Hair Care & Maintenance
Hair Care and Maintenance for Bundles
Washing
We recommend washing your bundles prior to install, but it is not necessary. For best results, we recommend using
a sulfate-free shampoo and hydrating conditioner. As always, remain gentle with your extensions; avoid harsh
scrubbing when you are washing
Styling With Heat
VELOURS CHEVEUX Textures are 100% Brazilian Virgin hair so you can use heat on them when styling. But keep in mind, just like
your natural hair, extensions are susceptible to heat damage. Using a heat protectant spray prior to heat application
and using a low heat setting can help prevent damage to your extensions and prolong their lifespan. We recommend
using heat no higher than 360 degrees on your VELOURS CHEVEUX hair.
Coloring
Because Textures are 100% virgin, unprocessed hair from a single donor, you can lighten this hair to your desired
color. We recommend having a professional stylist color your hair to keep the integrity of the hair.
In order to keep your VELOURS CHEVEUX Hair looking fresh and silky, proper hair care is ESSENTIAL. The VELOURS CHEVEUX team has worked
hard to ensure your extensions are the highest quality possible so you can look and feel your best. However,
prolonging your VELOURS CHEVEUX hair extensions’ lifespan is up to you!
Our extensions are ethically sourced and made with 100% real Remy human hair, so you should treat them with even
more delicate care than you do your own. To make this high quality hair last as long as possible, we have composed a
fool-proof haircare guide below that will answer all of your questions.
Brushing
Brushing your extensions can prevent shedding and help ensure that your hair stays smooth and tangle-free, if done
properly. To prevent breakage and prolong the lifespan of your hair, here’s a few brushing tips:
Brush your VELOURS CHEVEUX hair when dry, as wet hair is more prone to breakage.
Start at the ends and gradually make your way up to the top. Gently comb through any knots before moving up the
length of the section. Harsh tugging will damage the structural integrity of the clips, as well as the hair itself
Be extra gentle when brushing your extensions while they are clipped in, especially around the top of the wefts,
as you don’t want to pull at the clips.
Regularly brush your VELOURS CHEVEUX hair after use.
Washing
Since hair extensions are not moisturized through a natural hydration source like your real hair, excessive washing
can cause dryness. Generally, the less you wash your extensions, the longer they will last. However, when you feel it
is necessary, you may wash your extensions. For best results, we recommend using a sulfate-free shampoo and
hydrating conditioner. As always, remain gentle with your extensions; avoid harsh scrubbing when you are washing.
After washing, hang your extensions to air dry. NEVER rub them with a towel, and remember to avoid brushing while wet!

Styling With Heat
VELOURS CHEVEUX extensions are made with 100% human hair, so you can use heat on them when styling. But keep in mind, just like
your natural hair, extensions are susceptible to heat damage. Using a heat protectant spray prior to heat
application and using a low heat setting can help prevent damage to your extensions and prolong their lifespan. We
recommend using heat no higher than 360 degrees on your VELOURS CHEVEUX hair.
Coloring
Because VELOURS CHEVEUX hair offers many color options for your hair, we recommend avoiding coloring your extensions. Doing
so can reduce the quality of your hair texture. If you do dye your hair extensions, we strongly advise against
lightening your hair extensions, as bleaching agents will cause severe damage. For any kind of color treatment,
always do a test strand first and remember that extensions will absorb color faster than regular hair.
Product Use
Another important aspect of hair aftercare is using the right products. Heavy hair products, such as hair sprays and
hair gels, contain chemicals that will dry hair extensions, so try to stay away from them. We encourage the use of
gentle, all natural products on your extensions- specifically products without sulfates or parabens. Since your
extensions don’t receive oils from your scalp, we recommend an occasional moisturizing mask to fight dryness and
maintain a shiny and healthy look.
Storage
After you complete proper hair aftercare, your extensions need to be stored with equal consideration. Proper storage is
crucial to keeping your hair silky smooth. When your VELOURS CHEVEUX hair is not in use, be sure to snap all clips shut before
storing. Ideally, you would wrap, or hang, the wefts in a silk bag or storage case. Your extensions should be
completely dry and tucked away from direct sunlight in a cool, dry place.
