Hair Care Guide

Everyday Care

Proper at-home care is essential for maintaining the quality and longevity of your extensions. To prevent color fading, breakage, and shedding, follow the guidelines below:

  • Use Professional Products Only – Always use salon-grade shampoo, conditioner, leave-in conditioner, heat protectant, and UV protectant (especially with sun exposure). Product recommendations are listed below.
  • Never Sleep with Wet Hair – This can cause mildew, tangling, and breakage.
  • Install a Shower Filter – If you have hard water, a filter like the Jolie is highly recommended to prevent color fading.
  • Limit Sun Exposure – UV rays fade extension color. Always apply a UV protectant.
  • Avoid Chlorine & Salt Water – Both can dry out extensions, cause brittleness, and extreme matting if fully submerged in water.
  • Use Mineral Sunscreen – Regular sunscreens contain chemicals that can turn extensions pink or orange on contact.
  • Limit Heat Styling – Excessive high heat causes damage and fading. Keep hot tools under 400°F and use medium heat when blow-drying.
  • Oil Ends Daily- Oil your ends every night. This will help keep the extensions moisturized and avoid dry/ brittle ends.
  • Avoid High Wind Exposure- if you're going on a motorcycle or sky diving please wear your hair in a low braid to avoid matting.
