Washing Your Extensions
-
Brush thoroughly before washing.

Always use professional products.
-
Only use products that are sulfate/paraben free. Use a leave-in conditioner and treat with a mask once a week if necessary.
-
Shampoo twice to get a good lather in between rows.
-
Apply conditioner mid-shift, or low ponytail down.
-
Keep the conditioner or other moisturizing products off your rows.
-
Towel dry is recommended as much as possible.
Maintaining Your Extensions
-
Brush hair thoroughly multiple times a day.
-
With your free hand, keep pressure on the base of your row to eliminate tension and pulling while you brush your rows and brush in between each one.
-
Don't forget a daily serum.
-
Daily use of an oil /serum will help to keep your hair soft and manageable.
-
Avoid tinted oils which will tarnish blonde extensions.
Styling Your Extensions
-
If applying heat, use a heat protectant to protect from drying or discoloration.
-
Thoroughly dry the wefts. Allow for extra drying time as the weft rows are dense and hold more moisture.
-
Make sure your hair is 100% dry before styling with hot tools.
-
Recommended heat setting for hot tools is 250-300 degrees.
Bed Time
-
Be diligent about a nighttime prep routine.
-
Never go to sleep with wet hair. It can cause extreme matting and tangling. Place hair in a loose top know or braid.
-
Use a silk pillowcase to keep hair manageable and frizz-free.
