Hair Care Tips

Wefted Products

• -   Detangle your weave by gently combing it with your fingers or a wide tooth comb before washing.

• -  Using a pH balanced shampoo follow the same process you would when washing your own hair.

•  -  Do not rub or scrub your hair when shampooing.

•  -  Rinse off completely & thoroughly once you have finished with shampooing.

• - Apply a moisturizing conditioner and let the hair soak in the product for 3 to 5 minutes.

• - Rinse off completely & thoroughly once you have finished with the moisturizer.

• - Blot your hair with a towel and never rub or scrub your hair when drying.

• - Comb hair carefully with a wide tooth comb from the tips working your way up to your roots.

• - Allow your weave to air-dry if time permits. Let your hair air-dry at home, take 2-3 hours to wash and naturally dry your hair - Do not use heat as this will swell and dry your strands.

• - Apply a small amount of Argan, Almond or Coconut oil 2-3 times a week or when required. Argan oil is a great finishing oil for styling and frizz, however its a dry oil and does not moisturize the hair as well as Almond or Coconut.

• - For long lasting hair extensions, moisturize your hair as you do your skin, it makes perfect sense.

Why do some hair extensions become dry after the first few washes?

The simple answer is use of chemicals, heat and lack of moisture. We eat food to feed our bodies with nutrients which eventually makes their way through our system to feed our skin and hair. We cannot feed hair extensions in the same way so we need to use alternative methods.

Use organic and no sulfate shampoos to regularly feed, moisturize and treat your hair extensions. Remember, colored hair goes through a chemical process, especially when lightened to blondes and special colors, this is unavoidable to achieve the colors we all desire.

A little moisturizing oil (we prefer Almond) each week is key.

Avoid shampoo and conditioning products which use Sulfates, Isopropyl Alcohol, Formaldehyde and Propylene Glycol, these are strong chemicals which will strip the hair of natural oils and leave them dry and sometimes damaged if used for a prolonged period of time. Most sulfate shampoos and conditioners contain silicone, this is what gives your hair or real human hair extensions that shiny glossy look once washed.
