Like your regular hair, your clip in hair extensions need some tender loving care to stay in great condition. Proper care helps them look great and last longer. With a regular maintenance plan in place, your clip-ins hair extensions can look even more sleek and beautiful when you choose to wear them.
1. Daily use of your extensions
(1) How do I care for my hair on a daily/weekly basis?
You can look at our hair care guide in the package you received.
(2) How often should i wash my curls?
Ideally you should be rewetting and detangling the hair at least once a week. Doing so will result in fewer tangles and keep your new curls manageable.
(3) How do i care for my curls at night?
Sleep in a Bonnet, Pineapple or Pocket Bonnet/Scarf.All must be satin or silk material.
(4) Can I swim or play sports with my hair extensions clipped in?
As our hair is 100% human virgin hair, it will shed and tangle like our own hair. The slight shedding is normal and will not affect your wear. In order to get the longest wear from your extensions, care for these curls like your own hair.
The life expectancy of the hair is solely dependent on the care and daily routine you provide to your hair. Please avoid chemical harm or heat harm.
If well maintained, our hair can last 5-6 months for daily installation. If you have a professional stylist help you maintain your hair regularly, it will last more than one year. (some of our customers who have the experience to last our hair more than two years with better maintenance themselves.)
(5)How do i storage my extensions?
While not being used for a while, you can store them in the original packaging or any box or bag that keeps them safe. You don’t want them to get tangled with jewelry or to get dusty or dirty.
Don’t store them wet! Air drying is great but you don’t want them to get musty in a closed container.
Always brush them before you store them.
2. Washing your extensions
(1) How do i washing/conditioning my curls?
- Prewash. A prewash consists of putting your favorite detangling product then going in section by section and gently detangling with a brush or your fingers. (This step is optional)
- Step into the shower and soak the hair completely. Use either a gentle shampoo or co-wash to cleanse your hair of any product. If you decide to use a co-wash in your routine alternate every other wash with real shampoo. Shampoo twice if needed, but avoid overwashing the hair.
- Thoroughly rinse out co-wash/shampoo and apply your fav conditioner to your curls. Gently brush out your curls with a paddle brush. Part your hair into sections and detangle starting at your ends and working your way to the roots. We advise you to let your conditioner sit for about 5-10 mins.
- Drying. Once curls are fully detangled, cleansed, and conditioned. Add a light leave-in conditioner and gel for styling. To dry the hair either diffuse or air-dry.
Notice:
- As with any clip-in hair extensions, minimal hair fallout when wash the clip ins which is an expected occurence.
- Do not over-wash your hair, this will cause excessive drying and result in breakage and weakening of the curls. We recommend shampooing no more than once a week and only shampooing once during the washing process. Always with a gentle shampoo.
- Avoid use of oil on your curls. This will cause heavy buildup on the hair that can lead to limp curls and overwashing.
- Remember that curls have a natural frizz and tend to get bigger as the week progresses. Yes, you can control the frizz to a certain extent but not fully. Keep that in mind as you wear your curly extensions and try to embrace the boldness and freeness of your curls.
