WASHING YOUR EXTENSIONS

FOR CURLY HAIR

Allow hair to dry naturally until ‘bone dry’. Do not use the hair dryer to blow the hair and the extensions will return to their original state.


FOR STRAIGHT HAIR

After rinsing and towel blotting (drying) the hair, it is advisable to spray the hair with a leave-in conditioner before attempting to remove any possible tangles with a wide toothcomb. Starting at the ends of the hair, comb the hair carefully to remove any existing tangles. Move in a downward motion away from the clips towards the ends.
