How to Care For Your Hair
- Its recommended you co-wash your hair with a conditioner at least once a week. Using cold water to make it shinier, lock in moisture and reduce frizz.
- Also recommended to seal your wefts before hair install. Sealing wefts will prevent shedding by applying the sealant to both sides of the weft. Do not cut wefts during install.
- Use wide toothed comb. Or, use your fingers.
- To protect the hair from heat, use a heat protectant spray, oil or serum when using heating tools.
- Tips To Root when using your comb, brush, or fingers & start at the tips of your hair and work your way up to the root (weft) of hair.
- Continuously deep condition hair. Use shampoos that do not contain sulfates or parabens.
- Wrap It Up. Remember to twist, braid, bantu-knot, flexi-rod, roller set, rod set, or wrap your hair before sleep for better maintenance.
- Use low sulfate shampoo and conditioner……avoid using products that contain alcohol to prevent hair from drying out
Special Care for Curly Hair
- Choose a shampoo & conditioner that suit your hair type.
Curly or coarse hair probably wants frizz-minimizing and softening shampoo.
Colored or treated hair probably needs a shampoo that's fortified with extracts or amino acids.
- Proper way to deep condition curly hair.
Deep condition at least once a week with cold water. (Silicon Mix recommended). Apply moderate amount of conditioner starting about an inch down from the root all the way down to the tips of your hair. Wait about 15 minutes before rinsing, then use a wide toothed comb working up from the tips to the roots of your hair.
- Proper way to blow-dried curly hair
After washed the hair, towel dry hair slightly, just enough to stop the dripping. Don't rub your hair with the towel. Start blow drying at the top/roots, about six inches away from your scalp with low-temperature setting best if a diffuser is used. Work your way down and leave your hair a little bit damp. (Tips: If you want some lift and volume, use your hands to comb your roots up and blow-dry).
- Styling curly hair- Shape the hair by scrunching it some more and twirling pieces around a finger. Avoid using brushes and narrow-toothed combs and avoid touching your hair as much as possible. This can separate your curls and lead to unwanted frizz.
Do not suggest straightening curly hair to preserve curl pattern.
