1. Keep the hair clean. You can wash your hair every other day, If not you should
wash it at least once or twice a week with warm water. Wash your hair immediately
after swimming, spa, exercise, etc. When dirt and sweat accumulate, hair tangles.
Too much leave-in conditioners and other hair care products will create a build up
on the hair and will cause it to tangle faster. If the hair feels dry or heavy with
build up, wash it with good, salon quality, shampoo & conditioner.
2. When swimming, always wear a cap or keep your hair out of the water to prevent
prolong exposure to chlorine or salt water (salt water can be very dangerous for
extensions, you are taking a chance) which causes the hair to tangle. I recommend
pre-wetting your hair with water then applying some conditioner before swimming.
This will keep it from absorbing too much chlorine or salt water. Always wash the
hair right away with shampoo and conditioner after swimming in either type of water.
When going to the spa, the hair should be brushed out completely and should be wrapped
in a cold wet towel. All but the best extension hair can completely mat up the instant
it hits salt water. It can also happen with sweat too, so be careful.
4. Make sure you brush the 1-2 times hair daily and apply some leave-in conditioners
so that the hair is soft and manageable. Try not to put conditioner on the bonds
if you are using any strand-by-strand extensions. With any strand-by-strand extensions
it is very important to keep the bonds tangle free and separated. Run your fingers
between them once or twice a day and brush your roots 2-3 times daily with a natural
bristle brush, for very fine hair, or a loop brush, for thicker hair.
A good leave-in hair treatment can keep the hair from drying. But remember not to
put too much otherwise there will be a build up and make the hair feel too heavy.
If the hair feels too dry or heavy with too much hair care products, you should wash
the hair.
3. Make couple of big braids or pony tails when going to sleep, swim, or exercise
(please untangle the hair before making the braids). NEVER SLEEP ON WET HAIR it can
mat up! Make sure the hair is completely dry before going to bed.
