How to Wash Properly

Step 1

Detangle hair completely before washing

Always start by gently detangling your hair using a wide-tooth comb or paddle brush. Begin from the ends and work your way up to prevent breakage and minimize shedding. This step is crucial to avoid knots that can worsen during washing.

Step 2

Use lukewarm water and saturate the hair thoroughly

Wet the hair evenly with lukewarm water, not hot, as extreme temperatures can damage the hair fibers. Make sure the water runs through all sections of the hair to ensure a smooth, even cleanse.

Step 5

Rinse thoroughly and blot dry with a microfiber towel—never rub!

Once conditioning is complete, rinse thoroughly with cool to lukewarm water. Gently blot the hair using a microfiber towel to absorb excess moisture. Avoid rubbing or twisting, as it can cause frizz and damage the hair strands.

Heat Styling Tips

Yes, you can style Nikki Smith Hair Collection extensions with hot tools—but always take precautions.

Must-Do: Use a Heat Protectant

• Before flat ironing, curling, or blow drying, apply a heat protectant spray or serum.

• This shields the hair from heat damage and helps maintain the integrity of the hair strands.

Temperature Control

• Keep tools at a medium setting (no more than 400°F).

• Limit heat styling to preserve the natural texture and longevity of the hair.

Additional Tips for Long-Lasting Extensions

  • Protect from Chlorine

    Avoid swimming in chlorinated or salt water with your extensions unless protected.

  • Avoid Harsh Chemicals

    Keep your hair away from harsh chemicals like alcohol-based sprays & strong-hold gels.

  • Store Wigs Properly

    Store wigs on a mannequin head or in a satin bag to keep their shape and texture intact.

With Proper Care, Your Hair Can Last

• Bundles: 1+ year with proper maintenance
• Wigs: 1–2 years depending on wear frequency
• Tape-Ins/Clip-Ins: Up to 9–12 months with gentle handling
