Whether you’re wearing raw, virgin, curly, or straight textures — maintaining your extensions with proper care keeps them beautiful, soft, and full of life. Our premium hair is made to last up to two years or more with consistent care. Follow these expert steps to make your Her Love Hair look and feel brand new after every install.
1. Pre-Install Preparation
Before your stylist installs your bundles, set your hair up for success:
-
Wash or co-wash your bundles before installation to remove any factory residue and awaken the natural texture.
-
Allow your extensions to air dry naturally — avoid using high heat during the first wash.
-
Ask your stylist to fold the wefts instead of cutting them to prevent shedding and maintain weft integrity.
-
For added longevity, consider sealing your wefts to minimize shedding and protect your investment.
-
Handle your bundles gently and keep them in their natural direction during washing and drying.
2. Curly & Coily Textures — Hydration Is Everything
Curly textures thrive on moisture and gentle handling. Keep your curls soft, defined, and frizz-free with these key steps:
-
Co-wash 2–3 times per week using a rich, sulfate-free conditioner. Skip shampoo for most washes to preserve natural oils.
-
Work in small sections and detangle from ends to roots with your fingers or a wide-tooth comb while the hair is saturated with conditioner.
-
Rinse thoroughly and apply a light leave-in conditioner or curl cream to lock in hydration.
-
Let curls air dry or use a diffuser on low heat for volume and definition.
-
At night, pineapple your curls or braid loosely and protect with a satin bonnet or silk pillowcase.
-
Use lightweight, alcohol-free serums for shine — avoid heavy oils that can cause buildup or matting.
-
Refresh curls in the morning with a spray bottle of water mixed with conditioner to bring them back to life.
3. Straight & Wavy Textures — Sleek, Soft, and Timeless
Straight and wavy textures are effortless and elegant when properly maintained:
-
Wash once per week using a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
-
Apply a light serum or argan oil from mid-shaft to ends for a smooth, silky finish.
-
Always use a heat protectant before applying flat irons, wands, or blow dryers. Excessive heat can damage the cuticle and dull the hair’s shine.
-
Limit daily heat styling and opt for low-heat tools whenever possible.
-
At night, wrap your hair or braid loosely and cover it with a silk scarf or sleep on a satin pillowcase to prevent friction and breakage.
-
Brush gently with a paddle or detangling brush starting from the ends, working up to the roots.
4. Everyday Maintenance & Storage
The longevity of your extensions depends on consistent care — even when they’re not installed.
-
Store unused bundles in a satin or silk pouch to prevent tangling.
-
For wigs or units, use a wig stand or mannequin head to maintain the shape and prevent matting.
-
Avoid swimming in chlorinated or salt water, or protect the hair with a swim cap and deep condition afterward.
-
Always detangle before washing and styling, starting from the ends upward.
-
Once a month, treat your extensions to a deep-conditioning mask to restore softness and strength.
-
Handle your hair like your own natural strands — with patience and care.
