PRE-INSTALLATION
- Always wash your hair extensions prior to installation while leaving the bundle wrap intact. This will allow you the opportunity to evaluate the bundles. If you detect any abnormalities kindly contact us immediately and we will resolve them accordingly.
WAVY & STRAIGHT TEXTURES
WEEKLY MAINTENANCE
- Conditioner only wash (CoWash) is recommended 2-3 times per week. This is to ensure your hair is retaining moisture and periodically cleansing any build-up that could cause matting or tangling. Should your extensions need deep conditioning, we recommend using a thick deep conditioner containing smoothing properties to minimize unwanted frizz.
to aid in the longevity of your extensions.
DAILY CARE:
-
Brush or comb through to style.
-
Apply an alcohol-free glossing polish or hair serum for shine and frizz control as needed. Excessive product may lead to stiff hair which may cause matting and tangling. When product has build-up, it is time for a CoWash!
-
Always use heat protectant when heat styling to avoid damage. Keep in mind, excessive heat styling can alter the original wave pattern and integrity of the hair (similar to your natural hair).
BEDTIME CARE:
-
Before bed, put hair into a high ponytail or roll into a bun to enhance wave pattern. Apply satin scarf or bonnet to reduce frizz and fly-aways. For bouncy waves, style with flexi-rods. After waking up, remove overnight protection and comb through using Our Favorite Hair Brush beginning at the ends and working your way up. Style as needed.

LACE PRODUCTS
Lace products can be CoWashed using the methods mentioned in this article. However, please be advised that lace products are sensitive and be mindful of using excess tension.
Our lace products are made using a ventilation method similar to a crochet and are intended to be made to look very natural and not "wiggy". To achieve this, the first few rows on your lace items are single-knotted starting from the hairline and gradually become double knotted for added durability. Please be advised that closures and frontals are expected to last 1-2 installations with proper care.
