Hair Care Tips
◦ Never cut any part of the top of the wefts. These wefts are double-stitched and delicate. If they are cut, then we cannot guarantee that they will not shed.
◦ Never sew through the top of the weft. Placing a needle through the weft will damage the wefts and may cause shedding.

Shampooing and Conditioning:
◦ We recommend sulfate free shampoo and protein free conditioners for longevity
◦ Any care product that contains protein should be used in moderation.
◦ Conditioning the hair is vital to its Routine Maintenance. However, it is possible to over condition the hair. Some signs that the hair is over-conditioned are brittleness and tangling. If this does occur, your best resource is to use a deep-cleansing or clarifying shampoo.
◦ If you must use hair spray or other styling products, try to avoid those containing alcohol. (Alcohol can be very drying to the hair.) Styling products create build up on the hair and it is recommended that a deep cleansing shampoo be used once or twice a month to remove build-up. Build-up can make the hair dry and can cause tangling. Use moisturizers to avoid this problem.
◦ If you must use heat, be sure you use a leave in conditioner first.
Helpful Tips:
◦ Although our hair extensions are real, it is not receiving nutrients from the scalp like your own hair. Heat is your hair extensions biggest enemy. The more you use on it, the shorter the life span of your hair. We cannot guarantee that the hair will remain silky if you use the blow dry, flat iron, or curling iron.
◦ At bedtime, we highly recommend that you control the hair --braid, wrap or ponytail your hair together to prevent tangling. This will save time that would be spent untangling the hair the next morning.
◦ When shampooing the hair, always shampoo it stroking in a downward motion. Use your fingers in a horizontal motion between wefts to clean your scalp. When rinsing, do the same to be sure that all the shampoo and conditioner residues are shampooed out.
If you perm, tint, bleach or cellophane the hair, you do it at your own risk. We do not guarantee any hair that has been chemically altered. If you must chemically alter it, then be sure to do a test strand first. This will allow you to test how the hair will withstand chemical application.
