Keep Your Hair Looking Beautiful
Congratulations on your new Stina Hair Co. hair extensions! Our premium 100% Remy, double-drawn human hair is designed to look and feel luxurious with the proper care. Follow these tips to keep your extensions soft, healthy, and long-lasting.
Before Installation
-
Wash and thoroughly dry your natural hair before installation.
-
Have your extensions installed by a licensed or experienced professional whenever possible.
-
Never color, bleach, or chemically process your extensions unless performed by a professional.
Brushing
-
Brush your extensions 2–3 times per day using a loop brush or soft bristle extension brush.
-
Always support the hair near the attachment point while brushing.
-
Start at the ends and gently work your way upward to prevent pulling or tangling.
-
Never brush wet hair aggressively.
Washing
-
Wash your extensions every 15–20 wears, or as needed depending on product buildup.
-
Use a sulfate-free, moisturizing shampoo and conditioner.
-
Wash in a downward motion to prevent tangling.
-
Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
-
Avoid applying conditioner directly to tape tabs, beads, bonds, or wefts.
Drying
-
Gently pat your hair dry with a microfiber towel.
-
Avoid rubbing the hair vigorously.
-
Blow dry the attachment area completely before allowing the rest of the hair to air dry.
-
Never go to bed with wet extensions.
Heat Styling
-
Always use a heat protectant before using hot tools.
-
Keep styling tools below 350°F (175°C) whenever possible.
-
Avoid direct heat on bonds, tape tabs, beads, or weft stitching.
-
Human hair extensions hold curls beautifully, so excessive heat styling isn't necessary.
Sleeping
-
Brush your hair before bed.
-
Secure your hair in a loose braid, ponytail, or silk bonnet.
-
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and help prevent tangles.
Swimming & Exercise
-
Tie your hair into a braid or ponytail before swimming or exercising.
-
Wet your hair with clean water before entering a pool or the ocean.
-
Rinse and wash your extensions as soon as possible after swimming.
-
Sweat, chlorine, and salt water can dry out the hair if left untreated.

For the best results, we recommend:
-
Sulfate-free shampoo
-
Moisturizing conditioner
-
Leave-in conditioner
-
