The Basics

Tape ins, Beaded Wefts, Invisible Bead Hand Tied Wefts, Fusion, and Micro Beaded extension are all going to require a lot more time and maintenance than Clip in extensions. So here is what you need to know about your handtied extensions.

-Schedule all your bump ups in advance so you do not damage your hair or the extension hair. 

-Replace your extension hair when necessary. (Generally every 9-12 months depending on how well you take care of your hair.)

-DO NOT shampoo every day and NEVER use conditioner at the root, this causes the beads and extensions to slide. Blondes- DO NOT use a toning shampoo i.e. purple or blue shampoos. 

-Use a professional leave in conditioner and oil/ serum on mids and ends to help keep your extensions hydrated. DO NOT use an oil that is colored i.e. Moroccan oil.

-Sleep with your hair in a loose pony tail or loose braid to avoid matting.

Secrets To Success 

-Brush your hair at least twice a day. Run your fingers through your hair through out the day.Take care to not brush vigorously at the root. When brushing your hair make sure to hold the hair at the root where the weft is attached.

-Any water activities, other than showering, coat your hair in leave in conditioner and place in a tight braid or bun.

-Hydrate your extensions with a professional mask once or twice a month depending on how often you shampoo. Blondes- use a purple toning mask.

-Make sure you are using a gentle elastic when putting your hair up like teleties or a scrunchie.

Shampooing & Conditioning 

-Scrub your scalp as best you can around the weft. Lift the weft up and out of the way, especially when rinsing.

-Condition only the ends.

-NEVER rub your hair in a towel. Loosely wrap it up or scrunch with the towel.

-Use leave in conditioner and lightly brush through, making sure to hold extensions.

Blow Drying

-Try and let your hair air dry 25% of the way.

-Use your fingers to rake through your hair while power drying.

-Make sure your wefts are completely dry.

-Section off hair and use a brush and dryer to completely dry hair and smooth.
