(Note: - Read How to Prevent Shedding Before Installing
- We only suggest shampooing your extensions if the hair cuticles have an excessive amount of product build up causing the hair to be weighed down. Regularly shampooing can dry out the hair and strip it of its natural moisture. Be sure to use only sulfate free shampoo when cleansing and always follow it with a moisture conditioner
HOW TO PREVENT SHEDDING ON YOUR DYNASTY EXTENSIONS
All Extensions are subject to minimum shedding. However, chemically processing the hair, vigorously brushing, combing and constant wear/tear can cause the hair to shed more than normal. However, you can prevent shedding by implementing some of these tips.
- FOR WEFTED HAIR
TIP 1. RE-SEAL YOUR WEFTS- Before installing your hair, open and unravel the bundle of hair. Lay it flat across a nonstick surface such as counter top or table. Apply a weft sealant of your choice along the top of your wefted bundles. Applying sealant on one side should suffice, as most sealers seep through onto the other side. Allow sealant to completely dry before installing.
TIP 2. Do NOT cut your wefts. If so, use a weft sealer on each cut end.
- FOR LACE BASE EXTENSIONS I.E FRONTALS,CLOSURES,WIGS
TIP 1: Be very careful and gentle when handling lace base extensions Ex: Closures, Frontals and Wigs as the lace fabric is very delicate. Vigorously brushing, combing and plucking with tweezers can cause punctures within the lace.
TIP 2: Do not scratch your lace with foreign objects i.e rat-tail combs, bobby pins you will rip the lace.
TIP 3: Use a spray sealant such as Knot Seal to help minimize and prevent shedding.
