Hair Care

Washing: use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner in cool water. Stroke downward through the length and never bunch or scrub near the weft. Conditioning: condition mid-length to ends only, leave three to five minutes, rinse cool, and keep product use light so the hair is not weighed down. Drying & heat: press water out with a cotton t-shirt and air-dry where possible; always use heat protectant and stay under 180°C — one pass is usually enough. Styling: BioSilk helps maintain a smooth, shiny finish — a small amount through the lengths is enough. Can be curled and returned to straight with heat.

Washing: use a moisturising shampoo and conditioner in cool or lukewarm water, working gently downward through the lengths. Conditioning & detangling: apply conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends and detangle gently while damp, from the ends upward. For extra moisture and wave maintenance, use Umberto Giannini Curl Jelly Smoothie Leave-In Anti-Frizz Curl Treatment on damp hair. Drying & heat: scrunch excess water out with a cotton t-shirt and air-dry where possible; always use heat protectant if styling with heat. Styling: for frizz and shine use a small amount of Umberto Giannini Frizz Oil, and to enhance the wave pattern use Umberto Giannini Beach Jelly Coconut Oil Scrunching Jelly on damp hair.

Washing: wash every 6 to 8 wears, sooner with heavy product use. Shampoo the wefts and roots and let the suds run through the length, working in two or three sections. Conditioning & detangling: detangle only when wet and loaded with conditioner, using fingers or a wide-tooth comb from the ends upward. Aunt Jackie’s MANE-TENANCE and Mielle Rosemary Mint Blend Strengthening Leave-In Conditioner on damp hair help maintain moisture and curl definition. Drying & heat: scrunch water out with a cotton t-shirt and air-dry, or diffuse on low — never brush dry curls, and keep heat under 180°C with protectant. Styling: reverts with water and blends with natural curls without heat; expect two to four inches of shrinkage when worn natural.

01 Overnight: braid loosely or twist and cover with a satin bonnet or pillowcase — friction, not styling, is what shortens the life of good hair. 02 Storage: between installs, wash, dry fully and store flat in the bag it arrived in; never store damp. 03 Frontals & closures: treat lace gently — cleanse around the hairline, avoid pulling on the knots, and remove adhesive fully before washing so the lace stays soft.
