Daily Care Routine

Simple steps to maintain beautiful, healthy extensions

1

Gentle Brushing

Always brush from the ends upward, working your way to the roots. Use a wide-tooth comb or loop brush designed for extensions.

2

Conditioning

Apply a light leave-in conditioner to keep extensions soft and manageable. Avoid applying directly to the roots or attachment points.

3

Gentle Handling

Handle your extensions with care. Avoid pulling or tugging when styling. Be gentle when tying your hair back to prevent stress on the clips.

4

Night Care

Remove clip-in extensions before bed. If wearing permanent extensions, braid your hair loosely to prevent tangling while you sleep.

Washing & Styling Tips

Keep your extensions fresh and styled to perfection

Washing Guide

Frequency

Wash clip-in extensions every 15-20 wears, or when product buildup occurs. Less is more!

Shampoo Choice

Use sulfate-free, gentle shampoo. Avoid products with alcohol which can dry out synthetic fibres.

Washing Method

Fill a basin with lukewarm water and shampoo. Gently swish extensions through the water. Don't rub or twist!

Drying

Pat dry with a towel and lay flat to air dry. Avoid heat drying when possible to maintain fibre quality.

Styling Tips

Heat Styling

Kanekalon fibre can withstand low to medium heat (up to 180°C/356°F). Always use heat protectant spray.

Product Usage

Use styling products sparingly. Light serums and sprays work best. Avoid heavy oils and waxes.

Curl & Wave

Create curls with low-heat tools or flexi-rods. Allow extensions to cool completely before brushing.

Storage

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Hang or lay flat in the original box or a breathable bag.

Kanekalon Fibre Care

Caring for Your Kanekalon Synthetic Extensions

Premium synthetic fibre requires special care for long-lasting beauty

What is Kanekalon?

Kanekalon is a premium Japanese modacrylic synthetic fibre that mimics the look and feel of natural hair. It's soft, lightweight, heat-resistant up to 180°C (356°F), and maintains its style beautifully. Unlike human hair extensions, synthetic Kanekalon fibre is pre-styled and requires minimal maintenance while delivering a flawless, natural appearance.

DO's for Kanekalon

Detangle Gently

Always use a wide-tooth comb or your fingers, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots.

Wash with Cool Water

Use cool or lukewarm water only. Hot water can damage the fibres and cause frizzing.

Use Sulfate-Free Products

Opt for gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to preserve the fibre's integrity and colour.

Air Dry

After washing, gently squeeze out excess water with a towel and allow the hair to air dry naturally.

Store Properly

When not in use, store your extensions in a satin or silk bag to prevent tangling and dust accumulation.

Use Heat Protectant

If your specific style is heat-friendly, always apply a heat protectant spray before styling and use low heat settings (up to 180°C/356°F).

DON'Ts for Kanekalon

Don't Use Hot Water

This is the fastest way to compromise the fibre, leading to irreversible frizz and tangling.

Don't Sleep with Wet Hair

This can cause severe matting and tangling that is difficult to resolve. Always ensure hair is completely dry.

Don't Brush Roughly

Never use a brush or fine-tooth comb on dry hair, as this can pull and break the fibres.

Don't Apply Heavy Products

Avoid silicone-based serums, heavy oils, and alcohol-based hairsprays, which can cause buildup and weigh the hair down.

Don't Use High Heat

Even on heat-friendly styles, avoid high-temperature styling tools to prevent scorching or melting the fibres.

Don't Colour or Dye

Kanekalon fibre is pre-coloured and cannot be dyed or lightened with traditional hair colour. This will damage the hair.

Step-by-Step Washing Instructions

Follow these steps for perfect results every time

1

Pre-Wash Detangle

Gently comb through the hair to remove any knots before it gets wet. This prevents tangling during washing.

2

Rinse

Rinse the hair thoroughly under cool, running water. Make sure all the hair is wet before applying shampoo.

3

Shampoo

Apply a small amount of sulfate-free shampoo. Gently work it through the hair in a downward motion—do not scrub or rub vigorously. Rinse completely.

💡 Pro Tip: Use synthetic hair shampoo or baby shampoo for best results.

4

Condition

Apply a generous amount of silicone-free conditioner, avoiding the roots or wefts. Leave it in for 3-5 minutes, then rinse thoroughly until the water runs clear.

⚠️ Important: Don't apply conditioner to the clips or attachment points—this can cause slipping.

5

Dry

Pat the hair gently with a towel to remove excess water. Do not wring or twist. Hang the hair to air dry completely before storing or styling.

✨ Best Practice: Lay flat on a clean towel or hang over a hanger to maintain shape while drying.

How Often Should I Wash?

Wash your Signature Syn Halo extensions only when necessary—typically every 15-20 wears or when you notice a loss of lustre or product buildup. Over-washing can shorten their lifespan.

Styling & Maintenance Tips

Expert tricks to keep your extensions looking flawless

Reviving Curls

To refresh curls without washing, lightly mist the hair with water and scrunch gently.

Steam Method: You can also use a steam method from a distance to reactivate the curl pattern without wetting the entire piece.

Removing Build-Up

If hair feels weighed down, a rinse with a mixture of cool water and a tablespoon of apple cider vinegar can help remove residue.

Follow Up: Always finish with a cool water rinse to seal the fibres and restore shine.

Colour Preservation

To maintain vibrant colours, minimize exposure to direct sunlight and chlorine.

Always Use: Colour-safe, sulfate-free formulas to prevent fading and maintain the rich tone of your extensions.
