How to properly care for your BLVD Hair Extensions : Straight & Wavy Bundles

Straight & Wavy Bundles: Your Ultimate Care Guide

Maintaining the beauty and longevity of your Straight and Wavy bundles starts with the right care routine and realistic expectations. At BLVD, we’re committed to ensuring you feel confident and supported, whether you’re new to raw hair extensions or exploring a fresh texture. This detailed guide will help you care for your Straight/Wavy textures, Curly textures, and our luxurious Lace products, so your investment brings you joy with every wear.

Because BLVD extensions are made from raw human hair, they behave much like your natural hair. This means they require specific care and attention to stay healthy and vibrant. Neglecting this care can lead to results that fall short of your expectations, so we’ve worked hard to make this process as straightforward as possible.

We also understand how challenging it can be to find the right products and techniques. That’s why we’ve tested various brands and methods to curate recommendations tailored to BLVD hair. With this knowledge, you’ll be able to enjoy long-lasting, gorgeous extensions.

Pre-Installation Tips

Before installation, always wash and condition your hair extensions while keeping the zip-ties intact. This step ensures you can inspect the bundles for quality. Should you notice any irregularities, please contact us immediately so we can resolve them promptly.

Installation Recommendations

  1. Avoid puncturing the wefts during installation to reduce shedding.
  2. Cutting the wefts should only be done when absolutely necessary.
  3. Sealing your wefts with a high-quality sealant (optional) can enhance longevity.

Weekly Maintenance for Straight & Wavy Textures

CoWashing (conditioner-only washing) once a week is essential to maintain moisture and prevent buildup, which can cause tangling or matting. Shampoo is not recommended for regular use, as it may dry out the hair. Instead, reserve shampooing for occasional professional salon visits.

CoWash Steps:

  1. Divide your hair into sections to make it easier to manage.
  2. Detangle each section with a wide-tooth comb or a wavy hair brush, starting from the ends and working up to the roots.
  3. Thoroughly saturate your hair with water.
  4. Apply conditioner generously to a small section of hair, then use a Denman brush to detangle, starting from the ends and moving upward.
  5. Repeat this process for all sections, ensuring the conditioner is evenly distributed.
  6. Twist the hair into a top bun or braid and allow the conditioner to sit for 15–20 minutes. Avoid massaging the hair to prevent frizz.
  7. Rinse thoroughly. For added waves, scrunch the hair to enhance the texture, or set it in rollers.
  8. Use a cotton T-shirt, microfiber towel, or cotton hair towel to gently dry the hair and minimize frizz.
  9. Apply a moisturizing leave-in conditioner, then air-dry or style as desired.

Daily Care Tips

  1. Gently brush or comb your extensions to style them.
  2. Apply a light hair oil or serum to enhance shine and control frizz. Avoid overloading the hair with products, as this can cause stiffness, matting, and tangling.
  3. When product buildup occurs, it’s time for a CoWash.
  4. Always use a heat protectant when styling with heat tools to prevent damage. Be aware that excessive heat styling can alter the natural wave pattern.

Bedtime Care

  1. Apply a small amount of hair oil to the lengths and ends before bed.
  2. Secure your hair in braids, twists, heatless curlers, or a wrapped style to preserve your curls or waves.
  3. Use a satin scarf or bonnet to reduce frizz and flyaways.
  4. For bouncy waves, flexi-rods are a great option.
  5. In the morning, remove your overnight protection and gently comb through using a soft brush, starting at the ends and working up. Style as needed.
