How to care cuticle human hair extensions
Brush hair with paddle brush before bed and before washing to ensure there are no natural
occurring tangles caused by wind or friction. Cover your hair with a scarf before going to
sleep will prevent frizzing and tangling Do not brush wet hair as that is when hair follicles
are at their most vulnerable. Use an Organic and sulfate free shampoo. Sulfate strips hair of
natural oils, as there is no direct supply of nutrients from your scalp into the extension
strands, its vital that you use a no sulfate shampoo to avoid drying the hair out. To avoid
damaging the extensions, the cuticles and your scalp, only wash with warm water. Wash the
hair gently in a downward motion with your palms, do not scrub or bunch the hair together
as this will cause open cuticles to rub against each other causing friction. Rinse between
each wash, and wash only 1-2 times. While wet, add 2-3 drops of natural oil such as
Almond or Coconut by gently applying it evenly over the hair, these oils will penetrate the
cuticles and add moisture to hair extensions. Natural oils do the work of most conditioners
without the added chemicals and silicone, natural is always best. Finally, lower the shower
head and rinse your hair (not scalp) with cold water, it will close the cuticles to lock the
moisture and nutrients in, leaving you with nutrient rich extensions. Let your hair air-dry at
home, take 2-3 hours to wash and naturally dry your hair - Do not use heat as this will swell
and dry your strands. Apply a small amount of Almond or Coconut oil 2-3 times a week or
when required. Argon oil is a great finishing oil for styling and frizz for nights out, however it
is a dry oil and does not moisturize the hair as well as Almond or Coconut.
