HAIR CARE
Our high-quality extensions are designed for long-lasting wear with proper care. Follow these tips to ensure your Chateau Strands hair remains soft, vibrant, and beautiful for years to come.
Daily Maintenance
- Gentle Detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush to gently detangle, starting from the ends and moving up to the roots.
- Minimize Heat Styling: Limit the use of hot tools to protect the natural texture and longevity. Always use a heat protectant when heat styling.
- Hydrate Lightly: Keep your extensions looking fresh by applying a small amount of leave-in conditioner or light serum, avoiding heavy products that cause buildup.
Washing & Conditioning Routine
- Shampoo Gently: Wash your extensions every 1-2 weeks with a sulfate-free shampoo to maintain moisture and prevent dryness.
- Condition for Softness: After shampooing, apply a rich conditioner from mid-length to the ends, leaving it on for a few minutes to soften and hydrate.
- Deep Conditioning: Treat your extensions to a deep conditioner or mask once a month, especially if you use heat or style frequently.
Drying Recommendations
- Air Dry Whenever Possible: Let your extensions air dry to reduce heat exposure and help them retain their natural luster.
- If Blow-Drying: Use a cool or low setting and avoid tugging on the hair. Pat gently with a microfiber towel to remove excess water.
Styling Tips
- Use Heat Sparingly: If using curling irons or straighteners, keep the heat setting low and use a thermal protectant.
- Choose Alcohol-Free Products: Avoid drying out your extensions with alcohol-based products. Look for moisturizing, alcohol-free styling aids.
- Low-Tension Styles: Loose styles help maintain the wefts and avoid unnecessary strain on the extensions.
Storage
When not in use:
- Store in Silk or Satin Bags: Protect the hair from friction by storing it in a satin or silk bag.
- Avoid Humidity: Keep extensions in a dry, cool area to maintain their quality.
Coloring & Chemical Treatments
Chateau Strands extensions are unprocessed Indian hair and can be safely dyed, but we recommend professional coloring for the best results. Be aware that chemical treatments can impact the longevity of the hair.
Bedtime Routine
- Avoid Sleeping with Wet Hair: Make sure your hair is fully dry before bed to prevent tangling.
- Protect with Satin: Use a silk or satin pillowcase or wrap to reduce friction and maintain smoothness.
Additional Tips for Longevity
- Brush Daily: Gently brush your extensions each day to keep them smooth and tangle-free.
- Sleep with a Silk Scarf or Bonnet: Wrapping your hair at night reduces tangles and keeps the hair soft.
- Avoid Harsh Handling: Handle extensions gently, especially at the wefts, to prevent shedding.
