Extension Care

CLEANSING

DRYING
Gently squeeze the water out of your hair, do not rub. Spray in your favorite leave-in/heat protectant product.  Follow with brushing through with a wet brush/wide tooth comb. Before drying make sure each row is completely brushed out. Before using a brush to blow dry, use your fingers only to blow dry 80% of your hair, then follow with a round brush. 

SLEEPING
We recommend to braid your hair with a silk scrunchie. It’s also best to sleep on a silk pillowcase (this is great for your face AND hair). Cotton pillowcases can cause frizz and split ends over time. Silk pillowcases are much more gentle on your hair. We highly recommend the “Slip” or “Kitsch” brand. Do not sleep on your extensions while they’re wet, it will damage your natural hair and can cause matting and mold.

SWIMMING

There are minerals found in some water that can react poorly with your extensions  and can cause discoloration or dry them out. To avoid this, we advise to do the following:
* Wet your hair before getting into the pool/ocean/lake, etc. After wetting, apply a leave in conditioner or hair mask.
* Comb your conditioner or mask through your hair, then braid it or put it in a tight bun or pony.
* Brush & wash your hair immediately after swimming.
* Beware of sunscreen, most brands contain ingredients (Avobenzone) that will turn your extensions a brassy orange or peach color. Goldie Locks just released their sunscreen that is safe to use with extensions, its our favorite!
