Hair Care Guide

💎 General Hair Care Instructions

1. Detangling

  • Detangle hair gently using a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush.

  • Start from the ends and work your way upward.

  • Always detangle hair before washing.

💎 Washing Your Hair Extensions

  • Use sulfate-free, alcohol-free shampoo and conditioner.

  • Wash hair in a downward motion to avoid tangling.

  • Do not rub or twist the extensions.

  • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

Recommended Frequency:
Every 1–2 weeks depending on use.

💎 Conditioning & Moisture

  • Deep condition the hair every 2–3 weeks.

  • Avoid heavy oils directly on the wefts or lace.

  • Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner or hydrating serum on mid–ends only.

💎 Drying

  • Gently squeeze out excess water — do not wring.

  • Pat dry with a microfiber towel.

  • Allow hair to air dry when possible.

  • If blow drying, use medium heat and apply a heat protectant.

💎 Heat Styling

  • Always use a professional heat protectant.

  • Keep heat below 400°F (especially on curly or loose wave textures).

  • Excessive heat may shorten the lifespan of hair.

💎 Sleeping

  • Wrap hair with a satin bonnet, satin scarf, or use a silk pillowcase.

  • For longer lengths or curly textures, loosely braid or twist hair before bed.

    • Saturate hair with conditioner beforehand

💎 Lace Care (HD & Transparent Lace)

  • Handle lace gently — HD lace is delicate.

  • Avoid excessive pulling or scratching.

  • Melt lace with low alcohol sprays; avoid harsh adhesives.

  • Clean lace with gentle motions to prevent tearing.

💎 Weft Care (Bundles)

  • Avoid cutting wefts to minimize shedding.

  • If wefts must be cut, seal them with a weft sealer.

  • Store wigs on a wig stand or mannequin head.

  • Keep wigs away from heat sources.

  • Wash gently and avoid manipulating the lace.
