hair%20care_edited.png

1. Keep your hair extensions clean and untangled by taking time to care for them every day.

​

2. Do not aggressively comb or brush your hair extensions when they are wet. 

​

3. Never sleep with wet hair extensions. Always make sure the hair is dry and pulled up or braided to keep the hair from tangling at night.

​

4. Brush your extensions several times a day. Be sure to brush properly, holding the roots to prevent pulling on the tabs/wefts.

​

5.  Use a high quality sulfate free shampoo and conditioner to keep the tabs from slipping and the hair extensions in good condition.

​

6. Never lighten the hair extensions.

​

7.  When using heat tools be sure to use a heat protectant spray. The more heat tools you use heat on your hair, the shorter the life-span of the hair extensions.

​

8. Do not use a flat iron directly on the tape tabs (if you wear tape-ins). This will weaken the tabs and they will slip out.

​

9. Exercising with hair extensions will not damage your extensions.

​

10. Avoid excessive chlorine exposure as it can dry out and damage the hair extensions. Occasional chlorine exposure is okay.

​

11. When using conditioner, condition from mid-shaft to ends only. Do not apply conditioner to your scalp when wearing hair extensions.

​

12. Rita Hair is real human hair and will get split ends just like your hair does. It is recommended to trim the hair.

​

13. Every 6-12 weeks, your hair extensions will need to be reapplied to move the bonds closer to the scalp and to keep your hair healthy.
