Will you take care of your hair extensions yourself?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Proper care can protect your natural hair from damage and extend the lifespan of your hair extensions. Many people are unsure how to care for their hair extensions after installation. Let’s take a look at the care steps together.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
CLEANSE<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Brush out any tangles in your hair BEFORE showering to avoid matting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Always use SULFATE FREE shampoo & conditioner.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Gently scrub your scalp with sulfate free shampoo using the pads of your fingers and make sure to get in between your rows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Rinse thoroughly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Apply sulfate free conditioner to mid lengths and ends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 We recommend using a weekly hair mask to keep the hair in optimal condition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BRUSH<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 To properly brush, we recommend sectioning your hair and exposing the bottom weft only first. Hold the Seam of the weft with one hand gently brush with your brush starting at the bottom and working your way up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Never brush across the seams of the weft. The wefts are very delicate since they are hand-tied and the bristles of the brush can cause damage along the seams.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Next, drop down the next weft and repeat the same process brushing from the bottom and working your way up the extensions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n BLOW-DRY<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Now that you have extensions, your blow dry might take a bit longer!\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 First, get as much moisture out of your extensions using a towel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Next, get 80% of the moisture out of your extensions using only your hands and blow dryer. Make sure to point the blow-dryer down, towards your ends to help cut down on tangles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Once your hair is 80% dried, you can then use a round brush to style the extensions with minimal tension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 We do not recommend air-drying your extensions. Air drying any hand-tied wefts can lead to chaffing on the scalp. If you must, make sure to hit the seams of the wefts with the blow dryer to ensure the hair along the seam is dry. (Your scalp will thank you!)<\/p>\n\n\n\n SLEEP<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 Always brush your hair before bed using your brush.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 We recommend sleeping with your hair in a loose braid or low-loose ponytail using a scrunchie.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 For extra care, sleep on a silk pillowcase.<\/p>\n\n\n\n POOLSIDE CARE<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 We do not recommend going in salt water or chlorine with hair extensions. Always wear your hair up when heading to the pool or ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 SPF protection that is not mineral based can stain hair extensions. Particularly blonde hair extensions are susceptible to discoloration. Brunettes may notice a slight color change too. We recommend only using a MINERAL BASED SUNSCREEN.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Any use of a sunscreen that is not mineral based has ingredients called Avobenzone & Octocrylene that will turn the extensions a \u201cpinky-orange\u201d color.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u2014 To help keep your hair extensions color from fading, we recommend wearing a sunhat when you\u2019re exposed to sunlight for long periods of time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now do you understand how to care for your hair extensions?
