brushing
- ONE OF THE MOST IMPORTANT PARTS OF CARING FOR YOUR EXTENSIONS IS PROPERLY BRUSHING THEM AT LEAST TWICE A DAY.
- BE SURE TO HOLD THE WEFT LINE WITH ONE HAND AND START BRUSHING GENTLY JUST BELOW THAT WORKING FROM THE ENDS UP.
- BRUSHING AGGRESSIVELY OVER THE WEFT LINE WILL CREATE “LOOPING” WHERE THE HAIR IS HAND TIED ON AND MOST TIMES THE WEFT CANNOT BE SALVAGED.
- NOT BRUSHING ALL THE WAY UP TO THE WEFT COULD LEAVE TANGLES BEHIND THAT COULD START CREATING MATTING AT THE ROOT.
washing
- BEFORE GETTING IN THE SHOWER, PROPERLY BRUSH YOUR HAIR TO GET OUT ANY TANGLES. TRUST US, THEY ARE EASIER TO GET OUT OF DRY HAIR THAN THEY ARE WET HAIR.
- SHAMPOO TWICE WITH A SULFATE AND PARABEN FREE SHAMPOO WHILE BEING MINDFUL TO NOT CREATE TOO MUCH FRICTION WHEN WASHING.
- MAKE SURE TO WASH AND RINSE UNDER EACH ROW THOROUGHLY SO NO RESIDUE IS LEFT BEHIND.
- LEAVE A HYDRATING CONDITIONER ON THE MIDS/ENDS OF YOUR EXTENSIONS FOR 5-7 MINUTES.
styling
- THE KEY TO KEEPING THE LONGEVITY OF EXTENSIONS IS USING LESS HEAT AND PROPER BRUSHING.
- APPLY OIL TO YOUR EXTENSIONS PRIOR TO BLOW DRYING TO HELP DETANGLE, ADD SHINE AND HEAT PROTECTION, AND NOURISH ENDS.
- BLOW DRY IN A DOWNWARD MOTION ON MEDIUM HEAT BEING CAREFUL TO NOT LET YOUR BLOW DRYER GET TOO CLOSE TO YOUR HAIR.
- APPLY A HEAT PROTECTANT BEFORE STYLING WITH ANY HOT TOOLS TO INCREASE THE LONGEVITY OF YOUR HAIR. THIS IS A MUST.
- KEEPING HAIR IN A LOW PONY OR BRAID AT NIGHT WILL HELP KEEP TANGLES AT BAY, AND USING A SILK PILLOWCASE WILL GIVE YOU EVEN MORE PROTECTION!
- DRYING AT LEAST THE TOPS OF THE WEFTS WILL HELP MAINTAIN THEM EVEN IF YOU AIR DRY YOUR ENDS. LEAVING TOO MUCH MOISTURE IN YOUR WEFTS TOO OFTEN, WILL CAUSE THEM TO SWELL OVER TIME AND SHORTEN THEIR LIFESPAN.
- WHEN DOING A PONYTAIL OR UPDO, FLIPPING YOUR WEFTS UP INTO A HIGH PONY IS THE BEST OPTION. IF YOU LIKE TO WEAR A LOW PONYTAIL, JUST KEEP IN MIND THAT IT CAN PUT EXTRA TENSION ON THOSE FRONT BEADS, SO ONLY DO THIS OCCASIONALLY.
activities
- ALWAYS PREP YOUR HAIR WITH A MIXTURE OF WATER/CONDITIONER BEFORE ENJOYING ANY WATER ACTIVITIES AND RINSE IMMEDIATELY AFTERWARDS.
- USING 2 TIGHT BRAIDS OR BUNS IS THE BEST WAY TO AVOID TANGLING/MATTING WHEN SUBMERGING YOUR HAIR IS WATER. USING A PONYTAIL OR LOOSE BRAID MAY NOT CONTAIN THE HAIR ENOUGH.
products
- USING EXCESSIVE VOLUMIZERS ON YOUR EXTENSION HAIR CAN CAUSE THEM TO FEEL DRY.
- USING PRODUCTS THAT ARE NOT SULFATE FREE, PARABEN FREE, OR HAVE TOO MUCH PROTEIN IN THEM CAN CAUSE A BUILD UP ON YOUR EXTENSIONS AND SHORTEN THEIR LIFE SPAN.
