It's essential to care for your tape in weft extensions properly at home. As experts in hair extensions, I'm here to guide you through the best at-home hair care tips, ensuring your hair always looks its best.

Brushing:

  • Use a tangle teaser or soft-bristle brush: To maintain your hair extensions, it's advisable to use a tangle teaser or a brush with soft bristles.
  • Brushing technique: Hold your hair just below the extension connection area with one hand, and gently brush with the other, using the tangle teaser or soft-bristle brush.

Washing:

  • Detangle first: Before washing, gently brush through your hair with a tangle teaser, starting at the ends and working your way up to remove any tangles.
  • Shower only: Always wash your hair in the shower, never in the bath, to allow the water to flow naturally.
  • Avoid tipping your head upside down, which means let the water flow naturally from the top of your head.
  • Gentle rinsing: Let the water run from roots to tips without scrubbing or rubbing your bonds or rings in a circular motion.
  1. wash your hair using warm water and an oil/sulfate free shampoo
  2. wash horizontally to get around the tape
  3. rinse shampoo
  4. apply to the conditioner to the ends avoiding the tape
  5. rinse conditioner
  • Extra rinsing: Rinse your hair thoroughly, for twice as long as you usually would, to ensure all product is removed.

Drying:

Keep your head upright: Avoid tipping your head upside down,this means that you cannot wrap your hair in a turban. Wrap it in a towel or air dry.
Strongly recommend air drying hair to 50%, then blow drying.
Blow-dry upright: Always blow-dry your hair with your head upright, avoiding the temptation to flip it upside down.
Only use the blow dryer on a low heat or cool setting.
Dry the roots quickly: Ensure your hair extensions are dried at the root within 30 minutes of washing to prevent moisture buildup.
Avoid prolonged wetness: Don't leave your hair wet for extended periods.
Start with your fingers: Begin drying your hair using your fingers, and wait until it's about 80% dry before switching to a brush.
Be gentle when wet: Avoid brushing your hair aggressively while it's wet, as this can cause excessive tugging and stress on both your extensions and natural hair.
Do not put any product on the connection
 

Sleeping / Exercise:

We recommend securing your hair in a low braid or ponytail for sleep or workouts. Avoid high ponytails or top knots, as they can strain the extensions.
