Q&A

The less you wash your extensions, the longer they’ll last. We recommend washing only when there’s noticeable product build-up. We recommend washing them after every 10-15 wears or once a month. And care clip in hair extensions is very important as well

Not necessarily. Unless there is a significant amount of product buildup (such as hairspray), washing is not required. Instead, you can gently brush out the curls using a soft-bristle brush, starting from the ends and working your way up. To straighten the extensions, you may use a flat iron—just be sure to apply a heat protectant spray beforehand and use a low to medium heat setting to help preserve the hair quality.
