Micro Links/Bonds

Only use non-oily shampoos and styling aids as generally any oil loosens the bond. Use a non tipped brush (Denman Brush) and avoid brushing or combing directly onto the bond.

Do not use heat appliances on roots to style or dry the hair as this will loosen the bond. Just use medium heat from a Hair Dryer.

Curly & Wavy Hair - In general, the curlier the hair the more maintenance is required. The waves and curls may eventually become straight over time.

Avoid using chemicals such as bleaching products to lighten hair!
