Hair Care Guide
To ensure the longevity of your crochet hair extensions, kindly follow these recommended guidelines. It is of upmost importance to ensure proper maintenance to keep the hair fresh and to prevent any discomfort, buildup or an itchy scalp.
Firstly, a list of suggested items:
- Spray bottle
- Soft bristle brush
- Silk / Satin bonnet or scarf
- Sulfate-free shampoo
- Lightweight leave-in conditioner
- Lightweight oil e.g. argan, jojoba
- Mousse / Styler for curl definition and to prevent flyaways
Care routine – Daily:
- Using a spray bottle, damp the hair, by gently spraying with water
- Carefully separate each strand, by running your hands through the hair
- Apply a small amount of mousse / styler to the hair
- Style to your preference, using either your hands, a soft bristle brush or a curl defining brush (be gentle). If required for your edges, use the edge brush included in your complimentary Mia Mira hair kit!
- Before sleeping, loosely twist your hair into 2-4 sections and use a silk / satin bonnet for protection against dehydration and tangling of the hair. Alternatively, tie your hair up in a pineapple and use a silk /satin scarf.
Care routine – Weekly:
- Detangle the hair twice a week. Firstly, damp the hair using the spray bottle then divide the hair into smaller parts. Use either your fingers or a soft bristle brush and gently brush the hair from the tip to the root.
- Maintain moisture and prevent dehydration by applying a lightweight leave-in conditioner twice a week maximum, to avoid buildup.
Care routine – Bi-weekly (every 2 weeks):
- Clean the scalp using sulfate- free shampoo / dry shampoo. Gently massage and pat dry scalp.
- Wash the crochet hair extensions using sulfate-free shampoo, by gently scrunching the hair (sectioning the hair should help) avoid heavy scrubbing.
