Hair Extension Care Guide

Always use a soft-bristle brush or a wide-tooth comb specifically designed for extensions. This prevents tangling and minimizes stress on your extensions. We recommend an Unbrush. Be especially gentle when brushing near the wefts to avoid loosening the ties.

Start brushing from the ends of your hair and work your way up to the roots. Hold the base of the extensions to avoid pulling on the bonds or wefts. Brush your hair 2-3 times a day to prevent tangling and matting.

Opt for loose braids or buns when sleeping or exercising to minimize friction and tangling. While minimal heat exposure is ideal, applying a heat protectant spray, avoiding direct heat on the bonds or tapes, and setting your tools to a medium heat setting will help preserve your extensions and natural hair.

Choose shampoos, conditioners, and styling products that are specifically formulated for extensions. Look for products that are sulfate-free, paraben-free, and alcohol-free to avoid drying out the hair. Keep products light, as heavy or oil-based products can cause the hand-tied wefts to slip or become weighed down.

Wash your hair in a downward motion, being careful not to rub or twist the hair excessively. Focus on cleaning your scalp and gently cleanse the extensions. Apply a moisturizing, sulfate-free conditioner from mid-length to the ends of your hair. Avoid the roots and attachment points to prevent slipping or loosening of the extensions. Gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel. Avoid vigorous towel drying, as this can cause tangling. Allow your hair to air dry whenever possible, or use a blow dryer on a cool, low setting.

Regular salon visits are essential to maintaining healthy, beautiful extensions. We recommend every 6-8 weeks. To preserve your hair between visits, consider purchasing a silk pillowcases to reduce friction, tangling, and matting while you sleep. Aim to wash your hair 2-3 times a week at most, as any more could over-wash the extensions and cause damage.  Chlorine and saltwater can damage and discolor your extensions. If you plan on swimming, protect your hair by wearing a swim cap or applying a leave-in conditioner before entering the water.
