Wash your hair 1 to 2 times a week with Goldie Locks Ultra Hydrating Signature Shampoo + Conditioner for fabulous results.
Before you dive into washing, make sure to brush out every single tangle. Seriously, get them all out!
Got multiple rows of extensions? Section them half up, half down so you can cleanse between them like a pro. Wash gently and avoid rubbing the ends of your hair together.
When it's time to condition, apply conditioner from the ears down, and around the face-framing pieces. Skip the scalp and where the extensions are tied in to keep things light and fresh.
Use a wet brush or wide-tooth comb to gently distribute the conditioner. Say no to tangles at all costs!
If daily washing is your thing, try the “half wash” to keep your extensions happy. Section off the top part of your hair and braid the extensions out of the way.
For the half wash, shampoo and condition the top section of your natural hair directly under the faucet, sink, or shower. After washing, apply Goldie Locks Ultra Hydrating Leave-In Conditioner before drying, and finish with the Signature Serum for that perfect look. These steps will let you wash daily without any worries
reat your hair with love by gently squeezing out excess water after washing. Daily moisture is key, so pamper your locks with a leave-in conditioner, serum, or oil suited to your hair type. Before blow-drying, shield your strands with a heat protectant for extra TLC.
Brush out each row from top to bottom before drying to ensure a smooth finish. While air-drying is an option, be sure the roots are dry to avoid any unwanted tangles or mold.
Remember, dry hair is happy hair, so make sure your mane is completely dry before hitting the hay!
i recommend sleeping in a protective style. braid high bun or twists. Do not sleep on your extensions while they’re wet, it will damage your natural hair and can cause matting and mold. and a good silk pillow case will help frizz, splitends and its good for your skin ;)
When it comes to styling Feel free to straighten or curl your hair with your extensions just like you would with your natural hair. But remember, always use a heat protectant before reaching for those hot tools to keep your locks looking luscious.
Here's a fun fact: with extensions, I've actually found that I need to style my hair way less because it holds styles so well! My natural hair never held a curl, but with extensions, I can curl it after washing and drying, then touch up the curls throughout the week. It's a real time-saver!
brush your hair multiple times a day. A wet brush or wide-tooth comb works wonders for gently detangling. And don't forget to brush all the way up to the seam of your extensions to prevent matting at the roots.
The best part? You can rock a high ponytail or bun with ease—no worries about showing off any beads or tape.
Yes, you can swim with extensions, but there are a few things to keep in mind. Some water contains minerals that can react poorly with your extensions, leading to discoloration or dryness. Ocean water, in particular, can be harsh and drying, causing severe matting.
For a worry-free swim, consider these tips:
-Wet your hair before entering the pool, lake, or any body of water.
-Apply a leave-in conditioner or hair mask after wetting your hair.
-Comb the conditioner or mask through your hair, then style it in a bubble braid or a tight bun or ponytail.
-After swimming, brush and wash your hair immediately.
Be cautious with sunscreen, as many brands can turn your extensions an undesirable brassy orange or peach color. Look for mineral sunscreens like Goldie Locks Sheer Mineral Sunscreen or the "bare republic" brand, available at Ulta or Target. Avoid sunscreens containing "Avobenzone."
By following these tips, you can enjoy your swim without worrying about your extensions. Happy swimming!
