Washing Your Hair (Extensions & Natural Hair)
Detangle Before Washing:
Always detangle your hair or extensions using a wig brush or wide-tooth comb. Start from the bottom and work your way up to avoid breakage.
Use Cool Water:
Rinse hair with cool water to help preserve the curl pattern, especially with textured extensions.
Conditioner First:
You can use conditioner-only for light cleansing (co-wash). After about two weeks, wash thoroughly with a sulfate-free shampoo to remove product build-up, dirt, and residue.
Recommended Products:
Pantene Gold Series Moisture Boost Conditioner (great for co-washing)
Redken All Soft Mega Curls Shampoo + Conditioner (deep cleanse & hydrate)
Pantene Gold Series Sulfate-Free Shampoo (moisturizing and gentle)
Minimal Heating
Always Use Heat Protectant:
Before using a flat iron or curling wand, apply a heat protectant spray to prevent heat damage.
Limit Product Buildup:
Avoid using too many styling products. Overuse can weigh hair down and clog follicles, especially in wigs or sewn-in extensions.
Caring for Curly Textures
Curl Maintenance:
For curly styles, apply a curl-defining cream or mousse every other day to keep curls bouncy and frizz-free.
Wet Look Routine:
To achieve a defined “wet look,” lightly mist hair with water, then apply a curl-defining product evenly throughout the strands.
Recommended Curl Definers:
Redken Curvaceous Curl Refiner
Pantene Gold Series Curl Defining Pudding
Mielle Pomegranate & Honey Curl Smoothie (natural-friendly)
Night Care Routine
Before Bed:
Lightly wet the hair, then gently braid or twist it while damp (not soaking wet). Avoid tight braids to prevent tension.
Prevent Tangling:
This helps minimize friction, reduce matting, and maintain defined curls by morning.
Sleep Tip:
Always sleep with a satin bonnet or on a silk pillowcase to reduce frizz and preserve moisture.
