Tangle-Free Haircare Guide

Tape ins/Pre-Bondded Hair Extensions/Sew in Hair Extensions/Micro Beaded Hair Extensions

1. Washing & care guide 💧

✨ The Golden 48-Hour Rule: please wait 48 hours after tape ins/u-tip hairextensions installation please before washing to allow the adhesive to fully cure. This is a critical first step to maintaining a long lasting fit!

🧴 Specialized hair care routine:

• Must use sulfate-free shampoo (sulfates break down the adhesive)
• Conditioner zoning: Apply only from mid-lengths to ends, avoiding the tape-ins at all costs
• Water temperature below 38°C (100°F) (lukewarm is ideal)

🚿 Professional washing technique:

• Wash with your head flipped upside down to prevent tangling
• Use fingertips to gently massage in downward strokes only
• Rinse with water flowing downward, just like salon pros do!

💨 Drying secrets:

• Air-dry whenever possible (keeps extensions naturally smooth)
• If blow-drying: Low heat + 6-inch distance + constant motion
• Use a microfiber towel to press out water—never rub!

2. Daily brushing

🛡️ Tool recommendations:

💆 Golden Brushing Rules: ▸ Brush 2–3 times daily (morning/night/after workouts) ▸ “Three-step” method: Hold roots → brush mid-lengths → then gently detangle ends ▸ For knots: Spray detangling mist and patiently work through section by section

• Wide-tooth comb: Essential for beginners
• Loop brush: Stylist’s favorite
• Boar bristle brush: Advanced care must-have

3. Protection zones 🧴

🔥 Heat styling warnings:

• Flat irons/curling wands must stay ≤150°C (300°F)
• Always apply heat protectant (creates a shielding barrier)
• Never let hot tools touch tape-ins directly

🏊 Swimming precautions:

• Pre-swim “Protection Trio”:
  • Coat hair with conditioner
  • Wear a silicone swim cap
  • Deep-clean immediately after

🧪 Banned ingredients

Clip in Hair Extensions/Wire Hair Extensions/Ponytail Hair Extensions

1. Comb with care

Be Gentle with Your Glam Your extensions deserve royal treatment! Always use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush (we love boar bristle brushes for that salon-quality smoothness). Here’s the golden rule: start from the ends and gradually work upward in small sections to prevent tugging.

Pro Tip: Spritz a leave-in conditioner or detangler spray before combing. Not only does this melt away knots effortlessly, but it also adds moisture – say goodbye to breakage and hello to buttery-soft strands!

2. Wash Gently

Spa Day for Your Extensions Think of washing your clip-ins like caring for fine silk! Use a sulfate-free, extension-friendly shampoo (look for nourishing ingredients like argan oil or keratin). Here’s how to do it right:

• Fill a basin with lukewarm water (hot water damages the fibers!)
• Gently swirl the hair in shampooy water (never rub or twist!)
• Apply conditioner only from mid-lengths to ends (avoiding the clips)
• Rinse until the water runs completely clear (residue is the enemy!)

Fun Fact: Washing every 7-10 wears maintains freshness without over-stripping natural oils. For bonus points, do a monthly deep conditioning treatment!

3. Dry & pamper

The Art of Perfect Maintenance After washing, resist the urge to wring out your extensions! Instead:

• Gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel (regular towels cause frizz!)
• Lay them flat on a clean towel or hang to dry (never sleep with damp extensions!)
• For quicker drying, use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment on cool setting
• While slightly damp, apply 2-3 drops of argan or marula oil to the ends for mirror-like shine

Celebrity Secret: Some stylists recommend storing slightly damp extensions in silk wraps to maintain perfect wave patterns!

4. Style smartly

Heat Without the Hurt Your clip-ins can rock gorgeous curls or sleek styles – if you play it safe:

• Always prep with a thermal protectant spray (apply section by section)
• Keep styling tools below 180°C (356°F) – the sweet spot for style without damage
• For curls, use a ceramic barrel iron and hold for just 5-7 seconds
• Want color? Opt for semi-permanent dyes or consult a pro – bleaching is a hard no!

Hot Trick: Before clipping in, style your extensions first! This minimizes heat exposure to your natural hair.

5. Bonus: storage secrets

• Always store completely dry in a satin pouch (fold neatly, don’t cram!)
• Place silica gel packets in your storage case to prevent humidity damage
• For wavy/curly extensions, use the “pineapple method” to preserve bounce
