HAIR CARE GUIDES

To ensure that your extensions remain beautiful and maintain their curl pattern, it's essential to follow a proper care routine. Below are detailed instructions on how to care for your Burmy hair extensions to keep them looking fabulous for as long as possible.

 

***IMPORTANT: Read Before Installing Your Burmy Hair Extensions***

​

While our Burmy Curly Hair Extensions can be straightened and colored, we recommend minimizing heat styling and color processing to maintain the natural curl definition and overall health of the hair. Just like curly hair growing out of your scalp, these extensions will look their best with limited exposure to heat and chemicals.

 

To keep your Burmy Curly extensions looking their best, we suggest using protective styles such as twist-outs, braids, or bantu knots. These styles help preserve the curls and reduce the need for heat styling.

 

If you choose to use heat tools to straighten or curl your extensions, we STRONGLY encourage the use of a heat protectant. Additionally, visiting a professional hair care expert for these processes is highly recommended to avoid potential damage. The same advice applies if you decide to color process your extensions. Professional assistance ensures the proper techniques are used, preserving the integrity of the hair.

 

Remember that detangling or combing should only be done on wet or damp hair extensions. Attempting to detangle dry hair improperly can cause breakage, tangling, and damage to the hair strands.

​

Following these guidelines will help you enjoy your Burmy Hair Extensions for a longer period while keeping them vibrant and healthy.

 

 

​

Maintaining Hydration:

 

1. Hydration is Key: Curly hair requires ample hydration to maintain its bounce and luster. Begin by dampening your hair with water.

​

2. Apply Leave-In Conditioner: After dampening your hair, apply a generous amount of leave-in conditioner from roots to ends. This will help lock in moisture and keep your curls nourished.

​

3. Follow with Mousse: Once the leave-in conditioner is applied, follow up with a lightweight Curl-Defining mousse specifically formulated for curly hair. The mousse will provide additional hydration and help define your curls.

 

​

Detangling Process:

 

1. Gentle Detangling: To prevent excess shedding and breakage, it's essential to detangle your BURMY hair gently. Begin by holding the hair at the weft and detangle starting from the ends, working your way up to the weft.

​

2. Use a Wide-Tooth Comb or Fingers: Opt for a wide-tooth comb or your fingers to detangle your curls. This will help minimize breakage and ensure a smooth detangling process.

​

Combing Technique:

When combing your hair extensions, always start from the bottom and work your way up towards the roots to prevent breakage and minimize tangling.

​

​

Styling and Drying:

 

1. Section Your Hair: After detangling, divide your hair into manageable sections. This will make styling easier and ensure that each curl gets the attention it needs.

​

2. Two-Strand Twists: Take each section of hair and create

two-strand twists. 

Aim for 10-14 twists, depending on the thickness of your hair and the desired curl pattern.

​

3. Air Dry or Use a Diffuser: Allow your hair to air dry naturally for a more defined curl pattern. Alternatively, if you're short on time or want extra definition, use a blow dryer with a diffuser attachment. Set the dryer to a low or medium heat setting to prevent heat damage.

​

 

How to Define Curls & Minimize Frizziness:

 

Pineapple Your Hair at Night: To preserve your curls overnight and minimize frizz, try "pineappling" your hair.

Gather your curls loosely at the top of your head and secure them with a satin scrunchie or hair tie.

 

This will help maintain your curl pattern while you sleep.

 

Avoid Over-Handling: Refrain from touching your curls excessively, as this can disrupt the curl pattern and cause frizz. Instead, allow your curls to air dry or use a diffuser on a low heat setting to dry them gently.

 

Use a Silk or Satin Pillowcase/Bonnet: Sleeping on a silk/satin pillowcase or utilizing a Silk/Satin Hair Bonnet can help to prevent friction and reduce frizz while you sleep.

These fabrics are gentler on your hair compared to cotton, which can cause friction and lead to frizz.

 

Apply a Hair Oil or Serum: To add shine and further reduce frizz, apply a dime-size amount of hair oil or serum to your curls.

Focus on the mid-lengths and ends of your hair, avoiding the roots to prevent greasiness.

 

Refresh Curls with a Water-Based Spray: Throughout the day, if your curls start to lose their definition, refresh them with a water-based curl revitalizing spray.

Simply mist your curls lightly and scrunch them gently to revive their shape.

 

Use Anti-Frizz Products: Consider using anti-frizz products, such as serums or creams, to tame frizz and flyaways.

Apply a small amount to your palms and lightly scrunch the product into your curls.

 

​

​

Regular Maintenance:

Refresh Curls Between Washes: To revive your curls between washes, use a mixture of water and leave-in conditioner in a spray bottle. Lightly mist your hair, scrunching as you go, to rejuvenate your curls.

 

Protective Styling: Consider protective styles, such as braids or twists, to give your curls a break from manipulation and styling. This can help maintain the health and integrity of your hair in the long run.

 

​

By following these care instructions and incorporating them into your hair care routine, you can ensure that your BURMY hair stays hydrated, defined, and frizz-free, allowing you to flaunt your beautiful curls with confidence.
