Dream Girl Hair Extensions Care Guide Welcome to the Dream Girl family!

Your new hair extensions are a blend of premium quality and luxury, designed to help you achieve your dream hair. With proper care, your extensions will stay soft, shiny, and fabulous for a long time. This guide provides specific tips for caring for Dream Girl Hair Extensions, ensuring they remain flawless and long-lasting.

1. General Care Tips for Dream Girl Extensions
Daily Care

  • Gentle Brushing: Use a loop brush or wide-tooth comb to detangle your extensions. Start from the ends and work upwards to avoid pulling or damaging the hair.
  • Separate Bonds or Tapes: If you’re wearing semi-permanent extensions (e.g., Tape-Ins, Keratin Bonds), gently separate the bonds daily to prevent matting or tangling.
  • Avoid Tension: Handle your extensions with care. Avoid tugging or pulling to maintain their integrity.

Washing

  • Frequency: Wash your Dream Girl extensions only when needed: 1–2 times per week is ideal for semi-permanent extensions and after every 10–15 wears for Clip-Ins.
  • Shampoo: Use a sulphate-free, extension-friendly shampoo to protect the hair.
  • Technique:
    1. Wet the hair with lukewarm water, avoiding the bonds or tapes.
    2. Gently apply shampoo to the mid-lengths and ends.
    3. Rinse thoroughly and repeat if necessary.

Conditioning 

  • Apply conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends only. Avoid the roots or bonds to prevent slippage.
  • Use a deep conditioning mask once a week to keep the extensions hydrated and soft.

Drying

  • Pat Dry: After washing, gently pat the hair with a microfibre towel—do not rub.
  • Air Dry: Let your extensions air dry whenever possible. If using a blow dryer, use a low heat setting and avoid the bonds or tapes.

Storage

  • Use Silk or Satin Bags: Store your extensions in a silk or satin bag to prevent tangling and reduce friction.
  • Ensure Dryness: Always make sure extensions are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew or odour.
  • Avoid Direct Sunlight: For long-term storage, keep your extensions in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.

2. Styling Your Dream Girl Extensions

Heat Styling

  • Protect Your Extensions: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using hot tools like curling wands, straighteners, or blow dryers.
  • Moderate Heat: Use low to medium heat settings to avoid damaging the hair.
  • Avoid Bonds: For semi-permanent extensions, keep heat away from the bonds or tapes to maintain their strength.

Brushing

  • Brush extensions gently, holding them at the root to prevent tension on the bonds or tapes.
  • Use a Dream Girl loop brush or detangling brush for best results.

Avoid Tangles

  • Tie your hair back or braid it before sleeping, exercising, or going out in windy conditions.
  • Never sleep with wet hair extensions; ensure they are completely dry beforehand.

3. Dream Girl Extensions by Type

Clip-Ins

  • Daily Removal: Remove Clip-Ins every night to protect your natural hair and the extensions.
  • Storage: Store them in a protective case or a clean, dry space. Brush them thoroughly before storage.
  • Washing: Wash Clip-Ins sparingly: once every 10–15 wears or when there’s product buildup.

Tape-Ins

  • Avoid Water for 48 Hours Post-Application: After application, do not wash your hair for 48 hours to let the adhesive fully set.
  • Maintenance: Schedule a salon visit every 6–8 weeks to reposition or reapply the tapes as your natural hair grows.

Keratin Bonds

  • No Oily Products: Avoid applying oil or conditioner near the bonds to prevent loosening.
  • Professional Removal: Do not attempt to remove Keratin Bonds at home. Visit your stylist for proper removal and reapplication every 3–4 months.

Wefts/Weaves

  • Dry Thoroughly: Ensure the base of the weft is completely dry after washing to prevent buildup or mildew.
  • Regular Tightening: Visit your stylist every 6–8 weeks for tightening or adjustments.

4. Activities with Dream Girl Extensions Sleeping: 

  • Tie your hair into a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling while you sleep.
  • Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and maintain smooth, frizz-free extensions.

Swimming

  • Avoid Chlorine and Saltwater: These can dry out and damage the extensions.
  • Protective Measures: Wear a swim cap or braid your hair before swimming.
  • Post-Swim Care: Rinse with fresh water immediately after swimming
