• Sleep in a loose braid or low ponytail.

Recommended care
The extensions do not regenerate on their own, so they require constant moisturizing.
• Moisturizing masks 1–2 times a week. • Protective oils for ends. • Light smoothing serum. • Professional salon treatments.

Correction of hair extensions
Natural hair grows approximately 1–1.5 cm per month, so regular corrections are necessary.
When to do a pull-up? • Every 1.5–4 months (depending on the condition of your hair). • When the joints start to shift. • When your hair becomes more difficult to comb at the roots.

No. Sleeping with wet hair extensions causes tangling, weakening the bonds, and faster damage to the extensions. Always dry your hair thoroughly before bed.
No. Cosmetics containing alcohol can dry out hair extensions and weaken their structure. Choose moisturizing Hollywood Hair products without alcohol or harsh detergents.
It's not recommended to apply masks or conditioners directly to the extensions. This can cause them to slip and shorten the lifespan of the extensions. Apply care products from the mid-lengths of the hair.
Not having regular touch-ups is a common mistake. Hair extensions should be adjusted every 1.5–4 months, depending on the growth rate of your natural hair and the extension method.
Yes. Excessive backcombing at the roots can weaken the bonds and cause hair extensions to tangle. Avoid lifting hair too much at the roots.
