How do I care for my hair extensions?
To properly care for your extensions you should shampoo and condition regularly, with a high-quality sulfate-free shampoo. Use a sulfate-free creamy conditioner to add moisture. Use a heat protectant when applying heat styling tools, and sleep on a satin pillowcase (or in a satin cap) to reduce breakage, tangles and thinning.
How to care for my Body Wave textured hair extensions?
The Body Wave texture is low-maintenance. To keep your bundles light and fluffy, use only a small amount of product. To enhance the Body Wave pattern, use a spray bottle to mist hair with water before adding products. Comb hair with a wide-tooth comb while damp and scrunch the hair with your hands. Allow hair to dry to set the wave pattern.
To set waves or curls, you can use a curling iron or Flexi Rods. To straighten hair, use very little to no product. Body Wave hair straightens very easily with a flat iron.
How do I care for my Deep Wave textured hair extensions?
The Deep Wave texture requires slightly more maintenance than the Body Wave textured hair. On a daily basis, wet your hair and gently comb out your Deep Wave hair with a wide-tooth comb. To apply product, rub product in palms of hands first, then distribute product evenly throughout hair.
To enhance the Deep Wave pattern and avoid dryness or frizziness, use a spray bottle to mist hair with water before adding a creamy moisturizer. Comb hair with a wide-tooth comb while damp and scrunch the hair with your hands. Allow hair to dry to set the wave pattern.
How do I care for my Curly and Kinky Curly textured hair extensions?
The Curly and Kinky Curly textures require more care and maintenance. On a daily basis, wet your hair and gently comb out your extensions with a wide-tooth comb. Use a spray bottle to mist your hair with water followed by a creamy moisturizer to help avoid dryness or frizziness. You can use more products on your Curly and Kinky Curly textured hair than other textures without having the appearance the hair is weighed down.
Comb hair into desired style using a wide-tooth comb and let wave pattern dry to set. After wave pattern has set, you can finger-comb your hair gently to add volume or brush to add afro-like volume.
How do I straighten my Deep Wave and Curly-textured hair extensions?
Deep Wave- and Curly- textured hair straightens with a flat iron into a coarser texture than the Body Wave.
Start by shampooing and conditioning the hair with a high-quality sulfate-free shampoo to make sure hair is not weighed down by product that can prevent sleek straightening. Make sure your natural hair underneath your extensions is completely dry.
Next, part hair into four sections to ensure all hair gets the heat it needs to straighten. Lightly mist your palm with a light heat-protectant product, and then apply to the hair in each section. We recommend using a blow drier with a comb attachment followed by a padded brush, to loosen the wave pattern before applying heat from a flat iron.
Take a small sub-section of hair and use a ceramic flat iron to grip hair firmly. Start at the root, and move slowly until you reach the end. If required, do a second pass until hair is straight and sleek. Repeat until all your hair is straightened. Then style as desired!
