• do not lighten or bleach extensions—this will compromise the hair
• toning or depositing color is okay when done properly
• because our hair is textile dyed, it may absorb color differently
• always perform a test strand before applying color all over
• purple shampoo can be very drying and easily over-tone
• if needed, dilute with regular shampoo or opt for a quick purple bath
Washing & Brushing
• thoroughly cleanse your scalp and between each row
• a shower filter or soft water helps extend color and overall lifespan
• use a leave-in conditioner on ends after washing
• brush from ends up with an extension-safe brush
• avoid brushing directly at the weft
• section by rows to prevent tangling and matting
Drying & Styling
• fully dry the base of your wefts—never sleep with wet hair
• always use heat protectant when styling
• keep tools under 350° to prevent damage and discoloration
• excessive heat can strip toner and cause brassiness
Swimming & Sunscreen
• apply conditioner or a mask before swimming to protect from dryness and tangling
• wash immediately after swimming
• chlorine and salt water can cause discoloration and damage
• use mineral sunscreen—chemical sunscreens can discolor extensions
Move-Ups & Maintenance
• schedule move-ups every 6–8 weeks
• stay consistent with maintenance to prevent matting in your grow-out
Other
• sleep in a loose braid or ponytail on a silk pillowcase
• saunas, steam rooms, and heated workout classes can dry out extensions—apply heat protectant beforehand to help maintain hydration
• UV exposure can discolor and dry out the extensions—use an UV protection cap when bed tanning
Our Curly hair is created through a perming process, so it requires more intentional care to maintain its curl pattern, hydration, and overall longevity.
Products
• use salon-grade, extension-safe products
• avoid silicone, sulfates, protein, bond builders, and acidic/repair products—they can dry out or damage extensions
• avoid heavy oils, including argan, coconut, and soybean oil— they can coat and weigh down your extensions
• moisture-focused products are essential to maintain curl integrity
• use clear oils only—tinted oils can discolor lighter shades
