Pre-Installation:

• Wash your hair thoroughly before installation.
  

Deep Conditioning:

• We recommend deep conditioning your extensions approximately every two weeks.
  
• Because hair is cut from its donor, it lacks natural nutrients; deep conditioning reintroduces these nutrients to restore luster and prolong longevity.
  
• Use a high-quality hair mask for best results.
  

Brushing and Detangling:

• Always brush your hair completely before washing, regardless of texture. This ensures easier management when wet.
  
• Use sulfate-free and paraben-free shampoo and conditioner.
  
• When detangling wet hair, apply conditioner first and work from the tips upward to the roots.
  
• A wide-tooth comb or wet brush is ideal; wet brushes are especially recommended for very wavy or curly textures.
  
• For thick Cambodian hair, rich cream conditioners are most effective.
  

Post-Wash Care:

• Gently pat hair dry to remove excess water, then brush through without product.
  
• Apply a small amount of leave-in conditioner to infuse moisture. Cream leave-ins are especially effective for Cambodian hair, though using no product is also acceptable.
  
• Allow hair to air dry naturally or use a hooded dryer. Avoid blow-drying, as heat can cause strand breakage.
  

Daily Maintenance:

• Apply a very small amount of hair oil daily. Excess product can make extensions stiff and lifeless.
  
• For curly or very wavy textures, a generous daily application of leave-in conditioner can help control frizz and define curls or waves. Cream-based leave-ins work best.
  
• When using heat styling tools, always apply a heat protectant. Oils such as argan oil can double as a protective barrier.
  
• Use a wide-tooth comb or soft-tipped paddle brush for gentle detangling as needed.
  
• Sleep with a silk bonnet to retain moisture and prevent breakage.
  

Coloring Extensions:

• Consult a professional colorist before coloring raw hair extensions to ensure optimal results and avoid over-processing.
  

Closures & Frontals:

• Have a professional bleach the knots.
  
• Avoid frequent brushing, as this may loosen knots and increase shedding.
  
• Follow the general wefted hair care instructions above to maintain the overall health and longevity of your lace products.
