□ always brush before washing to remove tangles

□ clip your natural hair up from your extensions before wetting your hair and wash/rinse separately; if you have more than one row it is recommended to shampoo and rinse each row separately

□ wash in a gentle motion above & below rows; do not scrub vigorously as this can cause damage to your weft tops

□ rinse very thoroughly to prevent build up along the weft line

□ focus on shampooing the scalp & conditioning the mids/ends; avoid shampooing the mids/ends of the extensions often

□ when conditioning, split into 2 pigtails, apply to mids/ends, then gently comb through with WetBrush to thoroughly saturate through the extension hair & your natural hair

□ deep condition 1-2x monthly

□ towel dry by squeezing from the ends up; avoid rubbing the towel over the root area or wrapping your hair tightly in a towel

□ brush in the morning & evening

□ WetBrush is the recommended brush to use

□ hold the top seam of your weft firmly against your head before brushing to avoid pulling & tension

□ do not brush directly over the top seam of your wefts as this can cause permanent damage to the wefts

□ avoid snagging & pulling your front corners while brushing; hold the front corners very firmly when brushing, especially on wet hair

□ if you have more than one row, be sure to separate your rows and brush in between to avoid matting

□ a boar (soft) bristle brush can be used for smoothing your hair over your extensions when pulling it up

□ blow dry your roots & weft tops thoroughly within 30 minutes of washing; prolonged moisture in the top seam of your extensions can permanently damage your wefts

□ clip up each section to expose your row and blow dry the top seam of your extensions for 3-5 minutes until completely dry

□ attaching the concentrator nozzle to your blow dryer will help to dry the roots quickly and thoroughly

□ you can let the rest of your hair air dry as long as the roots are 100% dry

□ hair should be approximately 75% dry before using a round brush or blow dry brush to avoid excessive tension or heat damage

□ always use leave in conditioner on damp hair after washing

□ use a moisturizing serum in the mids/ends of your hair daily

□ dry shampoo can be used to extend time between washes or over weft tops before exercising to help absorb sweat

□ ALWAYS use heat protectant before blow drying, curling, & flat ironing; excess heat will cause breakage & color fading to your extensions

□ use a max heat of 360°

□ avoid using repairing, strengthening, keratin, or bonding products on extensions; extensions need moisture & hydration only

□ slightly loosen your front corners if you feel any pulling or tension while wearing a ponytail or bun

□ avoid clipping through your weft tops with claw clips or bobby pins; try to clip above, below, or between your rows to avoid damage to your wefts

□ apply dry shampoo to roots & serum to ends before bed and brush through to remove tangles from the day

□ sleep on a silk/satin pillowcase or wrap your hair in a silk scarf or bonnet to prevent matting, frizz & preserve your style

□ pull your hair into a low pony/bun with a scrunchie or loosely braid before bed

□ NEVER SLEEP WITH WET HAIR!

□ sunscreens containing avobenzone; these can permanently stain extensions pink/orange; use mineral sunscreens ONLY

□ ocean water & pool water; if you are planning to get your hair wet, saturate your hair with fresh water & leave in conditioner first then tightly braid or wrap in a tight bun; wash and deep condition ASAP after

□ purple shampoo; if extensions are yellowing use a very small amount of purple shampoo mixed in with your normal shampoo or schedule a toner appointment

□ any and all non professional products

□ hard water; mineral build up can discolor & dry out extension hair; purchase a shower head filter if you have hard water

□ prolonged sun exposure; sun can cause color fading; the recommended leave in products listed above contain UV protection, but it's still good to limit time in direct sunlight

□ old or cheap styling tools; these can stain and burn your hair

□ self tanner, tanning beds, & smoking; all can stain blonde hair as well
