Brushing & Sleeping
Use a professional extension brush to avoid breakage and damage to hair. Everything Hand-Tied Hair Extension Brushes are specially designed for all types of hair extensions.
Hold the weft track at the top while brushing your hair. DO NOT rake bristles over the hair track.
Braiding or styling the hair into a bun before bed is crucial for protecting the hair from damage while sleeping. Use a weightless serum to lock in moisture.
Sleep with a satin pillowcase at night. Friction is caused when you move your head while sleeping. This friction prevents the hair from moving freely and can cause matting when using a cotton pillowcase.
