How to care for your Taylor’D Hair ❤️

Investing in high-quality hair extensions is an exciting way to enhance your look, but proper care is key to ensuring their longevity. At Taylor’D Studio, we take pride in offering premium, reusable extensions—but how long they last depends on how well you care for them. Follow these expert tips to keep your Taylor’D Hair Extensions looking flawless for as long as possible!

1. Wash with Care

Your extensions don’t receive natural oils from the scalp like your real hair, so they need gentle cleansing to avoid dryness.

✔ Use a sulfate-free, alcohol-free shampoo to prevent stripping moisture.

✔ Gently cleanse your scalp and extensions, avoiding rough scrubbing.

✔ Apply conditioner only from mid-length to ends—never on the bonds or wefts.

✔ Wash your hair no more than 2-3 times per week to prevent excess dryness.

Pro Tip: Use lukewarm water instead of hot water to prevent unnecessary stress on the extensions.

2. Hydrate & Moisturize

Since extensions don’t produce their own natural oils, hydration is crucial.

✔ Use a lightweight leave-in conditioner or hair oil to keep the ends soft.

✔ Avoid heavy products near the roots, as they can weaken bonds or loosen wefts.

✔ Deep condition once a week to maintain smoothness and prevent tangling.

Pro Tip: Stick to lightweight, non-greasy products to avoid buildup that could shorten the lifespan of your extensions.

3. Brushing & Detangling

Tangles and knots are the biggest enemies of long-lasting extensions. Be gentle!

✔ Use a loop brush or wide-tooth comb to detangle, starting from the ends.

✔ Brush before washing and before bed to prevent matting.

✔ Hold your hair at the root while brushing to avoid pulling on the extensions.

Pro Tip: Keep a small detangling brush with you for quick touch-ups throughout the day!

4. Heat Styling the Right Way

Heat can be a great tool, but too much can cause damage to both your natural hair and extensions.

✔ Always use a heat protectant spray before styling.

✔ Keep styling tools below 350°F (180°C) to avoid burning or drying out the hair.

✔ Never apply direct heat to the bonds or weft attachment points.

Pro Tip: Try heatless styling methods, like braids or rollers, for curls without damage!

5. Sleeping with Extensions

How you sleep with your extensions makes a huge difference in their lifespan.

✔ Braid your hair or tie it in a loose ponytail before bed to prevent tangling.

✔ Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and dryness.

✔ Never go to bed with wet hair—it leads to matting and breakage.

Pro Tip: A silk bonnet can also protect your extensions while you sleep!

6. Avoiding Damage

Extensions need a little extra care to stay looking fresh and full.

✔ Avoid excessive pulling or tugging when styling.

✔ Keep alcohol, sulfate, and silicone-based products away from the attachment points.

✔ If swimming in chlorine or salt water, wear a swim cap or rinse your hair immediately afterward.

Pro Tip: If you’re spending time in the sun, apply a UV protectant spray to prevent color fading.

7. Regular Maintenance & Reinstallation

To maximize the wear of your Taylor’D Hair Extensions, regular maintenance is key.

✔ Schedule touch-ups every 6-8 weeks to keep your extensions secure and looking fresh.

✔ For keratin bonds, professional removal and reinstallation are crucial to prevent damage.

✔ For Genius Wefts, maintenance appointments are needed to move them up as your natural hair grows.

Pro Tip: Never try to remove keratin bonds or sewn-in wefts at home—always see a professional for safe removal!
