Textured Extensions Q&A

How often should the textured extensions be washed?

Textured extensions should typically be washed every 2-3 weeks, depending on the client's lifestyle and how much product they use. It's crucial not to over-wash, as that can dry out the extensions and strip them of moisture. Always focus on keeping them hydrated with a nourishing leave-in conditioner between washes.

Should different maintenance products be used for Textured Wavy vs Textured Curly to ensure longevity?

Yes, different products are recommended to maintain the integrity of each texture. Textured Wavy extensions generally benefit from lighter, moisture-rich products that enhance wave definition without weighing it down. For Textured Curly, you’ll want richer, more hydrating formulas to help with curl definition and frizz control. Be sure to use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to prevent dryness.

Do the textured extensions have a shorter lifespan than other weft options?

No, textured extensions typically have the same lifespan as other weft options, but like all hair, they require proper maintenance. The key to longevity is maintaining hydration and avoiding excessive heat and chemical treatments that can damage the hair.

What products are recommended to prevent or remedy hair frizz from textured options?

For frizz control, we recommend a good quality anti-frizz serum or a leave-in conditioner designed for curly/wavy textures. Look for products with natural oils like argan, jojoba, or coconut oil to lock in moisture without weighing the hair down. A curl cream is also fantastic for keeping the curls defined and frizz-free.

Will the Textured extensions maintain their curly pattern if they are straightened?

If straightened, the curl pattern can be temporarily lost, but it’s important to note that the texture can revert back to its natural curl pattern once wet. However, frequent straightening may compromise the longevity of the curl pattern, so I would advise minimal heat styling for best results.

Can textured wefts be used on clients with low to slightly textured hair while still achieving an optimal blend?

Absolutely! Textured wefts can blend beautifully with low to slightly textured hair, especially if you choose a texture that’s close to your client's natural pattern. The key is selecting the right texture and doing a proper blend and install to ensure it looks seamless and natural.

What is the best sleep recommendation/regimen for Textured options to prevent matting/tangling?

To preserve the texture and avoid tangling, I recommend clients wear a satin or silk scarf, bonnet, or use a satin pillowcase. Additionally, loosely braid or twist the hair before bed to prevent excessive friction and maintain the curls or waves.

Can the textured wavy and textured curly options be blended without causing matting and tangling?

 Do the textured extensions require a different conditioning regimen from straight hair options?

Yes, textured extensions generally require more intense moisture and conditioning treatments than straight hair options. Curly and wavy textures benefit from rich, hydrating conditioners and leave-in treatments that help define and maintain the texture without frizz or dryness.

Do the textured extensions carry the same expected 1-year lifespan?

Yes, with proper care, textured extensions typically last up to a year, just like other weft types. However, the lifespan can be affected by the level of maintenance, the amount of heat styling, and how well the extensions are taken care of.

What products are to be avoided while using the Textured extensions?

Avoid products that contain sulfates, alcohols, or silicones, as they can dry out and damage the hair. These ingredients can strip the extensions of moisture, leading to frizz and reduced lifespan. Also, steer clear of heavy oils that can cause build-up and weigh the extensions down.

Are textured extensions recommended for non-ethnic clients?

Absolutely! Textured extensions are versatile and can be worn by clients of all hair types. They are especially great for clients looking for volume, length, or a natural textured look. The key is to choose the right texture and color to blend seamlessly with the client’s natural hair.
