Care Guide

Your premium hair extensions are an investment in your beauty. Follow these care guidelines to maintain softness, shine, and longevity.

Because extension hair no longer receives natural oils from the scalp, proper home care is essential. The steps below will help you get the most out of your Cali Glamour Beauty extensions.

Step 1

Wash with Care

  • Always brush your hair thoroughly before washing to remove tangles
  • Use only a professional-grade, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner
  • Wash with lukewarm water using gentle, downward motions
  • Never scrub, twist, or pile the hair on top of your head while washing
  • Apply conditioner only from the mid-lengths to the ends — avoid the roots and attachment areas

Why avoid conditioner at the roots? Applying conditioner to the attachment areas can cause extensions to loosen over time. Always keep product away from the bonds or tape.

Step 2

Moisturize Daily

Apply a hairstylist-approved lightweight hair oil daily to the mid-lengths and ends to maintain softness, shine, and hydration. Avoid applying oil directly to the extension attachment points.

Daily hydration is essential. Because extension hair does not receive natural oils from your scalp, this step is one of the most important things you can do to keep your extensions healthy and beautiful.

Step 3

Brush Gently

  • Brush your extensions 2–3 times daily using an extension-safe brush
  • Always begin at the ends and work your way upward
  • Hold the hair near the attachment while brushing to prevent unnecessary tension
Step 4

Drying

  • Gently squeeze excess water from the hair using a microfiber towel — never rub the hair dry
  • Always ensure the attachment area is completely dry before going to bed
Step 5

Heat Styling

  • Always apply a heat protectant before using blow dryers or hot tools
  • Keep hot tools at or below 350°F (177°C) to preserve quality and longevity
  • Never use hot tools on wet or damp extension hair
Step 6

Deep Conditioning

  • Use a moisturizing deep conditioning mask every 2–4 weeks to restore moisture and softness
  • Apply treatments only from the mid-lengths to the ends, avoiding the attachment areas

Color Services

We do not recommend bleaching or lightening your extensions. If color adjustments are desired, they should only be performed by a licensed professional experienced with hair extensions.

Product Recommendations

What to Avoid

To protect the integrity of your extensions, avoid products that contain bond-building or protein-repair ingredients, including keratin treatments or similar strengthening technologies. While these products can benefit natural hair, they may leave buildup on extension hair, making it feel dry, stiff, or difficult to manage.

Always choose professional products recommended by your hairstylist that are designed for use on hair extensions.
