✅ Daily Hair Extension Care Tips
-
Brushing
Always use a soft bristle or loop brush. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid unnecessary tension on the bonds or tapes. -
Washing
Wash your extensions 2–3 times per week. Use sulfate-free shampoo and hydrating conditioner to keep the hair nourished. Gently squeeze out excess water—never rub harshly. -
Drying
Pat dry with a towel and let the hair air-dry whenever possible. If using a blow dryer, keep the heat on low to medium settings. -
Styling
You can use flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers since our hair is 100% human. Just remember to always apply a heat protectant to prevent dryness. -
Sleeping
Before bed, loosely braid your hair or tie it in a low ponytail. This prevents tangling and matting overnight.
🚫 What to Avoid
-
Do not apply conditioner, oils, or heavy masks directly to the bonds/tapes.
-
Avoid salty or chlorinated water without protection (like a swim cap).
-
Don’t brush when the hair is completely wet—wait until it’s damp.
