Hair Care
Here are a few tips on daily hair care to keep your Envy Her Hair products looking healthy, manageable and re-usable; because with proper maintenance, your hair can last up to 2 years.
Before you install your bundles, I strongly suggest that you shampoo them 2x, condition 1x, for the best results. When you Rinse out the conditioner, rinse until there are no suds left. Rinsing the conditioner out is one of the most critical steps. If you do not clean thoroughly, any residue or traces of product left in the hair will result in STIFF and DULL hair...then... Let your bundles (hang dry) or Lay flat to air dry.
1. Use sulfate FREE shampoo and conditioner (Products that contain sulfate are very damaging and extremely drying to the hair.)
2. Use moisturizing and hydrating products
3. Use a shampoo with oil in it, such as "argan oil" "Moroccan oil" "keratin oil."
4. Treat extensions like your hair. Use a good quality shampoo and conditioning products. Conditioning your hair is essential to keep it soft and manageable; we recommend using a deep conditioner on your virgin hair twice per month.
We advise that you comb your hair daily. Gently brushing hair starting from the ends and work your way up towards your scalp. Starting from the ends keeps the pressure off the weft area and is an excellent way to maintain the longevity of the extensions.
Before Going to Bed: Gently brush hair to remove all tangles. Braid your hair into a couple of big braids, wrap your hair, or tie your hair into a ponytail; then cover with a satin scarf/bonnet or use a silk pillowcase.
Coloring Tips: If you are not familiar with coloring hair, please take extensions to a professional colorist!! Our extensions are an excellent investment; you don't want to ruin the hair by over processing it with bleaches and dye. Always let a licensed professional color your bundles even if it as simple as applying a black semi-permanent rinse. Don't do it yourself.
Curly/Wavy Maintenance
The "Deepwave" Texture
For best Results: Co-wash the Brazilian (Deepwave) texture with cold water. Co-washing is a method to wash hair without using shampoo and washing with conditioner. When co-washing your hair, you should use a cleansing conditioner to wash the hair. Rinse the hair with cold water. Lay it flat to air dry and then install. This method will keep the curl pattern nice and tight. Hot or warm water will loosen the curl pattern
The "Tight Curly" Texture
You must apply a curl defining/curl control cream while the hair is wet. This way it will stop the hair from frizzing, getting big & poofy and lock in the wave or curl in the hair. It will give the hair a beautiful, soft, and tamed wet look while it's dry. Most people think that the curly hair is low maintenance but it requires the most upkeep and it needs to be wet EVERY SINGLE DAY so you can apply the curl defining crème.
Remember, the more heat that you use the harder it is to retract hair back to the natural curl or wave pattern.
