Hair Extension After Care

Brush your hair extensions gently, starting at the ends and working your way up to the root.

Use a Wet brush that works gently over extensions. Use recommended hair oils and serums to help detangle and hydrate. Avoid excessive brushing at the top of your wefts to prevent snagging or pulling. Brush daily.

Do not shampoo the hair within the first 48 hours of the installation. Wash your hair at most 3 times a week. Before washing hair extensions, brush thoroughly while dry to remove any teasing or tangles. After wetting the hair well, with lukewarm water, gently apply the shampoo to the root area.

For Ktips: Using your fingers, lightly massage between the bonds, separating them to remove any residue and oils.

For Wefts: Using your palm, lightly massage between the wefts, separating them to remove any residue and oils.

Do not vigorously scrub your hair as tangling may occur. Apply conditioner from mid-length to the ends. Never condition at the root area. For deeper conditioning, leave the conditioner on for a few extra minutes or use a hydrating treatment once a week.

After getting out of the shower, let your hair extensions air-dry for about 10 minutes or gently dry the base of extensions first with a hair towel, then move to ends making sure it's 80% dry before you use your detangling brush. Apply a leave in conditioner, spray or serum from halfway to ends when damp to help detangle. Avoid getting product on the root. Start at your ends and avoid pulling on the extensions by holding the weft or tip when brushing them out. Air drying is preferred if possible. Avoiding heat is good for your hair extensions. If you blow dry, using a heat protectant is highly recommended. Do not exceed medium heat setting and use a concentrator on hairdryer to avoid tangling or matting and continually detangle with your paddle brush while drying.

Apply a leave-in conditioner on dry hair to shield hair extensions from heat damage. DO NOT exceed a heat setting of 350 degrees!  A blow dryer, flat iron, or curling iron may be used to style or restyle. Use a hair oil daily on dry hair and as often as needed. Our scalp only produces enough natural oils for our natural hair, so you will need to supplement with a hair serum to allow continued moisture for longevity of your extensions.

Never go to bed with your hair extensions wet. Gently blow-dry your hair or air dry before catching some zzz's. Detangle your hair extensions with your extension brush each night. Sleep with your hair extensions in a braid or low ponytail held with a soft scrunchie and use a silk or satin pillowcase.

We do not recommend swimming in chlorinated water. If you do choose to swim with your hair extensions, please know that you are doing so at your own risk. If choosing to swim, take the time to prep your hair by rinsing with water, combing conditioner through mid lengths and ends with fingers and pulling it back into a low loose braid to reduce the absorption of chlorine and salt. Dry hair acts like a sponge, so swimming without the extra moisture will cause your hair to absorb excessive dirt, salts and chemicals. Chlorine and salt can cause extensions to become dry, brittle, matted, or dull. Chlorine can cause color changes that in most cases are permanent. Immediately after swimming, rinse through your hair with water to limit further damage. Wash and condition to remove all impurities. Deep conditioning is highly recommended after swimming.
