Drying, Brushing & Heat Styling Weft Extensions

Drying, in order

1. Press water out with a microfiber towel — never wring or twist.
2. Spray a leave-in conditioner and heat protectant through damp lengths. A treatment oil from mid-shaft to ends is recommended.
3. Rough-dry with a blow dryer until most of the drip is gone. Focus on the root and the weft attachment first, on medium heat.
4. Once the hair is roughly 85% dry, take a brush in and finish drying and smoothing the lengths.

If you feel tension at the root or the hair starts to tangle while you brush, stop. Go back to rough-drying the root area. Pulling on wet ends while there's still tension at the weft is a quick way to loosen rows.

Brushing morning and night

• Use a boar or nylon bristle brush — soft enough to glide over the wefts.
• Start at the ends and work your way up toward the scalp, one section at a time.
• Secure the hair near the weft with one hand while you detangle below it, so there's never tension on the point of attachment.
• Brush before bed and before washing — a brushed head tangles far less in both the pillow and the shower.

Heat tools (with a protectant, always)

Your extensions are safe with curling wands, flat irons and waving tools — but only with a heat protectant combed through evenly first. Setting depends on your natural hair, but 270–450°F is the safe window for the extensions themselves once the protectant is applied.
