CCXI Beauty Extensions

• Prior to installation, it is optional to pre-wash the hair, since during the wefting process, it goes through gentle, but rigorous cleaning.
• CCXI Beauty Extensions should not be handled rigorously and should always be shampooed in a downward motion.
• When washing, it’s best to use gentle cleansing, sulfate-free shampoos on the hair to maintain the hair’s natural luster and to also moisturize the hair. Light conditioners that gently hydrate the hair, without weighing it down are preferred to the hair’s maintenance.
• Keep styling products to a minimum to prevent weighing down the hair.
• We suggest that you have your stylist trim the ends, especially if you plan on doing a lot of heat styling. Hot tools can contribute to split ends, thus shortening the life of your extensions.
• It is suggested that you visit your stylist regularly to have your hair and extensions shampooed, especially when wearing a sew-in installation. It is critical that hair is properly cleansed and dried.
• Avoid alcohol-based styling products, since alcohol can make the hair dry and cause tangling.

• Cold and extremely dry weather conditions can cause hair to appear brittle.

• Moisturize hair more frequently during cold & extremely dry weather conditions. Pure Argan Oil will assist in keeping the hair hydrated.

• Hair tends to swell when exposed to extreme heat and humidity, especially heavily textured hair such as those with a curl or wave pattern.

• Use a small amount of product to control and define the texture.

• It may be necessary to deep condition more frequently during high heat & humidity conditions.

• It is not recommended that you swim with extension hair, as chlorine and salt water is damaging to the hair. However, if you do, the following precautions are recommended:

  • Comb or brush through hair

  • Apply a leave-in conditioner to hair to act as a protective layer

  • Braiding hair may help to prevent possible tangling

  • Afterwards, thoroughly shampoo & condition hair

 

PLEASE NOTE: Exposure to the sun may cause a slight change in color in both natural and chemically colored hair.

• In order to preserve style, hair should be wrapped, braided, twisted, rolled or pin curled according to the texture to prevent tangling.

• Never sleep on loose, wet hair.

• Cotton pillow cases can dry out the hair. We recommend you sleep wearing a satin scarf or bonnet.

When installing wefted extensions with a needle, it is recommended that you sew around the weft rather than through. Putting a needle through the weft will weaken the structure over time and cause shedding.

• Straightens easily with flat iron.
• Texture allows for long-lasting curls.
• Returns to its original wave pattern after every shampoo and condition.

To define waves:

• Use paddle brush to detangle wet hair
• Distribute product evenly
• Scrunch
• Allow to air dry or use diffuser for more volume.

NOTE: Handling CCXI Beauty Extensions during the drying process can cause frizziness, as it would your natural hair. If a fuller look is desired, wait until hair is completely dry to manipulate
