SHAMPOOING & DEEP CONDITIONING YOUR HAIR

Rinse your hair with cool water to help maintain the tightness and definition of your curl pattern. Avoid using hot water, especially on curly or wavy hair, as it may loosen the curls over time.

Always wash your hair in a downward motion to help preserve its natural texture and prevent tangling.

Avoid shampoos and conditioners that contain sulfates, alcohol, or have a pH level higher than 7, as these ingredients can dry out and damage the hair.

When detangling, apply conditioner first and begin at the ends, gently working your way up to the roots to minimize shedding and breakage.

TIPS FOR MAINTAINING YOUR HAIR: DO'S AND DON'TS 

Always co-wash your hair prior to installation for optimal results and to ensure the hair is clean, conditioned, and ready for styling.

Avoid using small-tooth or fine combs, as they may snag the hair and cause unnecessary shedding. Instead, use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to gently detangle.

Consistent care is essential to prevent tangling, buildup, and damage. Proper maintenance will help keep your hair looking beautiful and extend its lifespan.

We recommend using a lightweight hair serum or natural oil to keep the hair nourished and manageable. Avoid products containing alcohol, as they can dry out the hair.

Limit the use of multiple styling products, as excessive layering can cause buildup and leave residue on the hair.

Use only shampoos and conditioners that are free from silicones and sulfates. Silicones can create buildup that blocks moisture from penetrating the hair strands, while sulfates can strip the hair of its natural moisture, leading to dryness.

BI-WEEKLY MAINTENANCE   

We recommend washing your hair every two weeks to remove product buildup and excess oils. Always thoroughly wet the hair before applying shampoo and wash with cool water to help maintain the integrity of the strands. Co-washing is an excellent alternative to traditional shampooing.

When using shampoo, be sure to rinse the hair thoroughly to ensure all product is completely removed.

After cleansing, apply conditioner evenly throughout the hair and gently distribute it using a styling brush or wide-tooth comb. Allow the conditioner to sit for at least 8–10 hours for deep nourishment. For optimal results, we highly recommend placing the hair in a plastic bag and allowing it to condition for up to 24 hours.

Once the conditioning process is complete, rinse the hair thoroughly until the water runs completely clear. Improper rinsing may leave the hair feeling sticky, so it is important to ensure all conditioner is fully removed.

After rinsing, apply a rich leave-in conditioner to maintain softness and moisture. Allow the hair to air dry whenever possible, or use a hooded dryer with cool air. For curly textures, a diffuser is also a great option. We recommend avoiding excessive blow-drying, as high heat may cause dryness and breakage.

Before bed, wrap your hair with a satin or silk scarf to reduce friction and help prevent frizz and breakage. Always ensure your hair is completely dry before sleeping, as sleeping on wet hair can lead to tangling and damage.

 CURLY/WAVY HAIR TEXTURES

For wavy and curly textures, we recommend using a Wet Brush or a soft-tip paddle brush to gently detangle while preserving your curl pattern.

Curly and wavy hair requires more maintenance than straight or body wave textures. To prevent frizz, shedding, and tangling, maintain a consistent daily care routine.

Lightly wet the hair each day and apply a curl-defining cream or a generous amount of leave-in conditioner to enhance definition and control frizz.

 HEAT STYLING

Always apply a heat protectant before using any heat styling tools to prevent breakage. A lightweight oil, such as Argan oil, works well as a natural heat protectant.
