HANDTIED HAIR EXTENSION CARE

Welcome to the wonderful world of handtied hair extensions! I have all of the information you need to take amazing care of your hair all in one place. Use this for reference during your hair journey.

SHAMPOO + BRUSHING

  • Brush from the bottom up to detangle. Place hand over the weft when brushing to ensure your brush doesn’t snag a stitch

  • If you have multiple rows, clip each one out of the way and brush separately.

  • Ideal shampoo frequency: 1-2 times a week.

  • Detangle hair before shampooing

  • Use Sulfate free shampoo, cleanse and rinse thoroughly between wefts.

  • Avoid high protein products. They may cause buildup or shift the color of your extensions.

  • Squeeze the hair dry - do not rub.

STYLING

  • Do not air dry. Make sure the wefts are completely dry (even after workouts)

  • Use a lightweight heat protectant and hydrating oil prior to heat styling.

  • Tousle your hair until its about 85% dry, and then section the hair to blow dry with a round brush to smooth.

SLEEP

  • Do not go to sleep with wet hair.

  • Use a satin pillow case or sleep bonnet.

  • Sleep in a low, loose braid or pigtail braids secured with a soft hair tie or scrunchie.

TIPS FOR SUMMER + VACATIONS

  • Use mineral sunscreen. Avoid chemical sunscreen containing AVOBENZONE and OCTOCRYLENE. Chemical sunscreens can cause discoloration and pinkish tones in blondes.

  • Use products with UV and heat protection to keep your color from fading.

  • Keep your natural hair and extensions hydrated by using hair oils and leave in conditioners

  • Avoid chlorine and saltwater. But if you must, I would suggest wetting your hair and applying a leave in conditioner prior to getting it wet in a pool or ocean.
