Home Care Guide
These guidelines, if followed, ensure your own hair is kept in good condition and allowed to grow freely while wearing hair extensions.
Extensions
Be gentle with your hair. If wearing your hair in a bun or ponytail style, if there is any tension or pain, your style is too tight. Lower ponytails and styles that keep the attachments at natural fall are advised.
Caution! Avoid extreme heat at the root or attachment of extensions. Excessive heat too close to the attachments will ruin your hair extensions. Blowdryers should be held at least 10 inches away from the root, at medium heat. We recommend the Bioprogramming Hairbeauron Straight and Hairbeauron Curl for healthy heat styling.

Styling
Using a CX8 brush by Ibiza Hair Tools, brush gently starting from the ends. Never start brushing your hair at the root. Hold hair at the base of the attachments before brushing to reduce tension.Brush your hair regularly- at least 2x per day.
Brushing
it is best to sleep with your hair in a loose braid or low pony to prevent any tangling or matting
Sleeping
Brush hair gently and apply 1 pump of oil to the ends before shampooing. This will avoid tangling after the shower. Hair is like a sponge, if it’s full of good moisture, it won’t be able to soak up pollutants in the water. Wash your hair standing in the shower, never in the bath or upside-down. Keep the attachments at natural fall.
First, rinse hair thoroughly before shampooing to remove buildup. Wash scalp gently with the pads of your fingers, gently exfoliating your scalp. Do not scrub in round motions around the attachments, this will cause tangling. Shampoo hair no less than every 3-4 days. Keep your scalp clean and without excess oil buildup. Treat your scalp like your face, hair cannot grow properly if you have a dirty scalp clogged with oil and product.
Washing Your Extensions
If you are going on vacation, in a pool, in the ocean, working out, et ceterawe advise you to loosely braid your extensions for the duration of the activity. As soon as you are done, take your hair down and wash and dry it thoroughly. Do not ever leave hair in a wet braid or bun. Leaving hair up + wet for a period of time will cause tangling and loosen attachments. You should never go on a boat, ride in a convertible, or any other windy activity without your hair in a braid to prevent matting.
If you will be in the sun, please be sure to use a mineral based sunscreen to prevent the color of your extensions from changing. Be sure to avoid:
-Avobenzone
-Octocrylene
-Oxybenzone
