Maintenance

Upon Receipt of Hair

Always inspect the hair before installation. If there are any issues with the hair you should notice at this time.
Lastly, we highly recommend  co-washing .

Washing

Use a good quality shampoo and conditioner , such as our Vanilla Lavender Conditioning Shampoo and/or our Basil Mint Fortifying Conditioner . Detangle the hair first from the ends to the roots before shampooing. Wash the hair gently in a downward motion (from the roots to the ends). Rubbing can cause the hair to tangle. When you are done, rinse your hair thoroughly. Make sure that your hair is clean before you use a hair conditioner. Condition the hair after every wash.  Dry the hair gently, don’t rub it with a towel but move in a downward motion from roots to ends.

Daily Maintenance

Use styling products minimally to avoid build up. For Wavy & Curly hair ,use a spray bottle of water for natural look. For a “WET” look, we suggest a leave in conditioner such as our Coconut Lime Verbena Leave in Conditioner or/and our  Lemongrass Kiwi Curl Defining Creme .
Comb through (wide tooth comb) beginning at the ends and working your way up to your scalp.
 Let hair air-dry.
Style as desired.

Hair Styling Products

Use a good (leave-in) conditioner to keep your hair soft, our Coconut Lime Verbena Leave in Conditioner is a great chioce. Don’t over do it. To much conditioner or any other hair care product can cause a build up and tangling. Avoid hair products that contain alcohol. Alcohol makes hair dry.

Hair Treatments

When you would like to perm or color your hair, don’t do it yourself, unless you have the necessary professional background and knowledge to do so. Consult your hair stylist.

Exercising

Avoid long exposure to chlorine and salt water, it causes the  hair to tangle and mat up. It is recommended to wear a swim cap if possible or wear your hair up to keep it out of the water. After swimming it is best to shampoo and condition your hair immediately. In general it is a good habit to wear your hair up or in a ponytail when you exercise.

Sleeping

DO NOT sleep on wet hair. Make sure that your hair is completely dry when you go to sleep. A good habit is to tie your hair together in a ponytail to prevent tangling as much as possible.
