Keep Your Feather Crochet Human Hair Extensions Soft, Beautiful & Long-Lasting

Your Feather Crochet Human Hair Extensions are made from 100% human hair, which means they require regular care just like your natural hair. Proper maintenance will help preserve softness, shine, curl definition, and overall longevity.

Follow the care tips below to keep your hair looking its best from install to removal.

Daily Care Routine

1. Moisturize Regularly

Human hair extensions do not receive natural oils from your scalp, so keeping them moisturized is essential.

Recommended products:

• Lightweight leave-in conditioner

• Curl refresher spray

• Hair moisturizing mist

• Lightweight hair oil (argan oil or jojoba oil)

How to moisturize:

1. Lightly spray the hair with water.

2. Apply a leave-in conditioner evenly.

3. Seal moisture with a small amount of lightweight oil.

4. Focus on the mid-lengths and ends.

Avoid heavy products that can cause buildup and weigh down the hair.

2. Finger Detangle Daily

Curly and wavy textures benefit from regular detangling.

Best practice:

• Separate curls gently with your fingers.

• Start from the ends and work upward.

• Never pull aggressively.

• Detangle while the hair is slightly damp.

For tighter curl patterns, finger detangling is often better than using a brush.

3. Protect Hair Before Sleeping

Nighttime protection is one of the most important steps for maintaining your crochet hairstyle.

Before bed:

• Gather hair into a loose pineapple ponytail or braid.

• Cover with a satin bonnet.

• Or wrap with a silk scarf.

• Sleep on a satin pillowcase for added protection.

This helps reduce:

• Frizz

• Tangling

• Dryness

• Breakage

Weekly Maintenance

4. Cleanse the Hair & Scalp

Keeping your scalp clean promotes healthy hair underneath your protective style.

Recommended frequency:

Every 1–2 weeks.

How to wash:

1. Dilute shampoo with water.

2. Focus on cleansing the scalp.

3. Gently squeeze shampoo through the hair.

4. Rinse thoroughly.

5. Apply conditioner to the hair lengths.

6. Rinse with cool water.

Avoid rough scrubbing or twisting the hair.

5. Deep Condition for Extra Moisture

Human hair extensions benefit from occasional deep conditioning.

Steps:

1. Apply a moisturizing deep conditioner.

2. Leave on for 10–20 minutes.

3. Rinse thoroughly.

4. Allow hair to air dry whenever possible.

Deep conditioning helps maintain:

• Softness

• Elasticity

• Curl definition

• Shine

Curl Maintenance

6. Refresh Curls Between Washes

To revive curls and reduce frizz:

Mix in a spray bottle:

• Water

• Leave-in conditioner

Lightly mist the hair and reshape curls using your fingers.

Avoid over-saturating the hair.

7. Minimize Frizz

To keep curls smooth:

• Avoid excessive touching.

• Moisturize regularly.

• Protect hair at night.

• Use anti-frizz serum sparingly.

Frizz is normal over time, but proper care can significantly reduce it.

Heat Styling Guidelines

8. Use Heat Sparingly

Because Feather Crochet Hair is made from real human hair, it can be heat styled.

You may use:

• Curling irons

• Flat irons

• Blow dryers

• Hot combs

However:

• Always apply a heat protectant.

• Keep temperatures below 350°F (177°C) whenever possible.

• Avoid daily heat styling.

Excessive heat may shorten the lifespan of the hair.

Swimming & Vacation Care

9. Protect Hair While Swimming

Before swimming:

• Wet the hair with clean water.

• Apply a leave-in conditioner.

After swimming:

• Rinse immediately.

• Cleanse if exposed to chlorine or salt water.

• Reapply moisturizer.

This helps prevent dryness and tangling.
