Care Instructions
Washing
• Use a sulfate-free shampoo, as sulfates can dry the hair out and reduce the longevity of the extensions
• Avoid Supermarket products as they contain harmful ingredients that can damage extensions.
• Avoid products with high protein or repairing properties, as overuse can make the extensions dry and brittle.
• Gently shampoo the root area in the same direction of the attachment area.
• Allow the shampoo, to run down to the mid-lengths and ends without scrubbing that area.
• Apply conditioner to mid lengths and ends only. Avoid applying it to root area, as this can cause the extensions to slip.
• Blow-dry immediately after washing, leaving extensions wet for extended periods of time can cause matting in attachment areas.
Brushing
• We recommend using our Boar Bristle Brush
• When brushing, start from the ends and work your way upward to avoid placing unnecessary tension and pulling on the attachment area.
• Brush hair extensions at least once a day
• Use a wet/dry detangling brush or extensions brush that has flexible bristles to move seamlessly through the hair
• Avoid Using a brush with stiff bristles as it may cause attachment area to slip
Sleeping
• Avoid sleeping with wet hair.
• Before going to bed, make sure your hair is dry.
• To prevent tangling and matting, put your hair in a loose braid or use a silk pillow.
Styling
• When styling your hair extensions with hot tools, it's important to use a heat protectant to prevent damage.
• Avoid applying the straightener directly on the areas where the extensions are applied.
Hydration
• Hair extensions don't receive direct blood supply or natural oils from the scalp, so it's important to keep them moisturised consistently to maintain their health and longevity.
• Use a hydrating serum and leave in, specifically designed for extensions daily.
• Only apply serum or leave-in conditioner on mid-shaft and ends of the extensions.
• Avoid applying to roots as this can cause attachment area to slip.
Colouring
• We recommend using a Semi or Demi colour
• Avoid bleaching the extensions as the harsh chemicals make the hair dry and brittle.
Smoothing Treatments
• Moka Hair Extensions are suitable for any hair smoothing treatments including Keratin, Nanoplasty and Hair Botox.
• Avoid chemical straightening or perming as this may damage your extensions.
