Pre-Installation Care:
Before installation, it's important to soak your hair for 30 mintues in Apple Cider Vinger. Next Shampoo hair with moisturizing shampoo while keeping the rubber band intact. This allows for a thorough assessment of the bundles and control as you give the hair a deep clean.
Installation for Weft Bundles Guidelines:
During installation, utilize the over and out method to minimize shedding. We recommend doubling the track by folding the weft in half to ensure the weft is positioned inward, away from the scalp. Avoid piercing the wefts as it may lead to excessive shedding. Additionally, consider sealing the wefts using a high-quality sealant. Trim the wefts only when absolutely necessary to prevent excess shedding.
Maintenance Routine:
To maintain the health of your curly hair extensions, we suggest a conditioner-only wash (CoWash) only when needed. This helps retain moisture and removes any buildup that could cause matting or tangling. For deep conditioning, opt for a thick conditioner with smoothing properties to minimize frizz.
Dry Shampoo
When you want to refresh the hair without shampooing. We recommend using Amika Perk-Up Plus Dry Shampoo to refresh and nourishes hair stands. This Dry shampoo absorbs oil, reduces order, and gives hair a freshly washed look without a trace of white residue, all while restoring "Oomph" back into the hair.
For an effective CoWash routine, follow these steps:
- Divide your hair into 7-10 sections before showering.
- Detangle each section using fingers or brush, starting from the ends to the root.
-Plait/Braid each section
- Fully saturate each section one at a time with water.
- Begin from the bottom of your install, tying up the remaining hair on top of your head.
- Generously lather each section with conditioner and brush through with a Denman brush from ends to roots. Complete two passes to ensure thorough detangling.
- Repeat for the entire install, then twist the hair into a bun or braid and let the conditioner sit for 15-20 minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly with twist or braid still in. Pat dry with a micro-fiber towel or t-shirt to avoid frizz.
-Apply a generous amount of leave in conditioner and /or Curly Referesher Spray.
- Apply a Quater-size amount of smoothing oil or glossing polish to minimize frizz throughout the day.
Daily and Bed-time Care:
Brush or finger detangle through the hair for styling, and apply an alcohol-free glossing polish or serum as needed for shine and frizz control. Use a satin scarf and/or bonnet at bedtime to reduce frizz, and consider plaiting hair in sections for manageable hair in the morning. In the morning, remove overnight protection add hair polish spray and finger detangel if needed, then style as desire.
