Yes! Our 100% human hair extensions can be styled with heat tools just like your natural hair.

Important tips:

• Always use a heat protectant spray before styling
• Keep heat tools on medium settings (300-350°F)
• Avoid applying heat directly to attachment points
• Let extensions cool completely before brushing
• For synthetic extensions, check the heat resistance rating (usually up to 320°F)

You can curl, straighten, and style your extensions to match your natural hair perfectly!

For Semi-Permanent Extensions (tape-ins, nano rings, I-tips):

1. Brush hair gently before washing to remove tangles
2. Wet hair in a downward motion (don't flip upside down)
3. Apply sulfate-free shampoo to roots and scalp
4. Rinse thoroughly in a downward motion
5. Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends (avoid attachment points)
6. Rinse with cool water
7. Gently squeeze out excess water (don't rub)
8. Let air dry or blow dry on low heat

For Removable Extensions (clip-ins, fish line):

1. Remove extensions from your hair
2. Fill a basin with lukewarm water and sulfate-free shampoo
3. Gently swish extensions in water
4. Rinse thoroughly
5. Apply conditioner and let sit for 5-10 minutes
6. Rinse with cool water
7. Lay flat on a towel to air dry

Wash frequency: 1-2 times per week for semi-permanent, after every 15-20 wears for clip-ins.

When applied and maintained correctly, hair extensions should NOT damage your natural hair.

To prevent damage:

• Choose the right method for your hair type (lightweight options for fine hair)
• Have extensions applied by a professional or follow instructions carefully
• Don't wear extensions that are too heavy for your natural hair
• Get regular maintenance appointments to prevent matting
• Remove extensions properly - never pull or tug
• Give your hair breaks between applications if needed
• Keep your natural hair and scalp healthy with proper care

Methods like clip-ins, fish line, and nano rings are particularly gentle and damage-free when used correctly.

For the most natural look:

• Match Your Base: Choose extensions that match your natural hair color at the roots
• Consider Highlights: If you have highlights, choose a shade slightly lighter than your base for dimension
• Lighting Matters: Check color in natural daylight, not just indoor lighting
• When in Doubt: Go slightly lighter - you can always darken extensions, but lightening is harder

Popular colors:

• #1B Natural Black: Deep black for dark hair
• #27 Dark Blonde: Warm honey blonde
• #60 Platinum Blonde: Ice white blonde
• #613 Bleach Blonde: Light blonde base

Yes, but with caution! Our 100% human hair extensions can be colored or bleached.

Important guidelines:

• Darkening is safer than lightening - you can always go darker with less risk
• Bleaching: Only recommended for darker extensions going lighter. Use a professional or proceed carefully
• Toning: Blonde extensions can be toned to adjust the shade
• Patch Test: Always test on a small section first
• Professional Recommended: For major color changes, consult a professional colorist
• Deep Condition: After coloring, use a deep conditioning treatment

Note: Synthetic extensions cannot be colored or bleached.

Yes, but with precautions!

Swimming:

• Wet your hair with clean water before entering pool/ocean (prevents absorption of chlorine/salt)
• Wear a swim cap for best protection
• Braid or tie hair in a low ponytail
• Rinse immediately after swimming
• Use a clarifying shampoo to remove chlorine/salt
• Deep condition after swimming

Working Out:

• Tie hair in a low ponytail or braid
• Avoid high, tight ponytails that stress attachment points
• Rinse or wash after sweaty workouts
• Semi-permanent extensions (tape-ins, nano rings) are more secure for active lifestyles
• Clip-ins should be removed before intense workouts

With proper care, you can maintain an active lifestyle with extensions!
