Keeping your extensions looking soft, seamless, and fabulous doesn’t have to be a chore! With a few easy habits, you’ll keep them fresh and ready for anything. Think of this as your go-to cheat sheet for gorgeous hair every day. 💖
👑 Don't Wash Your Hair – Yourself. Come in and let me wash and style it! Haha, although this is a joke, I do offer wash and styles at no additional cost if it fits within the time slot. We can also use this as a check in, See how you're maintaining them at home.
🚿 Half Wash Days – When you need a quick refresh but don’t have time for a full wash, just shampoo the top of your hair and around your face. Your secret weapon? Dry shampoo at the roots!
🖌️ Use a Detangling Brush – Before getting your hair wet at all, brush any tangles. (Wet hair breaks easier—same with your natural hair!)
🌿 Use Sulfate-Free Everything – Gentle, extension-safe products keep your hair hydrated & healthy without stripping it. (I’ve got recommendations for you—just ask!)
💦 Less is More – Overwashing can dry out extensions, so 2-3 washes per week is plenty!
🛁 Keep Conditioner Away from the Bonds – Gently cleanse without over-saturating the connection points to maintain longevity.
💆♀️ Be Gentle – Always use a loop brush or wide-tooth comb to keep tangles at bay. Start from the ends and work your way up—no yanking!
⏳ Twice a Day Keeps the Knots Away – A quick brush in the morning & before bed = silky, smooth hair 24/7.
🌀 Hold Your Hair at the Root While Brushing – This prevents unnecessary tension and helps keep your extensions secure.
🌡 Heat Protectant = Non-Negotiable – Your extensions love a little TLC before heat styling. A light mist before curling or straightening keeps them looking fresh.
⏳ Low & Slow Wins the Race – Stick to medium heat for styling—high temps shorten your extension’s lifespan!
🖋 Avoid Heat Directly on the Bonds or Wefts – Direct heat can weaken adhesives and cause slippage over time.
A Brazilian Blowout (formaldehyde-free formula) is a great way to keep your extensions silky, smooth, and frizz-free without weighing them down! Here’s why it works beautifully with extensions:
✔ Seals the Cuticle – Helps blend your natural hair with extensions for a seamless look.
✔ Reduces Frizz & Humidity Effects – Keeps both your natural hair and extensions smooth, even in moisture-heavy climates.
✔ Enhances Longevity – Helps extensions last longer by reducing tangling and dryness.
✔ No Harsh Chemicals – Safe for extensions and maintains their softness and movement.

🌙 Silk Pillowcases = No More Frizz – Sleeping on silk keeps your hair smooth & prevents breakage.
🌿 Loose Braids Are Your Best Friend – A simple loose braid or pony at bedtime stops tangles before they start!
🛏 Never Sleep with Wet Hair – Always dry your extensions before bed to prevent matting and damage.
👑 Beaded Row Extensions (Weft Options)
✔ Keep oil-based products away from the beads to prevent slipping.
✔ Brush before showering to keep wefts from tangling.
✔ Be mindful when styling near the attachment points—tugging = not cute!
✔ Move-Up Appointments Every 6-8 Weeks – Keep them fresh and secure.
💎 K-Tip Extensions
✔ No oils near the bonds—they break down keratin.
✔ Avoid direct heat on the bonds (that means blow-drying on medium and keeping flat irons away from the roots).
✔ Wash gently & pat dry—no aggressive towel-drying!
✔ Maintenance Every 3-5 Months – Keep your strands looking seamless.
Pre-book your move-up or refresh appointments so your extensions always look flawless. I’ll help you keep them looking seamless & fabulous!
