• come in for your move-ups at the recommended times to avoid matting and damage to both your natural hair and the extensions (6-8 week for fine-medium hair, 8-10 weeks for medium to thick hair)

• use a sunscreen that does not contain avobenzone or octocrylene to avoid discoloration of the extensions

• apply oil/serum from mid lengths to ends, and braid your hair before bed

• recommended products: hydrating shampoo or conditioner, hair mask, leave-in and or oil

• brush your hair regularly through out the day to prevent matting and tangling

• always be sure to dry the tops of the wefts to prevent the wefts from swelling or unraveling

• avoid getting hair wet when swimming if possible; if you are going to go under water wet the hair before hand, apply a leave-in or mask to the hair, and braid before going under

Washing

• using good quality, professional grade products will help keep the extension hair happy and healthy (sulfate and paraben free)

• separate rows when washing to thoroughly cleanse between them

• use a detoxifying shampoo before your regular shampoo and conditioner for a deep clean

• when needing a refresh between washes, separate your natural hair above the top row, then wash and dry that hair for a fresh look

Drying & Styling

• use a blow-dry spray before you start drying to speed up dry time and protect the hair

• power dry the hair 80-90% before smoothing with a brush

• use gentle tension when round brushing to avoid any damage

• use a hot tool to finish off the look and create a long lasting style
