Before Installation

Prepare your extensions with care for the best results:

  • Inspect bundles prior to installation. If anything seems unusual, contact Elusive Hair before use at support@elusivehair.com.
  • Wash extensions while the bundle is still tied to protect each weft.
  • Cleanse using a moisturizing, sulfate-free shampoo followed by a hydrating conditioner.
  • For best results, let hair soak in conditioner for 30–60 minutes (or longer if desired), then lightly rewash with sulfate-free shampoo if needed.
  • Rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water.
  • Allow hair to air dry completely before installation.

Daily Care

  • Detangle gently each morning using a wide-tooth comb or extension brush.
  • Start from the ends and work upward to reduce tension and shedding.
  • For waves and curls: use a lightweight, water-based leave-in products only.
  • Avoid heavy oils, butters, and thick creams that may cause buildup.

Nighttime Routine

  • Wrap hair in a silk or satin scarf and pair with a satin pillowcase.
  • Never sleep with wet or damp extensions.
  • For waves/curls: loosely braid, twist, or pin curl.
  • For straight styles: wrap nightly to maintain sleekness and minimize heat use.

Heat Styling

  • Use minimal heat to preserve the integrity of your extensions.
  • Always apply a high-quality non-oily heat protectant.
  • Keep hot tools at the lowest effective temperature.
  • Limit heat on leave-out to prevent damage.
  • Preserve styles overnight with wraps or hairpins instead of reapplying heat.

Washing Your Extensions

Elusive Hair Virgin Extensions do not require frequent washing.
Recommended: every 2–3 weeks, depending on lifestyle and product use.

How to Wash:
