HAIR CARE TIPS

Caring for your extensions is critical to maintaining longevity and preserving it’s luster. You should treat your extensions as if it were your own natural hair, and give it the up most care. Keeping your extensions in tip top shape can be tricky so here are a couple of suggestions to help you maintain your investment!

Inspection
First and foremost inspect your hair bundles the moment you receive them. If you have any issues, leave the bundles in tact and contact us at (312) 725-0198 or email us using the form on the contact page for further assistance. Or, you can simply return the bundles immediately (please refer to return policy for more info).

Co- Washing
We highly recommend Co- washing your bundles before installing them. After Co-washing, hang the hair and allow it to fully air dry. Some recommended products for Co-washing are Redken All Soft Conditioner, or TRESemme’ Moisture Rich Conditioner. You can use any product of your choice, but try to stay away from products that will weigh the hair down or leave a residue feeling.

Care & Maintenance
Treat your extensions as you would treat your own hair. Use quality shampoo and conditioning products. Conditioning the hair contributes to its longevity and keeps the hair soft an manageable. Some of our favorite Shampoo and Conditioners are Redken All Soft and TRESemme’ Moisture Rich. Use a wide tooth comb and paddle brush for detangling.

Do not use too much product on your extensions as this can cause build up and tangling. Avoid using heavy styling products. Use a light natural oil such as Argan oil to prevent the hair from drying out and give it a nice shine with out weighing it down.

All of our hair bundles can be straightened and colored unless stated otherwise. We recommend using a heat protectant when using any heat styling tools.

If wearing curly extensions we recommend using a curl enhancing product to control frizzing and lock in the curl. Our favorite products to use are Aveda- Be Curly Curl Enhancer, Quida- Curl Quencher, and DevaCurl- Arg Angel Gel. Start by shampooing or wetting the hair. Thoroughly detangle the hair using a paddle brush. Apply product and comb/brush through. Tip:we recommend using a Denman Heavy Weight styling brush. This brush works really well for product distribution and it makes the curls pop. Next, scrunch the hair using your hands and allow the hair to air dry.

Bedtime Care
Gently brush hair to ensure it is free of all tangles. Section the hair and braid into 2-4 plaits. Sleep in silk/satin scarf or bonnet. Or, pin hair up in a bun or pineapple ponytail and tie with silk/satin scarf. You can also wrap the hair or use rollers. It pretty much depends on what you prefer based on your styling.
