How to Wash Your Extensions

1

Brush Before Washing

Gently brush your extensions to remove any tangles before washing. Use a wide-tooth comb starting from the ends and working up.

2

Use Lukewarm Water

Fill a basin with lukewarm water (not hot) and add a small amount of sulphate-free shampoo. Never use regular shampoo with harsh chemicals.

3

Wash Gently

Swish the extensions gently in the water - never rub or scrub vigorously as this can damage the fibres and cause tangling.

4

Conditioner Only on Ends

Apply conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends only. Never apply conditioner to the root area or the wire as it can weaken the bonds.

5

Rinse Thoroughly

Rinse with cool water to seal the cuticles and remove all product. Any residue left behind can cause buildup and tangling.

Drying & Storage

Drying Tips

  • Pat dry gently with a towel - never rub
  • Air dry on a wig stand when possible
  • Use low heat if blow drying
  • Allow to dry completely before styling

Storage Tips

  • Store in the provided storage bag
  • Keep away from direct sunlight
  • Store flat or on a wig stand
  • Never store when damp

Heat Styling Guidelines

Maximum Safe Temperature: 180°C (356°F)

Our premium Kanekalon fibre is heat-friendly, but exceeding this temperature will cause permanent damage to the fibres.

Safe Practices

  • Always use heat protectant spray
  • Start with lower temperatures
  • Use a heat-resistant comb
  • Allow to cool before handling

Avoid These

  • Never exceed 180°C
  • Avoid direct flame or heat sources
  • Don't use steam tools at high temps
  • Never style when extension is wet

Pro Tips for Longevity

💡 Brush Daily

Use a soft-bristle brush or wide-tooth comb twice daily to prevent tangles and maintain smoothness.

🧴 Use sulphate-free Products

Harsh sulphates strip natural oils and cause dryness. Always use extension-safe, sulphate-free products.

🚿 Wash Less Frequently

Wash only when necessary (every 10-15 wears) to extend the life of your extensions. Over-washing causes wear.

🌙 Remove Before Sleep

Always remove your halo extensions before sleeping to prevent tangling and extend their lifespan.
