1. General Maintenance
Brushing & Detangling

Washing Extensions
- Wash your extensions with a sulfate-free shampoo.
- Use lukewarm water and avoid rough scrubbing.
- Condition your extensions to keep them soft and manageable.
2. Drying Techniques
Air Drying vs. Blow Drying
-Air Drying: Best for maintaining the health of your extensions. Allow them to dry naturally whenever possible if your natural texture will permit it.
