HOME CARE GUIDE
INVISIBLE BEAD EXTENSION S
YOUR WEFT HAIR EXTENSION CARE GUIDE
Always use professional products.
You must always use products that are sulfate/paraben free.
Use a leave-in conditioner and treat with a mask once a week if necessary. If applying heat, use a heat protectant to protect from damage, drying, and discoloration.
Don’t forget a daily serum.
Daily use of an oil/serum will help to keep your hair soft and manageable. Avoid tinted oils which will tarnish your blonde extensions.
Be dilligent about a nighttime prep routine.
Never go to sleep with wet hair, as it can cause extreme matting and tangling. Place hair in a loose top knot or braid. use a silk pillowcase to keep hair manageable and frizz-free.
Follow proper swimming/beach hair prep.
Rinse hair first with tap water and then liberally apply a leave-in conditioner. Leave your hair wet/damp , then fasten in a bubble braid. avoid all sunscreens that contain avobenzone. These can turn extension hair pink/peach on blonde hair.
Take care after activies that cause sweating- IF YOU HAVE HAND-TIED WEFTS.
When activities take place in humid conditions or when you are sweating such as the gym, steam rooms, and saunas, make sure extensions are dried immediately after. Focus on the weft line to avoid moisture retention and swelling.
Never pull the hair into a ponytail in the middle back of your head.
This can put tension on the extensions. Keep it low or fully flipped up and high. Pulling hair back into the middle of your head will cause tension on the front of your extensions and cause your own hair to be pulled out prematurely.
Do not brush over the top of the weft.
Avoid the top of the wefts where the stitching is. This can cause pulling on the weft which can cause matting and shedding. When this happens you will have to replace the wefts much sooner. It will also cause your row to slip or beads to pop out.
Always support the top of the wefts and corners.
You will do this by pressing down on or holding them when you are brushing, blow drying, and styling. This will help to maintain the health of your hair as well as the extensions. Brush hair thoroughly at least twice a day.
Separate the hair row by row if you have multiple rows.
Separate into sections by row when brushing, shampooing and blowdrying. This ensures you are being gentle on the hair and not causing unnecessary pulling, which can lead to irritation/damage.
