Here are some tips to help you care for and style yourI-Tip hair extensions effectively to ensure they last and look great:
Caring for I-Tip Extensions
1. Brushing:
- Use a loop brush or a soft-bristle brush designed for hair extensions to avoid pulling on the beads.
- Brush gently, starting at the ends, working up to the roots, and holding the hair at the base to prevent tension on the extensions.
2. Washing:
- Use sulfate-free, extension-safe shampoos and conditioners to maintain the integrity of the extensions.
- Avoid applying conditioner or oily products near the beads to prevent slippage.
- Wash your hair in a downward motion to avoid tangling.
3. Drying:
- Pat your hair dry with a towel instead of rubbing it.
- Blow-dry on a low to medium heat setting, focusing on drying the beads and roots completely to avoid moisture buildup.
4. Sleeping:
- Tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling while sleeping.
- Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.
5. Regular Maintenance:
- Visit your stylist every 6–8 weeks for bead adjustments as your natural hair grows.
- Replace the extensions if they show signs of wear after prolonged use.
Styling I-Tip Extensions
1. Heat Styling:
- I-Tip extensions are heat-friendly, but avoid applying heat directly to the beads.
- Use a heat protectant spray to shield both your natural hair and the extensions from damage.
2. Curling or Straightening:
- Style the extensions as you would your natural hair, but be gentle when using tools near the beads.
- Section your hair carefully to avoid pulling on the beads while styling
