How to wash curly hair

CLEANSE

Using a sulfate-free shampoo or cleanser will ensure your extensions are clean and free of build up. Starting with a clean base, will also allow the conditioning process to work as intended without weighing the hair down.

The Texture ID Curl Clarifying Shampoo is a great cleanser. It has a creamy texture, a light scent and lathers nicely without leaving hair feeling stripped.

CONDITION

The best conditioners for textured hair extensions are ones that have lots of slip and add moisture back into the hair. If the conditioner you're using doesn't melt into the hair right away leaving it softer and more manageable than when you started, it's not the right product!

The TGINatural Honey Miracle Mask and Green Tea Supermoist Leave-in Conditioner are something like a dynamic duo. The hair mask works best when it's left on the hair for at least 15 min and rinsed out, where the leave-in is meant to be left in the hair for detangling and styling.

DETANGLE

Like your natural hair, it is important to keep your hair extensions free of tangles and using the right tool can make a huge difference.

Using a detangling brush, gently brush hair starting at the ends of the hair and work upward while the hair is completely wet and saturated in a slippery conditioner or creamy leave-in. This will allow the brush to glide smoothly through the hair strands and minimize shedding.

DO NOT

Detangle dry hair without product

Use products meant for strengthening hair i.e. protein-based products

Use products that cause build up ie. shea butter, coconut oil etc.

Now that you have the basics covered, you're ready to start styling your Hair extensions!
