Hair Care Tips

Installation Requirements 
All of our hair has the cuticle intact. Therefore, we recommend before installation that you always: · Rinse the hair under warm water. It is important that you keep the plastic security band on the weft during this process for it to be easily washed.
· condition it only & repeat rinsing with warm water.
· Set out to air dry. 
Freshly washed hair always looks better when styling.

Closures/Frontals:

Our top closures and frontal pieces are specially handmade and fragile. Each hair is individually implanted into the base, knotted, and secured with a strong adhesive. Excessive tugging, brushing/combing, scratching with fingernails or foreign objects, applying product directly on the closure, rough handling, vigorous washing, etc. can cause your closure piece to bald. Just keep in mind that this is not your real scalp so it is extremely important to handle your closure piece with care. You can actually pull the hair out by being rough with your closure or with excessive tension and unfortunately, there is no way to fix this, but to replace it with a new one. Take very good care of your closure and you will get a long life out of it as many women do!

 Closures and frontals Lasts 1-3 months with proper care with wigs the pieces can last much longer.

 STYLING 

  • · Bella extensions may be flat ironed, roller set, crimped, curled, cut and dyed. 
  • · Washing or wetting wavy or curly hair will automatically restore its natural curls/waves when aired dried.
  • · Use leave-in conditioner or curl activator as well as a spray bottle of water to restore curls without washing hair. 

PRODUCTS

  • · Do NOT use products that contain an alcohol base because it can dry the hair out.
  • · Products such as shampoo and conditioners that are formulated for dry hair or sulfate free products are the best since the hair is not getting any nutrients from the scalp. Shea moisture and Organix are cost effective recommended shampoo brands.
  • · Leave-in conditioners in liquid form and serums are great for the ends of the hair.
