Proper care for your raw hair extensions is important to maintain its quality and longevity. By using premium hair care products and following these essential tips, you can ensure your Hair So Glamorous Luxury Hair Extensions remain healthy and vibrant.
PRE- INSTALLATION
Always wash your hair extensions using sulfate-free shampoos and nourishing conditioners to cleanse and hydrate your extensions prior to installation.
Step 1: Do not remove zip ties prior to washing and conditioning the hair. Wet extensions with warm water and apply shampoo. Use your fingers to gently comb through the hair. Rinse and repeat.
Step 2: Apply nourishing conditioner using our Define + Style Detangling Brush - great for straight and wavy textures, to gently detangle your extensions, starting
from the ends and working your way up. Do not rinse.
Step 3: Thoroughly brush the hair to ensure even distribution. Do not rinse.
Step 4: Store hair in a plastic bag and microwave the hair for 2 minutes.
Step 5: Rinse hair thoroughly in cold water and allow it to air dry. We recommend laying the extensions flat to dry.
Shampoo and condition your raw hair at least once a week. This routine can also be followed with your Hair So Glamorous Luxury Wigs.
Also, be sure to follow our Hair Care Guide found in your order package.
INSTALLATION
Installing hair extensions can vary depending on the type of extensions you have (sew-in, clip-in, tape-in, etc.), but here are general steps:
1. Prepare Your Hair
Start with a clean, dry hair and moisturized scalp.
2. Section Your Hair
Divide your hair into sections using hair clips or ties. This makes it easier to work with and ensures that the extensions are evenly distributed.
3. Attach the Extensions
Sew-in Extensions: Braid your natural hair into cornrows. Double the track by folding the weft in half. Sew the wefts of hair extensions onto the braids using a needle and thread. For more sew-in installation please consult with your professional hairstylist.
Clip-in Extensions: Tease the roots of your hair where you’ll be placing the clips to help them grip better. Open the clips on the extensions and attach them to your hair, starting from the bottom and working your way up. Snap the clips shut securely.
Tape-in Extension: Remove the backing from the tape and sandwich a thin section of your hair between two tape wefts. Press firmly to secure.
4. Blend
Once all the extensions are in place, use a brush and/or hot tool to blend your natural hair with the extensions for a seamless look.
POST-INSTALLATION
