Brushing:

• Use a boar bristle or wet brush daily to remove any knots or tangles.
• Gather the hair into a ponytail and securely hold close to the scalp. Begin brushing from the ends, carefully working your way up toward the scalp.
• Brushing your hair before it gets wet will keep the hair from tangling while washing.

Washing:

• Brush extensions thoroughly before washing to remove any tangles.
• Now that your hair is thicker, you may decide to divide the hair into two sections on either side of the head to wash or multiple ponytails and wash section-by-section.

SHAMPOO:

• Use a sulfate-free and paraben-free shampoo
• Begin at the scalp and massage shampoo into hair using a “Z” formation. Do not use a circular motion or flip head upside down as this causes tangles.
• Part hair and rinse all the way to the scalp. If you used the ponytail method to section hair, rinse one at a time. Follow up with a final rinse.

CONDITION:

• Use a sulfate-free and paraben-free conditioner.
• Apply conditioner from mid-shaft down to the tips of your hair and leave on for 2-3 minutes. NOTE: Adding conditioner at or near the point of attachment may lead to sliding out.

Drying:

• Towel or air-dry your hair as much as possible before using a blow dryer.
• The use of leave-in conditioners, heat protectants, as well as treatment oils from mid-shaft to ends is recommended to protect your extensions.
