Brushing, Blow Drying + Styling
A WetBrush is your best friend! Start brushing from the ends of your hair and work your way up. be sure to secure the base of your rows so that you can alleviate excess tension. This will keep your scalp healthy!
Detangle all the way to the top of the wefts, but don’t over brush at the base of the extensions.
Sectioning off your rows, starting at the base of your natural hair, is the easiest way to make sure all tangles have been removed. Drop each row of extensions, and each row of your natural hair down until you reach the top.
Prior to blow drying, apply a leave in and heat protectant. A little bit goes a long way!
Rough dry your hair 80% of the way. Once the hair is MOSTLY dry, you can use a round brush with a little bit of tensions to complete your blow dry.
For a faster blow-dry, section your rows and rough dry one by one.
Sleeping
Brush your hair thoroughly and make sure your hair is COMPLETELY dry.
1 or 2 loose braids secured with a scrunch will secure your hair and prevent friction. A low pony is another option.
Sleep with a silk pillow case.
