STRAIGHT AND WAVY TEXTURES
What to Expect:
Your Lux Hair extensions will now be freshly co-washed before shipment. Due to transit, your hair may need some revival to restore its full beauty.
Pre-Installation:
-
Wash Before Installation: Always wash your hair extensions prior to installation leaving the zip ties intact.
Installation:
- Use the Over-and-Out Method: When installing, fold the weft in half to ensure the weft "beards" are inward and not touching the scalp.
- Avoid Piercing the Wefts: Piercing the wefts can lead to excessive shedding.
- Seal Wefts: Consider using a high-quality weft sealant for added durability.
- Cut Wefts Only When Necessary: To maintain the integrity of the weft, avoid cutting unless absolutely required.
Color Variations:
Due to the raw nature of your hair, variations in color and texture between bundles are normal.
Weekly Maintenance:
To keep your extensions looking and feeling their best:
- CoWash (Conditioner Only Wash): Recommended 2–3 times weekly to retain moisture and cleanse buildup that could cause matting or tangling.
- Deep Conditioning: Use a thick deep conditioner with smoothing properties for added moisture and frizz control.
Steps for the Ultimate CoWash Experience:
- Section Hair: Part into 7–10 sections before showering.
- Detangle: Using a wide-tooth comb or wavy hair brush, detangle from roots to tips.
- Saturate: Wet hair thoroughly.
- Apply Conditioner: Lather each section generously with conditioner and detangle with a detangling brush from ends to roots. Repeat 2–3 times for each section.
- Twist or Braid: Once detangled, twist hair into a bun or braid. Let conditioner sit for 15–20 minutes without massaging to avoid frizz.
-
Rinse: Rinse thoroughly, scrunching hair to enhance wave patterns if desired.
- Style: Apply a dime-sized amount of smoothing oil or glossing polish for frizz control. Allow hair to air dry.
For long-term care, use an intensive hair masque or hot oil treatment once a month or between installs.
Daily Care:
- Brush and Style: Comb through your hair and style as needed.
- Control Frizz: Apply an alcohol-free glossing polish or serum for shine and frizz control. Avoid excessive product use, as buildup can lead to stiffness and tangling.
- Protect from Heat: Use a heat protectant when styling. Keep in mind, frequent heat styling may alter the hair’s natural wave pattern, similar to your natural hair.
Bedtime Care:
- Before bed, tie hair into a high ponytail or bun to maintain the wave pattern.
- Protect with a satin scarf or bonnet to minimize frizz and flyaways.
- For extra bounce, use flexi-rods overnight. In the morning, remove protection and comb hair starting at the ends, working up to the roots.

To keep your extensions hydrated and frizz-free, we recommend the following products:
- Nexxus Humectress Ultimate Moisture Conditioner + Revitalisant
- Tresemmé Keratin Smooth Conditioner (ideal for combating frizz)
- Proclaim Glossing Polish

By following these guidelines, you’ll enjoy beautiful, long-lasting extensions that maintain their quality and enhance your natural look. Thank you for choosing Lux Lash and Hair!
CURLY TEXTURES
What to Expect:
Your Lux Hair extensions will now be freshly co-washed before shipment. Due to transit, your hair may need some revival to restore its full beauty.
Important Reminder:
- Avoid touching your dry curls: Running fingers through curly hair while dry can cause tangling and excess frizz.
- Why curly hair behaves differently: The perfect curl results from a balance of protein and moisture. Because curly hair is more porous, it tends to absorb humidity, leading to swelling, rough cuticles, and potential loss of curl pattern. Following a proper care regimen will help maintain its beauty and prevent tangling or matting.
Pre-Installation
-
Wash Before Installation: Always wash your extensions while leaving the zip ties intact.
Color Variations:
- Due to the raw nature of your hair, variations in color and texture are normal.
Installation
- Use the over-and-out method to ensure the weft "beards" face inward and avoid touching the scalp.
- Do not pierce the wefts, as this may cause excess shedding and reduce the longevity of your extensions.
- Cut only when necessary: Cutting wefts should be avoided to minimize shedding.
- You may seal your wefts with a high-quality sealant for added durability.
Maintenance Overview
For optimal results with curly hair, co-washing is a non-negotiable step and should be done at least 3 times per week.
CoWash Steps:
- Section Hair: Divide into 5–6 parts using hair clips before getting it wet.
- Wet Completely: Ensure each section is thoroughly saturated with water.
- Condition and Detangle: Apply conditioner to each section and detangle using a Denman or detangling brush, starting from the ends and working up to the roots.
-
Deep Condition: Leave the conditioner in for 15–30 minutes.
- For kinkier textures, leave a small amount of conditioner in when rinsing.
- For looser curls, rinse thoroughly to prevent weighing down the curls. Remove excess water.
-
Drying Options:
- Use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment until 60% dry to minimize frizz.
- Alternatively, allow your hair to air dry.
Important: While drying, avoid touching or manipulating the curls to prevent frizz.
