A luxury install deserves luxury care. Whether you're wearing tape-ins, K-tips, a sew-in, or a custom unit, how you care for your hair between appointments determines how long your investment lasts — and how healthy your natural hair stays underneath. This is the routine we teach every Jolorah & Co. client.
Washing: Less Is More
Wash 1–2 times per week with a sulfate-free shampoo. Focus the shampoo on your scalp, not the lengths, and always follow with a hydrating conditioner applied from mid-shaft to ends — never on the bonds, tape, or tracks.
Drying: Never Sleep on Wet Hair
Gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel, then blow-dry the attachment area on low heat until fully dry. Wet bonds and wet wefts are fragile — drying them completely prevents slipping, matting, and mildew.
Brushing: The Right Tool, The Right Way
Use a loop brush or extension-safe brush 2–3 times a day. Start at the ends and work your way up, holding the roots to avoid tension. Never rip through tangles.
Nighttime Routine
- Braid your hair loosely or tie it in a low ponytail.
- Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase (or use a silk bonnet).
- Never go to bed with damp hair.
Heat & Styling
Always use a heat protectant, keep tools under 350°F, and avoid direct heat on attachment points. Your extensions are premium human hair — they can handle styling, but they can't repair themselves like natural hair, so every degree of protection counts.
Product Rules
- Yes: sulfate-free shampoo, lightweight leave-in conditioner, heat protectant, hair oil on the ends only.
- No: oils or heavy serums near the attachment area, alcohol-heavy sprays, clarifying shampoo directly on bonds.
Keep Your Appointments
Move-ups and maintenance visits every 6–8 weeks aren't optional — they're what keeps your install seamless and your natural hair protected. Book your next maintenance before you leave the salon so it's already on the calendar.
