Hair Care Tips

 

Co-Washing/Shampooing:  Upon receipt of your hair we recommend that you wash and condition the hair (BEFORE INSTALLING) thoroughly in a downward motion. Hair should not be scrubbed against itself. Wash hair while in bundle (do not remove rubber band). Squeeze water from hair in a downward motion as well. After co-washing, use a WIDE TOOTH COMB to comb through the hair. DO NOT USE A WIG BRUSH. Comb out tips first then work your way up to the top.  When shampooing hair, we recommend washing in the shower without wetting roots of the hair while installed. Hair should only be shampooed at least every 2 weeks. The Indian Wavy and Deep Curly hair must be washed every 3-4 days as these textures require more daily maintenance.  

Closures & Frontals:  Both are EXTREMELY DELICATE so they must be handled with care. No combing, scratching or digging at the lace as this causes balding and shedding. DO NOT APPLY STYLING TOOLS DIRECTLY TO THE LACE OR IT WILL BURN!! Keep the temperature at the lowest setting as the steam will also burn the lace even if the tool does not actually touch the lace.

Shedding:  Like natural hair shedding is normal & minimal. The initial shedding can be a little more than minimal but will decrease with time. Please seal wefts with clear nail enamel or fabric adhesive on both sides after co-washing & washing to assist with shedding. 

Drying Hair & Heat:  For better result and to sustain the lifetime of the hair, we recommend letting the hair air dry. If the hair is still in the bundle, you can place it under a hair dryer on medium cool heat. If you want to control frizz, spray with frizz control products and use a small amount of oil. After which, you can braid the hair to give it a neater appearance when dry.  Too much heat on virgin hair will cause breakage. In order to maintain curl or wave without heat, use flexi rods, rollers, or braid hair at bedtime.

Ceramics: Make sure all hot irons used on your virgin hair are ceramic. Make sure to use leave in conditioner and heat protector prior to hot ironing your hair.

Products: Silicon Mix Shampoo and Conditioner combo is the best treatment for the hair. It can be purchased at your local beauty supply store. Make sure all products used on the hair DO NOT CONTAIN ALCOHOL. Alcohol removes the natural moisture. Do not use products that will weigh down the hair. Use oil free products or light oil products.
