Hair Care Guide

Washing

1. Gentle Shampoo:

• Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner when washing your extensions.
• Recommended Products: Design Essentials, Kera Care, Dove Hydrating, or Crème of Nature for softness and manageability.

2. Detangling:

• Always detangle your hair from the ends to the roots before washing to prevent breakage.

3. Washing Frequency:

• Wash your extensions no more than twice a week to avoid drying them out.
• Shampoo in a downward position to maintain the integrity of the hair.

Drying

1. Pat Dry:

• After washing, gently pat your extensions with a towel. Avoid rubbing, which can cause frizz and breakage.

2. Air Dry:

• Allow your extensions to air dry. If you prefer using a blow dryer, use a diffuser to enhance the natural waves and avoid touching it with your fingers.
