Washing & Brushing Guide
You’ve elevated your hair game with Covet & Mane hair extensions – now it’s time to take care of them. Here are some of our hair care tips and tricks for washing and brushing:
1. Avoid over-washing your hair extensions – what is the ideal frequency: We suggest washing once or twice a week.
2. Always brush your hair before getting into the shower to avoid tangling or matting.
3. Detergents are not your friend. Opt for a sulfate free shampooto prolong longevity of extensions and hair color.
4. Thoroughly cleanse in between wefts as well as completely rinse any excess conditioner.
5. Use a lightweight detangler & heat protectant after washing.
6. We also suggest that during winter months you consider using a very lightweight hair oil or serum 2-3 times a week on your ends to lock in moisture.
7. When you’re done showering, squeeze your hair dry (don’t rub!) and hydrate your hair with a leave-in conditioner. We recommend putting your hair in a towel turban to help soak up any excess water.
8. When brushing, pinch your hair like a ponytail and brush from the bottom up.
9. It’s extremely important to brush through your hair multiple times a day to avoid matting and knots.
10. Brush each row individually, starting mid way and making your way to the top of the weft.
11. To maintain optimal hair health, we advise periodically using a clarifying shampoo every 4-6 weeks. This deep-cleansing treatment removes any product buildup, deposits, or impurities that can dry out the hair. The result? Fresh, revitalized strands that are ready to shine.
12. Make sure to use a light conditioner for Asian Remy extensions as conditioner can become heavy and cause build up.
13. We recommend using a sulfate-free shampoo that cleanses without compromising the hair’s natural balance.
