PRE-INSTALL
We highly recommend co-washing your bundles before installing. Co-washing is a method of washing hair with conditioner only. When co-washing your hair, you should use a moisturizing conditioner and wash the hair with warm water. Rinse the hair with cold water. Allow your hair to air dry before installing (don’t roll or rub hair into a towel).
DAILY MAINTAINENCE
Keep your usage of styling products to a minimum because it weighs the hair down. We recommend daily use of Nourishing Coconut Oil Weightless Hydrating Oil Mist by OGX to prevent hair from drying out. When using heat, always apply a heat protectant.
NIGHTLY MAINTAINENCE
At night, do not sleep on wet hair. Always sleep with a satin scarf/bonnet or on a silk pillow.
GENERAL MAINTAINENCE
-Always use Non-Sulfate Shampoo and Conditioner products on your extensions.
-Deep condition your bundles twice a month, for at least one hour each time, with a good quality conditioner. The deeper the conditioning, the better.
-When washing your bundles, always use lukewarm water to retain moisture and nutrients in your bundles.
CURLY TEXTURES DAILY CARE
-Mix a good Leave In-Conditioner with water in a spray bottle.
-Spray onto bundles (make sure you comb through your extensions with a wide tooth comb beginning at the ends and working your way to your scalp).
-Shape the hair by scrunching it up and twirling pieces around a finger.
-Let hair air-dry then style your hair as desired.
-DO NOT comb after it is dry, otherwise it will tangle and mat.
-Part hair into sections and twist at night before applying silk scarf/bonnet.
-Avoid using brushes, narrow-toothed combs and touching your hair as much as possible after it has been set. This can separate your curls and lead to unwanted frizz.
**Please remember that curly hair is very high maintenance and is extremely different than caring for hair from your local Beauty Supply Store**
