Hair Extension Care/ Maintenance FAQs
Hair Weave Care and Maintenance FAQ
One of the Care and Maintenance FAQ we receive is about products. Moisture is the most important thing. Please do not use products for oily hair or strippers that take out chlorine or product build up. These leave the hair dry.
Use styling products that are zero or low in alcohol. Products for dry hair are the best. Leave-in conditioners in liquid forms and serums are wonderful for the ends. Oily products and pomades are not recommended as they weigh the hair down and make it too lumpy. Little bit of scalp oil can be used once in a while on your scalp if you have dry scalp but not on the extension.
You may go swimming. It is best to wash hair right after swimming. Avoid getting hair in salt water as the salt can take all the moisture out of the hair and it will tangle. Braid your hair very tightly if you are going in salt water. Wash and condition with moisturizing shampoo and conditioner immediately after swimming.
If you’re installing with sew in method, we strongly advice not to double the track most especially at the nape area. This is to enable more airflow which helps to avoid tangling! Also, while combing/brushing your hair, starting from the ends keeps the pressure off the weft area which helps with longevity of the extensions.
NEVER sleep with wet hair, make sure your hair is completely dry before you go to sleep. Please visit “Hair care Guide for more tips!
