Love your extensions, and they’ll love you back—nursing them well means longer life, better shine, and a flawless look every day.
🧖♀️ Step 1: Washing Your Hair Extensions
Wash Frequency:
- Clip-in / Halo: Every 10–15 wears or when product buildup is visible.
- Tape-in / Sew-in / Keratin: Once or twice per week.
Washing Tips:
- Use sulfate-free, alcohol-free shampoo to prevent dryness.
- Always brush gently before washing to remove tangles.
- Wash with lukewarm water, in a downward motion—no twisting or scrubbing.
- Apply conditioner mid-length to ends (avoid roots for tape-in extensions).
- Let air-dry naturally on a towel or hanger. Avoid blow-drying unless necessary.
💆♀️ Step 2: Daily Care & Brushing
Brushing Tips:
- Use a wide-tooth comb or a loop brush specifically designed for extensions.
- Start from the ends and work your way up.
- Brush 2–3 times a day, especially in the morning and before bed.
- Always hold the roots with one hand while brushing to reduce tension.
Night Routine:
- Clip-ins: Remove before sleeping.
- Permanent types (tape-in, sew-in): Tie your hair into a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling.
- Use a silk pillowcase to reduce friction.
💧 Step 3: Moisturizing & Nourishing
- Use a leave-in conditioner or hair serum weekly.
- Avoid oily products near the roots or tape areas to prevent slipping.
- Apply argan oil or coconut oil to the ends if they feel dry.
- Avoid products with high alcohol content (they dry out the hair).
🔥 Step 4: Heat Styling Tips
Yes, Fshine Hair is 100% human hair—you can curl, straighten, or wave it just like your own!
✅ Do:
- Always use a heat protectant spray before styling.
- Keep styling tools below 180°C / 350°F.
- Curl in small sections and allow to cool for long-lasting styles.
❌ Avoid:
- Applying direct heat to the tape, glue, or bond areas.
- Excessive daily heat use (it will shorten hair lifespan).
🎨 Step 5: Dyeing & Coloring
- Fshine Hair can be dyed, but we recommend going darker rather than lighter.
- Use professional-grade hair dye, and always test a small strand first.
- For major color changes (like bleaching), consult a hairstylist.
⛔ What to Avoid
🚫 Don’t sleep with wet extensions.
🚫 Don’t wash with hot water.
🚫 Don’t use purple shampoo unless you’re toning blonde hair (and even then, use rarely).
🚫 Don’t pull or brush harshly when wet—it causes shedding.
🚫 Don’t swim in saltwater or chlorinated water with extensions on (or wear a protective cap).
