Hair grippers are an essential tool for anyone looking to keep their hair neat and tidy during styling and cutting processes. They work by gently and securely gripping the hair, preventing flyaways and keeping the hair in place. This allows you to focus on creating clean, precise sections while avoiding the frustration of hair getting in the way.
How to use:
Ensure your section is tidy and free of tangles
Starting at the root, attach the velcro gripper and pull it up the hair shaft. This will keep shorter strands in place and prevent them from interfering with your application
When you're ready to remove the gripper, first release the clip holding the section in place. Then, gently pull the velcro gripper up the hair, away from the root and towards the ends. Avoid yanking it off, as this could damage the hair.
To prevent tangling, matting, and shedding:
1. Brush Often: Gently brush extensions before and after use, starting from the ends. Avoid brushing when wet; use fingers to detangle instead.
2. Use the Right Products: Opt for sulfate- and alcohol-free products designed for dry/damaged hair. Look for moisturising ingredients like argan or coconut oil.
3. Moisturise Regularly: Apply lightweight serums or oils weekly from mid-shaft to ends. Avoid overuse to prevent buildup.
4. Hydrate Extensions: Wash less frequently and use sulfate-free conditioners. Rinse with cold water to lock in moisture. For deep hydration, use masks or oil treatments (e.g., coconut oil) overnight, then rinse thoroughly.
5. Check Ingredients: Avoid products with sulfates (SLS, Sodium Lauryl Sulfate) or drying alcohols (Alcohol denat, Ethanol).
By following these steps, you’ll keep extensions soft, manageable, and long-lasting.
Ultimate Hair Extensions Care Guide
Proper care is essential to keep your hair extensions looking smooth, shiny, and long-lasting. Whether you have clip-ins, tape-ins, sew-ins, or keratin bond extensions, follow these tips to maintain their quality.
1. Washing Your Extensions
-
Frequency: Wash every 15-20 wears (or 1-2 weeks for permanent extensions) to prevent drying out.
-
Shampoo: Use a sulfate-free, moisturising shampoo to avoid stripping natural oils.
-
Conditioner: Apply a hydrating conditioner from mid-length to ends, avoiding the roots (especially for tape-ins or bonds).
-
Water Temperature: Use lukewarm water—hot water can weaken bonds and cause tangling.
-
Technique: Gently cleanse in a downward motion—never scrub or twist.

3. Brushing & Detangling

-
Technique: Start from the ends and work your way up to prevent pulling.
-
Frequency: Brush 2-3 times daily to prevent tangles (especially before bed).
4. Sleeping with Extensions
-
Braids or Loose Ponytail: Secure hair in a low braid or loose bun to reduce friction.
-
Silk/Satin Pillowcase: Prevents tangling and breakage.
5. Protecting Extensions Daily
-
Avoid Chlorine & Saltwater: Wear a swim cap or coat hair with conditioner before swimming.
-
Oil & Product Buildup: Avoid heavy oils near bonds/tape to prevent slippage.

-
Fusion/Keratin Bonds: Maintenance every 10-12 weeks.

Keep in a Cool, Dry Place: Store in a satin pouch or storage bag to prevent dust and tangles.
Final Tips:
- Avoid alcohol-based products (dries out hair).
- Schedule regular trims (every 2-3 months) to prevent split ends.
- If bonds feel loose, visit your stylist—don't try to remove them yourself.
By following these steps, your extensions will stay soft, tangle-free, and beautiful for months!
Dying Hair Extensions Disclaimer.
Results may vary with different brands and types of hair extensions and dyes. We cannot be held responsible for any issues that may occur during or after the dying/toning process as the reaction and application methods may vary. To ensure desired results, it is recommended to test the dye/toner on a small piece of hair before fully committing to the process.
Dying/toning can be a drastic change as the chemicals involved can negatively affect the texture, quality, and longevity of the extensions. The product may experience increased dryness, shedding, tangling, and breakage. Our hair extensions undergo a rigorous dying and bleaching process to achieve their stunning shades.
