After Application

Wait 48 hours before washing or chemically processing your hair. 

Every Day

2-3 times per day gently brush hair from ends to roots using an extension-safe Boar Bristle or Wet Brush.

Washing & Styling
  • Always brush hair prior to washing to detangle.
  • Use a professional-grade shampoo & conditioner like Aveda.
  • Using a professional conditioning hair masque like Nutriplenish 1-2 times per week will moisturize extensions and help maintain longevity.
  • Avoid styling products that contain oil, alcohol or ethanol, especially near tape tabs. 
  • Heat should not exceed 350° F for human hair extensions and 250° F for fantasy & pastels. Avoid using heat near tape tabs.
  • When using heat tolls to style your hair, make sure to protect your extensions with a thermal styling product from the mid-shaft to the ends. 
Sleeping
  • Never go to sleep with wet or loose hair. Before bed, brush hair to detangle and gently tie into a loose ponytail or braid.
Swimming & Vacation Tips
  • We do not recommend swimming in chlorine pools as it can cause the tape-ins to slip.
  • Rinse hair immediately after swimming or exercising. 
  • Spray tans, sunscreens, hard/well water, and bronzing products may contain minerals that can cause discoloration. In a spray bottle, mix water with conditioner, or use a leave in conditioning spray like Nutriplenish Leave-In Conditioning Spray with UV protectant, and spray your hair thoroughly before swimming or spending time in the sun. This will provide a protective barrier on the hair.
  • If discoloration has occurred, please contact us as soon as possible, as it may be necessary to undergo a demineralizing treatment.
