Your extensions are designed to move and style like your natural hair, but a little extra care goes a long way. Always use gentle, extension-safe brushes (like a wet brush or boar bristle) to avoid pulling. Hold your rows at the base while brushing to reduce tension. Avoid excessive heat on the beads and bonds. When heat styling, keep tools at no higher than 350°F. Always apply a professional heat protectant before blow drying, curling, or flat ironing.
Protect your extensions overnight to keep them looking and feeling their best. Brush gently and secure your hair in a loose braid or low ponytail before bed.
Use a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize tangling and friction. Avoid going to bed with damp hair, as this can cause matting at the scalp.
How you wash your extensions matters for longevity. Shampoo 2–3 times per week using sulfate-free, extension-safe products. Always shampoo in a vertical motion—avoid scrubbing in circles, which can cause tangles at the weft. Focus shampoo at the scalp and conditioner/mask on the mid-lengths and ends.
Rinse thoroughly to remove all product buildup.
Yes, you can enjoy the pool or ocean—just take precautions. Before swimming, wet your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner to act as a barrier.
Secure your hair in a braid or bun to minimize tangling. Rinse immediately after swimming and follow with a moisturizing mask if exposed to chlorine or salt water. Tight braids or buns are the best way to avoid tangling and matting when submerging your hair in water (pools, lakes, oceans)
