Your Hair Journey
Start taking care of your natural mane to achieve the perfect install.
Maintain Healthy, Moisturised Hair
Healthy, moisturized hair is the foundation for any extension install. Natural black hair tends to be drier, so it’s crucial to hydrate your hair regularly. Use a deep conditioner or leave-in conditioner that targets moisture retention, and consider oils like jojoba, argan, or castor oil to seal in hydration. Hydrated hair is more flexible and less prone to breakage during the extension application.
Trim Regularly for Strong Ends
Trim your natural hair every 6-8 weeks to remove split ends and ensure your hair remains strong. Healthy ends contribute to a smoother install, and trimmed hair is less likely to tangle or cause discomfort when extensions are applied. The less stress on your natural hair, the better your extension install will look and feel.
Avoid Excessive Heat
Frequent heat styling can damage natural black hair and cause dryness or breakage. Try to limit the use of flat irons, curling wands, and blow dryers leading up to your extension install. If you must use heat, always lower the temperature and apply a heat protectant to shield your strands from damage.
Scalp Care is Key
A healthy scalp is crucial for both the longevity of your extensions and the health of your natural hair. Cleanse your scalp regularly using a sulfate-free shampoo to prevent buildup that can clog pores and stunt hair growth. Incorporate gentle scalp massages with nourishing oils to improve circulation and promote healthy hair growth. A well-maintained scalp will make extensions feel lighter and more comfortable.
