Hair Care-

 

let's be honest - even though it wasn't grown naturally, maintenance is still a must! much like our own hair; care -&- attention is needed.. also - you paid for it! combing or brushing daily is pertinent.

washing your extensions will do wonders in retaining the quality -&- extending the longevity. always remember to detangle your extensions prior to wetting // starting from the end detangling upwards to the root - using a wide tooth comb or wig brush. it's recommended to use a cleansing/clarifying shampoo weekly - they're the best at ridding the hair of daily buildup, bacteria, and other unwanted debris. some lean toward co-washing, which is OK; esp. when done bi-weekly. p.s: it is recommended to use a clarifying shampoo at least once a month.

the perfect follow-up to a pristine cleanse.. a deep condition. def. a requirement w/ curly extensions. conditioning will help detangling to prepare for your style -&- adds moisture that may have been lost/stripped if a clarifying shampoo was used. clean moisturized hair is key to preventing frizzing, tangling; overall dissatisfaction. when this is done no add. oils or serums are needed - AS INTENDED!

depending on the nature of your style -&- if it's already installed, the holy grail is air-drying. if extensions are already applied - blowdrying or sitting under the dryer is highly recommended to ensure the foundation is completely dry. this will prevent bacteria festering, creating the mildew-like smell we'd all wish to avoid.

even though the extensions are a way for us to escape our everyday need to style/protect our hair - moderation of heat/styling is essential. blowdrying and pressing all in one setting can cause major damage - not to mention if there's color involved, esp. if it isn't performed by a professional in the proper channels. once styled - only use heat as needed, definitely avoid over extending any natural leave out as well.

sleeping in -&- on silk, not one but BOTH! utilizing both a silk or satin scarf -&- pillowcase combo will not only protect your hairstyle but it reduces friction (frizzing, tangling included) -&- retains moisture. when opting for a straight look - wrap your hair at night using bobby pins or a net prior to your slumber combo. curly, try the pineapple method. also, be on the look out for Above Par personals!

not much is req. if washed -&- maintained properly. using clarifying cleansing shampoos combined with enriching soothing conditioner will enhance the natural beauty on our raw hair extensions. we do not believe in using oils or serums as they tend to weigh the hair down, -&- become greasy w/ buildup. quality products for quality extensions!
