Washing
Brush out extensions with a WetBrush prior to getting into the shower. This will help with tangles and possible matting. Shampoo and condition gently between each row. Ensure your shampoo and conditioner are sulfate and paraben free. We only maintain hair that is cared for with professional products, damaged occurred to wefts due to improper washing will not be guaranteed.
Make sure to lift up and rinse each section of your hair to ensure proper rinsing has occurred. After you shower, spray with a conditioning detangle spray and apply a light weight oil or serum. When brushing start from the bottom and work your way up. Be sure to hold the weft with one hand and brush gently. Alway brush from the top and underneath to avoid matting.
Squeeze your hair and blot with a towel – DON’T rub your hair!

Styling
Apply desired styling products. Power dry hair 80% of the way. Do not tug or pull on the extensions with a brush or comb while the hair is soaking wet. Use your hands only and be sure to dry the connection points thoroughly. Hair has more elasticity when wet and to keep your extensions from sliding out ALL brush styling should be done after the hair is almost dry. Please inform all stylists drying your hair to do the same.
Do not forget to use heat protectant spray when styling with hot tools
