Hair Care 101

Maintain your mane! Wondering how to keep your hair lush for longer?

Here are all the hair care tips you need to keep your XO hair extensions and wig going the extra mile:

1. Wash Regularly

Create a wash day routine that suits you, just as you would with your own hair! If you're wearing your unit everyday, we'd suggest washing your unit after every use and if you're not doing much with it - every other week. Bonus: Dry your hair with a t-shirt not a towel, t-shirts have a smooth surface so drying hair that way prevents hair frizzing.

2. Detangle

Dentangle your hair with a wide tooth comb before and after washing. This helps to prevent the hair from getting tangled, helps to lift dirt and reduces shedding.

3. Use a Heat Protector

If there's one thing to follow, please let this be it. You NEED to protect your hair from heat prior to styling, especially if you're planning on using heat daily. This creates a barrier between the hair and the heat from the appliance you're using, without this you're exposing and damaging the hair.

4. Moisturise

As hair isn't attached to the scalp it'll need an extra shine boost. After wash day, moisturise your unit with a light oil serum whilst wet and use a light oil serum again after applying heat. Argan serums are the best as they help restore split ends, tame frizz and restore shine.

5. Brushing

The brush you use can either make or break your hair. Using a wide tooth comb to detangle and a bristle brush to style keeps your hair detangled, smooth and stops you from pulling hair at the roots which leads to frontal balding.
