Curly Hair Care

CURLY HAIR REQUIRES TIME AND PATIENCE. IF YOU DON'T HAVE TIME TO CARE THIS HAIR. WE DO NOT RECOMMEND BUYING IT. CHOOSE BODY WAVE OR STRAIGHT.

For curly hair extensions, it is highly recommended to Condition (Co-Wash) at least 3 times per week. This step is vital and essential for maintaining soft and manageable hair.

Curly Hair Care Routine

Prepare Your Hair: Before getting your hair wet, divide it into 4 sections and secure them with hair clips. This will simplify the process, especially for curly textures.
Wet Your Hair: Thoroughly wet all sections while keeping them separated to avoid tangling.
Apply Conditioner: Work through each section with your conditioner, using a Denman brush. Start detangling from the ends and work your way up. Detangling is much easier when done in sections.
Deep Condition: Allow the conditioner to sit for 15-30 minutes for deep conditioning.
Rinse: Rinse your hair with cool water.

Now that the Co-Wash process is complete, let's begin Curl Definition!

Step-by-Step Guide for Defining Your Curls

Section Your Hair: Divide your hair into 3 to 4 parts and thoroughly detangle using a Denman brush. It's essential to ensure that all curls are completely brushed out; being careless at this stage can lead to problems later on.
Prepare the Spray: Mix 2/3 water and 1/3 conditioner in a spray bottle. Spray each section generously, ensuring they are fully saturated.
Add Moisture: Apply a light sealant cream to help retain moisture. Use your detangle brush on each section where the product is applied. As you brush, you’ll notice the coils beginning to form. If you followed step 1 diligently, there should be no friction here.
Scrunch to Form Curls: After washing, use a cotton cloth to scrunch each section. This step helps establish the coil shape and prevents excess water from dripping.
Drying Your Curls: While still sectioned, use a blow dryer with a diffuse attachment to dry your hair until it's at least 60% dry. The diffuser helps minimize frizz and keeps curls intact; however, air-drying is also an option. While your curls dry, refrain from touching or running your fingers through your hair.
Refresh when Needed: Until your next co-wash, use the water/conditioner mix spray to refresh your curls.

Night-time Hair Curls Care

Before heading to bed, braid it into large sections or pull it in a high ponytail, then cover with bonnet. This will help preserve your curl pattern and minimize frizz while you sleep.

Morning After Curls Care

When you're ready to style your hair in the morning, simply remove the style. Mist your hair with a mixture of water and conditioner to reactivate your leave-in product. Divide your hair into sections and brush from the tips, working your way up toward the roots. Gently scrunch your hair and let it air dry. Avoid over-manipulation, as it may result in unwanted frizz.

Protection from Sun and Water

Sun Protection:
- Prolonged sun exposure can fade and dry out your extensions. Wear a hat or scarf when you're outside for extended periods to protect them from UV rays.
Chlorine and Saltwater:
- Before swimming, wet your extensions with cool clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner. This helps minimize chlorine and salt water absorption. After swimming, rinse thoroughly with fresh water and condition.

Always apply a heat protectant when using heat styling tools to prevent damage. Regular heat styling can change your natural curl pattern and affect hair health, similar to its impact on natural hair.

PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS

We recommend hydrating conditioners to maintain the moisture required for curly textures.

Warning- Please do not use the curly hair care method on Body Wave, Indian Wavy/ Straight, Fiji Straight textures. You cannot spray these textures with conditioner and water daily. This will damage the hair to no return.

Fiji Hair texture must not be bleached passed #27 as this can severely damage the hair. This hair has been processed for texture. Do not attempt to bleach pass #27.

HEAT

When Applying Heat please use heat protectant to protect your hair. Straightening your hair on Extreme high heat can cause unrepairable damages. We would highly recommend an ionic dryer, as they wont damage the hair. Also, use good quality straightening irons and curling rods. We recommend air drying your hair extensions.

Swimming & Exercise Wash the hair immediately after swimming! When dirt and sweat accumulates, hair mattes, tangles, and becomes unmanageable.

Be sure to always wear a swim cap, if possible. Carefully comb out any tangles that may be present starting from the bottom and working your way up.

Once the hair has been detangled braid the hair in two braids to ensure that all of the hair is protected and tucked neatly under the cap. Following your dip, be sure to CO-WASH your hair immediately to remove any damaging chemical that may have snuck under your cap.

NEVER SLEEP ON WET HAIR.

Make sure your hair is completely dry before you go to bed. It is also recommended to wrap your hair together or gently tie it up to prevent tangling.

Handle With Care Before washing a lace closure/frontal gently remove hair knots and tangles with your fingers. Then, gently brush through the lace product hair with a soft bristle brush or comb it through with a wide tooth comb. Avoid yanking or pulling on your lace products, as this may cause hair to fall out or cause hair strands to become loose.
