Care & Maintenance Guide
Care & Maintenance Guide
Taking care of your Aly Babe™ Hair Extensions is essential to maintaining their beauty, softness, and longevity. With proper care — and the right tools — your extensions can last several months or even years and remain as stunning as the day you installed them.
Washing
-
Always use sulfate-free, paraben-free shampoo and conditioner to maintain softness and shine.
-
Wash gently in a downward motion to avoid tangling the wefts.
-
Do not rub or twist the hair — simply smooth shampoo through, rinse, then follow with conditioner.
-
Avoid washing every day; 2–3 washes per week is ideal to prevent dryness.
Brushing & Detangling
-
Use a wide-tooth comb or extension brush.
-
Start from the ends and work your way upward to avoid pulling at the wefts.
-
Brush before washing and before bed to keep hair tangle-free.
-
Never brush wet extensions aggressively; gently detangle with a wide-tooth comb.
-
Recommended Tool: Aly Babe™ Pink & Black Detangler Brush – designed to glide through extensions without pulling.
Drying
-
Air drying is best whenever possible. Pat hair with a soft towel and let it dry naturally.
-
If blow-drying, use the cool or low-heat setting to protect the hair.
-
Make sure roots and seams are completely dry to prevent mildew.
Heat Styling
-
Extensions are 100% human hair, so you can style them like your natural hair.
-
Always apply a heat protectant spray before using flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers.
-
Limit excessive heat to prevent split ends or dryness.
-
Recommended Tool: Aly Babe Heatless Sleeping Curler – style without heat damage by curling overnight.
Sleeping
-
Never go to bed with wet hair.
-
Put extensions into a loose braid, ponytail, or bun before sleeping to reduce tangling.
-
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to minimize friction and breakage.
-
Recommended Products:
-
Aly Babe Silk Sleep Bonnet – reduces overnight tangling and friction.
-
Aly Babe 100% Bamboo Pillowcase – gentle, breathable, and prevents dryness.
Swimming & Exercise
-
Yes, you can swim and exercise with your extensions!
-
Before swimming, apply a light leave-in conditioner or oil to protect the hair from chlorine or saltwater.
-
Tie hair into a braid and wear a swim cap if possible.
- After swimming, rinse extensions thoroughly with fresh water as soon as possible.
Storage (for Clip-Ins or Temporary Extensions)
-
Store extensions in a cool, dry place, ideally in a storage bag or case.
-
Keep them tangle-free by brushing before storing.
-
Avoid direct sunlight and humidity when not in use.
-
Recommended Product: Aly Babe Ultimate Storage Bag – keeps extensions safe, organized, and ready to wear.
Professional Maintenance
-
Schedule maintenance every 6–8 weeks (for sewn-in or weft installs) to ensure the extensions remain secure and healthy.
-
Always have extensions applied and removed by a professional stylist to prevent damage to your natural hair.
Styling Tips
-
Extensions can be curled, straightened, or styled just like your natural hair.
-
For added volume, layer shorter and longer pieces together.
-
Blend your extensions with your natural hair by styling them together after installation.
-
Avoid heavy oils or products that may weigh the hair down
