Hair Care
Installs are to be done by a person with experience. While bundles can last 1-2 years with proper care, lace frontals and closures are more delicate and need to be replaced, customized, styled, and maintained properly by persons experienced.
Bundles should be treated like your real hair, if not better. The wrong products, improper sleep habits, or lack of basic hair knowledge will damage your hair extensions making them unmanageable. To maintain the integrity of your hair extensions use heat moderately. High temperatures can damage the hair and will lessen the life span of your hair. Damaged hair will result in dryness, tangles, and eventually shedding. Use minimum styling products to be sure your extensions are not weighed down. Alcohol free styling products are best. Prevent the use of oils on hair.
Laces have to be treated delicately! Lace frontals or closures are not meant to last forever, with proper care you can reuse your lace up to 5 times. To prevent premature shedding, carefully bleach and pluck your lace or get the help of someone skilled to do so. Hair is attached to a lace with a simple knot, improper customization and/or roughness will cause premature shedding. Lace closures and frontals will shed over time.
INITIAL HAIR CARE
- Always wash and condition your hair thoroughly before use. Be sure to do so in a downward motion, do not ball the hair up.
- Detangling is best to do with a wide tooth comb using conditioner, working from bottom to top.
- Leave conditioner on for 20+ minutes to deep condition the hair. Then, thoroughly rinse with cold water.
- Air dry hair.
STRAIGHT + WAVY
- Co-wash hair weekly with a moisture rich conditioner.
- Only use shampoo if you notice your hair has buildup, or looks/feels heavy. Always follow up with conditioner (deep conditioning is even better), rinse with cold water.
- Add styling products (alcohol, sulfate, and oil free) while hair is still damp then style it and leave it to air dry completely. Frequently touching, or brushing hair while it is drying will cause frizz.
