MAINTENANCE

Here you will learn how to care for your Rated i Collection extensions. Simply scroll down below to read some general maintenance tips and locate your texture and/or lace type.

© Copyright
  • Always Co-Wash your Rated i Collection extensions before installing.

  • Always remember to DETANGLE your Rated i Collection extensions.

  • Use a shampoo no higher than pH 7

  • Shampoo at least once a week

  • Before washing the hair, detangle from ends to roots before applying shampoo. We recommend you spray a mixture of conditioner and water and brush the hair from bottom up.

  • You can use a hair color bottle with shampoo and water solution to squeeze and clean between the wefts and scalp if it is installed.

  • Salon care is recommended but if you are shampooing at home, Shampoo hair in shower so hair falls straight, never dip over a sink!!

  • Smooth shampoo from root to ends in one direction.

  • When washing your hair, DO NOT pile the hair on top of your head or wash in circles. This creates tangles! Instead gently shampoo the hair in one direction (vertically) only.

  • Rinse your hair VERTICALLY ONLY

  • Apply conditioner to hair and brush hair with a large paddle brush, starting with the ends working your way up to your scalp. Deep condition when needed.

  • Rinse thoroughly, Squeeze out excess water and pat dry with towel, do not rub or twist the hair.

  • Air dry and style as recommended by your stylist.

  • SEAL YOUR WEFTS!!!!

  • NEVER SLEEP ON WET HAIR!! Make sure your Rated i collection extensions are completely dry before going to sleep. This applies for EVERY texture.

  • Avoid touching high heat tools on lace!

  • Do NOT scratch your frontal, it will cause balding!

  • Always air dry.

  • Do NOT boil your frontal!

  • If you want to tint the lace please use a powder foundation. **Try tinting your stocking cap to a color that is a half to one shade lighter than your skin.**

  • Vigorously combing, brushing, and plucking with tweezers can cause punctures and/or balding within the lace.

  • If you need to detangle hair on lace GENTLY start from the bottom and work your way up always remembering to firmly hold the hair ABOVE what you are detangling.

  • Avoid bleaching the knots of your frontal, chemicals can cause the knots and lace to weaken which may cause shedding.

  • If a bald spot has occurred, please locate a professional stylist who specializes in ventilation or re-ventilation to repair. However excessive balding can be avoided if knots are sealed properly and proper care is used.
