-wash extensions before installing.
• Avoid cutting the wefts, as this can cause excessive shedding and reduce the longevity of your extensions.
  • Consider using weft sealant for added durability.
• Store your extensions in a silk or satin bag between installs to maintain their texture, prevent tangling, and protect the hair’s integrity.

Coloring

Our hair is 100% unprocessed, so it can be colored just like natural hair. If you decide to dye your extensions, always use a licensed hair professional and take precautions to protect the integrity of the hair. Keep in mind once the hair has been chemically altered, its natural pattern may loosen slightly.
