Curly hair extensions are a luxurious and beautiful investment. To keep your curls looking their best and lasting as long as possible, proper care is essential. Follow this detailed aftercare guide to maintain the health, bounce, and definition of your extensions.

Washing & Conditioning
We recommend washing your curly extensions 2–3 times a week with a sulphate-free moisturising shampoo and conditioner. Always detangle the hair before washing to prevent knotting. Clean hair and extensions are crucial for avoiding product build-up and keeping the hair nourished.

Spray your hair thoroughly with water until soaking wet. Apply a leave-in treatment or argan oil to the ends before brushing. Work in small sections and gently detangle using a wide-tooth comb or our White Medium Bristle Brush, starting at the ends and moving upward while supporting the roots.

The White Medium Bristle Brush is designed to detangle gently while protecting both your natural strands and extensions, helping to minimize breakage and snagging.

To secure your hair extension warranty, use only WAVE Hair Extension Shampoo and Conditioner. Always wash in a downward motion and be gentle around the roots to avoid pulling or damaging the bonds.

Use lukewarm water—never hot—and rinse thoroughly to prevent residue build-up. Incomplete rinsing can cause stickiness, waxiness, or knots.

Finish with the WAVE Moisturising Conditioner, applied only to the mid-lengths and ends. For deep hydration, consider a curly hair-specific mask.

Tip: Let conditioner sit for 5–10 minutes before rinsing.

Drying & Styling
Ensure the roots of your hair extensions are completely dry after each wash. This is especially important for curly textures.

Apply heat protectant, then rough-dry the roots until 70–90% dry. Re-wet the mid-lengths and ends with a spray bottle, avoiding the roots.

Use sulphate-free and alcohol-free products to style. On towel-dried hair, apply the WAVE Argan Oil Serum, a leave-in conditioner, 20-in-1 spray, and a heat protectant. Air drying is preferred for curl definition, or use a diffuser on a low heat setting.

To maintain curls, use curl creams, mousses, or gels formulated for curly hair. Avoid parabens, silicones, and alcohol-based products. Refresh curls with a water and leave-in conditioner mix in a spray bottle. Seal moisture with a light oil such as argan or jojoba.

Never brush dry curls—it causes frizz and breakage.

Haircare Products We Recommend
• Gentle Cleanse Shampoo – removes product build-up

Sleeping Care
At night, loosely braid or twist your hair and secure with a silk scrunchie to avoid pulling or breakage. Wrap your hair in a silk or satin bonnet or scarf, or sleep on a silk pillowcase to protect both your natural hair and extensions.
