- Wash your extension's once per week with a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner. For best results deep condition for 10 minutes.
- Do not use heavy oils on your extensions that causes your hair to weigh down and be stiff. If you have to use a dime size drop of very light oils: argan, sweet almond, jojoba. Rub hands together and apply to hair.
- Apply minimum heat to hair if need be. Always use a thermal protect-ant to ensure your are not heat damaging your hair.
- Always use a de-tangling brush(wig), wide tooth comb to de-tangle extensions.
- Be sure to comb from ends up to root for proper de-tangling. Doing otherwise will cause excess shedding and balding of laces.
- To get the longest wear out of you lace when bleaching knots be sure to only bleach where you are wearing your part.
- Remember bleaching cause breakage. If you bleach your whole lace, over time it will shed and bald.
- My secret to tighter longer lasting curls. Curl your hair with flat iron or curling iron and then flexi rod afterwards! Thank me later!!
-
Always, Always, Always tie your hair up at night. Silk edge wraps for those edges and laces, followed by a satin bonnet to protect your extensions.
- Braid your extensions at night to add texture or a little wave so that you don't always have to curl or flat iron your hair. It'll help your hair to last longer.
- Mix Got2B gel with wrapping foam to lay your edges for your lace. It should be a creamy consistency.
- Use the comb and flat iron method and small sections to ensure you are getting bone straight hair without passing heat so many times. You should only pass heat on your extensions 1 or twice at the most.
I hope you ladies picked up every jewel I dropped!! Happy shopping :)
