Caring for Your Covet & Mane Textured Extensions
Our textured extensions are designed to give you a flawless, natural look that blends seamlessly with your own hair. With proper care, you can maintain their beauty and longevity for months to come. Follow these simple tips to keep your textured extensions looking fresh and fabulous:
1. Gentle Detangling
Before washing or styling, detangle your textured extensions using a wide-tooth comb or your fingers. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid breakage. Always detangle when the hair is dry to prevent unnecessary stress on the bonds.
2. Hydration is Key
Textured hair requires extra moisture to stay soft and defined. Use a sulfate-free, hydrating shampoo and conditioner to cleanse and nourish your extensions. For best results, apply a deep conditioning treatment once a week to keep your extensions moisturized and healthy.
3. Drying Your Extensions
After washing, gently squeeze out excess water with a towel. Avoid rubbing or wringing the hair. Let your extensions air-dry whenever possible to preserve their texture. If you must use heat, apply a heat protectant and use a diffuser on a low heat setting.
4. Defining Your Curls
To enhance the texture of your extensions, apply a lightweight curl cream or leave-in conditioner. Use a scrunching motion to define your curls or waves without weighing them down. For more definition, try twisting or braiding the hair while damp and letting it air dry.
5. Nighttime Care
Protect your extensions at night by sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction. You can also loosely braid or twist your hair, or wear a silk scarf or bonnet to maintain the texture and prevent tangling while you sleep.
6. Heat Styling
While our textured extensions are heat-safe, it’s best to minimize the use of heat styling tools to maintain the integrity of the curl pattern. When necessary, always use a heat protectant spray, and opt for lower heat settings to prevent damage.
7. Routine Maintenance
Schedule regular maintenance appointments with your stylist to ensure your extensions remain in optimal condition. Your stylist can also recommend the best products for your hair type and help adjust any bonds that may have loosened.
