MICROLINK WASH DAY

• Use a sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfate strips hair of natural oils, as there is no direct supply of nutrients from your scalp into the extension strands. This will avoid drying out the extensions.
• To avoid damaging the hair extensions, the cuticles and your scalp, only wash with warm water. 
• Wash the hair gently in a downward motion with your palms, do not scrub or bunch the hair together as this will cause open cuticles to rub against each other causing friction.
• Rinse between each wash, and wash only 1-2 times. While wet, add sulfate-free Conditioner and brush into hair extensions. This will penetrate the cuticles and add moisture to hair extensions. (Only use c

•  our detangler brush click here or your fingers) 
• Rinse with cold water, this is known as an Arctic Rinse. it will close the cuticles to lock the moisture and nutrients from the oil in, leaving you with nutrient-rich hair extensions.
• Lastly, air-dry.

MICROLINK MAINTENANCE RULES

• Treat your hair extensions with delicacy, extra care and time! exactly as you would your natural hair. Maintenance is very necessary and is the key to the longevity of your hair extensions. 
• Detangle your hair frequently. Hold your hair extensions at the roots whilst brushing from ends to root and only use our detangler brush click

• Deep condition at least once a week
• Co-wash your hair before installing
• Avoid wearing your hair extensions in ponytails for the first week of installing as they will put too much tension on your scalp
• Put your hair in a protective style (for example, x6 twists or braids) and wear a scarf or a bonnet every night without fail! You can purchase our high-quality bonnets here
• Only use natural hair approved products/brands. You can check for approved products on the "think dirty" app and only use sulphate-free products.
• Avoid applying excessive heat and when doing so always use heat protection spray 
• Microlinks must be maintained and retightening as suggested every 4 weeks to avoid matting and breaking. This also ensures your hair will grow during the install and will last longer.
