Caring for Extensions and Natural Hair

How to prepare your natural hair: *Use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner along with a thinning shampoo for one wash if desired *Use a leave-in conditioner or some other type of moisturizer (I used Better Braids Medicated Spray) *Let your hair air dry (give it a break from heat) *Use a braid pattern that works best for the type of extensions you are using *Use a wig cap Product suggestions: www.theraprohair.com http www.keystone-labs.com Caring for extensions: *Shampoo and condition extensions every 1-2 weeks with moisturizing products (Dove, Creme of Nature, Goldwell's Kerasilk, Pureology) *Let wigs air dry on a manikin head with a leave-in conditioner (Lanza, Paul Mitchell, PhytoSpecific) *Use a heat protectant when using heat styling (Redken's Smooth Down serum, Paul Mitchell's Skinny serum) *To prevent the hair from tangling, use leave-in conditioners to keep the hair moisturized throughout the week. Make sure to moisturize your own hair as well. Stay away from heavy oils. Use your fingers or a wide comb to detangle. A boar bristle brush is good for keeping the extensions smooth.
