Did I buy some Good Hair or nahhh?

In the first 2 weeks you"ll know.

Whether you purchased virgin remy, remy, processed, or raw, hair extensions can sometimes be a gamble.

You know what they say, if it's too good to be true, it probably is.

If you pay $30 per bundle for "raw" hair....well it probably aint! Buying quality hair extensions is only 60% of the process to beautiful hair. The lifespan of your bundles also depends on how well you (or your stylist) maintain them.

Here are 8 key tips to make that weave last!

1. Don't spend $300+ on hair and then get a $25 install! (do I really need to explain that one?)

A properly installed weave gives you a great starting point

2. Go easy on the heat styling tools and always use a heat protectant spray

(keep that temp under 400 degrees)

3. Wrap your hair in a silk scarf or bonnet before bed

4. When washing remember the 3-2-1 Rule:

Co-Wash every 1 week. Deep-condition every 2, Shampoo every 3

5. Never go to bed with a wet weave. It can cause matting and a musty smell!

7. Have a pro color your extensions. If you've never done an ombre, this is not the time to expermiment!

8. Have your weave installed as a wig unit. This provides less wear on your extensions, and

allows you to remove them at your convenience.
