Hand-tied hair Extension care guide for beach wave or smoothed out texture

  • • Brush hair before washing with a Wet Brush.

    • Make sure you are always conscious of the weft being careful not to pull it.

    • Hold the hair tight as you go up, then at the top hold the weft to your head or between your fingers.

    • Separate natural hair from the wefts/rows.

    • Remove any tangling or loose hair that your natural hair has shed by brushing. This is very important. If you do not do this regularly, you could ruin the weft hair and create damage to your natural hair as loose unwanted hair can tangle and cause unwanted matting.

    • When washing your hair, ensure you rinse thoroughly. Get it very wet before applying shampoo so it can lather well and clean properly.

    • Make sure when you are shampooing to shampoo the extensions as well as your scalp. Use your fingers to slide between the rows to get your scalp clean.

    • Rinse out thoroughly and apply conditioner.

    • If your natural hair is super fine, start with your ends first and work your way up. But you must condition the extensions every time they are washed.

    • Our favorite product lines for extension care are Kevin Murphy and Maria Nila.

    • We recommend washing 1-2 times a week. We also recommend deep conditioning the extensions at least every 1-2 weeks.

    • Make sure to brush out any tangles after washing. Section it and carefully brush as explained above.

    • Always make sure you are holding the extensions hair tight as you remove tangles. The closer you get to the top make sure you hold the weft so that you do not accidentally pull it out.

  • • We love to use a Finishing Serum in the extensions. They works great for blowouts and have thermal protection built in.

    • As you dry and apply heat, it starts to repair your hair.

    • Once dry, you can add more before you curl or flat iron your hair.

    • Curling irons and flat irons should be no hotter than 320 degrees. Just another added layer of protection against the heat.

    • DO NOT have sunscreen near hair as it can turn it shades of pink and orange.

    • Always sleep with hair in a loose braid or top bun to prevent matting.
