Having the right hair care routine and realistic expectations is essential to maintaining the beauty and longevity of your Ultimate Hair World extensions. Whether you're new to UHW or trying a new texture, this guide will help you protect your investment and enjoy long-lasting, beautiful hair.

GENERAL CARE

  • Gently detangle using a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush
  • Sulfate-free shampoo
  • Follow with a moisturizing conditioner 
  • When washing the hair, always wash it in a downward motion. Use your fingers in a horizontal motion between wefts to clean your scalp and a vertical motion to clean the hair extension. When rinsing, do the same to ensure all shampoo and conditioner residues are washed out.
  • Heat protectant is required
  • Max heat: 350°F
  • Before swimming, comb out any tangles.
  • Braid hair into two large braids
  • After swimming, undo the braid. Comb hair
  • Proceed with shampooing and conditioning

WIG CARE

  • To maintain the shape and quality of your wig, store it on a wig stand or mannequin head
  • We recommend shampooing every 4-5 wears
  • Always wash hair in a downward motion to avoid hair tangling
  • Never wash hair in a circular motion, as this can cause tangling

If you notice product buildup along the hairline or lace, gently rinse the area with a small amount of clarifying shampoo

For best results, use a moisturizing shampoo and conditioner that are free of sulfates and alcohol

CURLY & WAVY HAIR

  • It's recommended that you prewash your curly extensions with a moisturizing conditioner before installation
  • If you experience any tangling – before washing the hair, spray a mixture of conditioner and water, then brush the hair from bottom to top. Gradually wet the hair, then brush it gently before completely washing it.
  • Add a few braids or twists at night before bed
  • Refresh with water + leave-in conditioner
  • Define with curl cream or mousse
  • Air dry or diffuse on low heat

BRAIDING HAIR

Custom Blend Braiding Extensions are dyed; slight color bleeding may occur when the hair is wet (Recommend Washing hair before installation)

  • Protect hair nightly with a satin bonnet or scarf
  • Avoid heavy product buildup
