STEP 1 — Detangle

Before washing, gently detangle the hair starting from the ends and working your way up toward the weft.

Use a wide-tooth comb or extension-friendly brush. Never aggressively pull through knots.

STEP 2 — Wet the Hair

Use lukewarm water and gently saturate the hair from top to bottom.

Avoid aggressively rubbing or bunching the hair together.

STEP 3 — Shampoo

Apply a moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoo.

Gently massage the shampoo through the hair in a downward motion. Focus on cleansing the hair rather than rough scrubbing.

Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.

STEP 4 — Condition

Apply a quality moisturizing conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends.

Allow the conditioner to sit for several minutes, then rinse thoroughly.

For extra-dry hair, use a moisturizing hair mask occasionally.

STEP 5 — Remove Excess Water

Gently squeeze excess water from the hair.

Do not twist, wring, or aggressively rub the extensions.

Use a clean microfiber towel or soft T-shirt to gently blot the hair.

STEP 6 — Detangle Again

While the hair is damp, gently detangle starting at the ends and working upward.

Be patient and avoid pulling on the weft.

STEP 7 — Air Dry

For the healthiest results, lay the bundles flat or hang them in a well-ventilated area and allow them to air dry completely.

Keep the hair away from excessive heat while drying.

STEP 8 — Blow Drying

If you need to blow-dry your extensions, use:

  • Low to medium heat
  • A heat protectant
  • A downward airflow
  • Gentle brushing/combing

Make sure the hair is not soaking wet before using heat.

STEP 9 — Style

Once completely dry, your extensions are ready to style!

Always use a heat protectant before curling, straightening, or using other hot tools.

SUGA TIP!!

Treat your extensions like your own hair: gentle brushing, proper washing, moisture, and limited heat = longer-lasting hair.
