Washing Your Extensions
Pre-Wash Preparation
Gently detangle hair using wide-tooth comb. Apply light oil to ends if severely tangled.
Gentle Shampooing
Use sulfate-free shampoo. Wash in downward strokes, never scrub or tangle. Focus on cleansing the roots and scalp area.
Deep Conditioning
Apply moisturizing conditioner from mid-length to ends. Leave for 5-10 minutes for deep penetration.
Cool Water Rinse
Rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the cuticles and enhance shine.
Drying and Styling
Air Drying (Recommended)
- Gently squeeze out excess water with towel
- Apply leave-in conditioner or heat protectant
- Allow to air dry naturally
- Brush gently when 80% dry
- Best for maintaining hair health
Heat Styling
- Always use heat protectant spray
- Use lowest effective temperature (under 350°F)
- Blow dry on low heat with diffuser
- Use ceramic or tourmaline tools
- Limit heat styling to 2-3 times per week

Dryness
Use deep conditioner weekly, apply leave-in products daily, reduce heat styling, drink more water.

Weekly Wash Schedule by Extension Type
| Extension Type | Wash Frequency | Deep Condition | Professional Reset |
|---|---|---|---|
| Clip-in | Every 15–20 wears | Every wash | Not required |
| Tape-in | 2x per week max | Weekly (avoid roots) | Every 6–8 weeks |
| I-Tip / Nano-ring | 2–3x per week | Weekly | Every 8–10 weeks |
| K-Tip / Fusion | 2x per week max | Weekly | Every 10–12 weeks |

Water, pH & Product Chemistry
Ideal Water
Soft or filtered water (0–60 ppm). Hard water leaves mineral deposits that dull shine and cause dryness — install a shower filter if TDS exceeds 120 ppm.
Optimal pH
Shampoo pH 4.5–5.5 (slightly acidic) keeps the cuticle sealed. Alkaline shampoos (pH 7+) swell the cuticle and cause frizz. Check labels or test strips.
Protein / Moisture Balance
Alternate weekly: moisture mask one week, light protein (rice, keratin, silk) the next. Over-proteining causes brittleness; over-moisturizing causes limpness.
Clarifying Cadence
Monthly clarifying wash removes silicone and mineral buildup. Follow immediately with a deep conditioning mask to rehydrate.
Swimming, Sun & Environmental Protection
Chlorine (Pool)
Saturate hair with fresh water and leave-in conditioner before entering. Wear a swim cap when possible. Rinse and shampoo immediately after — chlorine oxidizes hair and turns blondes green.
Salt Water (Ocean)
Saline pulls moisture out of the cortex. Braid hair, use a UV-protection oil, and deep condition the same evening.
UV & Heat Exposure
Prolonged sun fades colored extensions and weakens keratin bonds. Apply UV-protection spray, wear scarves or hats during peak hours (11am–3pm).
Winter / Dry Climate
Low humidity causes static and breakage. Layer leave-in + argan oil + silk pillowcase. Run a bedroom humidifier when indoor humidity drops below 40%.
Coloring, Bleaching & Chemical Services
Virgin & raw grades (11A–14A): Safely lift up to level 9. Use 20 vol developer, low-ammonia lightener, and strand test first.
Remy 10A: Best kept within 2 levels of natural. Deposit-only color, semi-permanent, or gloss recommended.
Toners & glosses: Safe on all grades — refresh brassiness every 4–6 weeks with a purple or blue mask.
Bond builders: Add Olaplex No.1 & No.2 (or equivalent) to every lightener mix. Follow with No.3 weekly treatment.
Perming/keratin smoothing: Only on virgin/raw grades. Never combine bleach + perm within 6 weeks.

Hair Care FAQ
Can I use my regular shampoo on extensions?
Only if it is sulfate-, paraben-, and alcohol-free with a pH between 4.5 and 5.5. Most drugstore brands are too harsh.
Why do my extensions tangle at the nape?
Friction from clothing collars, seatbelts, and cotton pillowcases. Wear hair up, use a silk pillowcase, and apply leave-in to the nape section daily.
How do I stop shedding at the weft?
Seal the weft edge with a small line of weft-sealer glue. Never brush directly against the weft — always hold the base while combing from ends up.
Are Suvita extensions safe to swim in?
Yes — Remy and raw hair tolerate occasional swimming when properly prepped. Avoid daily chlorine exposure and always deep condition afterward.
Can I dye or bleach virgin bundles?
Virgin 11A+ handles bleaching up to level 9/10 with proper technique and bond builders. Strand-test first, and use a professional colorist.
What's the safest heat setting?
Fine hair: 300°F / 150°C. Medium: 330°F / 165°C. Coarse/raw: 350°F / 175°C. Never exceed 375°F — always with heat protectant.
Why has my hair turned brassy or dull?
Mineral buildup from hard water and sun oxidation. Use a chelating shampoo, then apply a purple mask (blonde) or blue mask (brunette) to neutralize warm tones.
