Luxury Sew-In Maintenance Routine
Keep your install looking fresh, seamless, and healthy with proper at-home maintenance. Consistent care helps protect your natural hair, maintain scalp health, and extend the life of your luxury install.
Recommended Longevity:
Maximum wear for your sew-in install is 2½ months. Exceeding this timeframe may lead to matting, excessive shedding and difficulty during removal.
1. Routine Cleansing
Clean hair and scalp are essential for healthy extensions and natural hair maintenance. Shampoo routinely to prevent buildup, odor, dryness, and irritation.
Recommended Care:
Shampoo every 1–2 weeks
Focus on cleansing the scalp thoroughly
Use sulfate-free, moisturizing products
Follow with a lightweight conditioner
Avoid heavy oils and excessive product buildup
2. Proper Drying Is Mandatory
Never allow your braids or foundation underneath the install to remain damp. Incomplete drying can lead to odor, mildew, scalp irritation, and matting.
Recommended Care:
Fully dry the foundation and tracks after every shampoo
Use a hooded dryer or blow dryer with indirect heat
Pay special attention to the nape and braided areas
Avoid air drying for extended periods
3. Daily Detangling Routine
Proper detangling prevents matting, shedding, and tangling while maintaining the longevity of your luxury hair extensions.
Straight & Wavy Textures
Detangle daily using a paddle brush or wide-tooth comb
Start from the ends and work upward
Apply lightweight serum if needed
Curly Textures
Detangle every 2–3 days
Use a wide-tooth comb or fingers
Lightly mist hair with water or leave-in conditioner before detangling
4. Nighttime Protection
Protecting your install at night helps maintain smoothness, reduce tangling, and preserve your style between appointments.
Night Routine:
Wrap hair nightly using a silk or satin scarf
Alternatively, place hair into loose pin curls
Sleep on a satin pillowcase for added protection
Never sleep with wet hair
