Hair Care Guide

At Chic Amour, we are committed to providing you with quality 100% virgin hair. To ensure your full satisfaction, please follow this recommended hair care guide. Please review the pre-installation requirements below, then choose your Collection and texture for specific guidelines, tips, and maintenance. 

Rinse the hair under warm water. It is important that you keep the plastic security band around the bundle during this process to avoid tangling. Then, run your fingers through the hair.

Set out to air dry. Once dry, the hair should be tangle and shed-free. If you detect any problems during this pre-installation process, please contact us immediately.

We stand behind the quality of our hair 100%. In the rare case that you experience any excessive matting, shedding or tangling within the first week due to a manufacturing issue, please contact us for further consultation. During the consultation we may recommend that the installation be removed and returned to the place of purchase for testing.

Installation Tips

When doing a full sew-in, professional stylists suggest folding the wefts rather than cutting individual tracks. This maintains the integrity of the extension, prevents shedding, and makes re-installation easier.

Machine Wefted Hair: When installing wefted extensions with a needle, it is recommended that you sew around the weft rather than through. Putting a needle through the weft will weaken the structure and cause shedding.

 

General Maintenance

Once you receive your Chic Amour Virgin Hair Extensions:

  • We suggest that you have your stylist trim the ends, especially if you plan on doing a lot of heat styling. Hot tools can contribute to split ends, shortening the life of your extensions.
  • Shampoo and condition weekly to maintain softness and manageability. The shampoo gently cleanses, replenishes vital moisture, and maximizes shine. The conditioner provides hydration without weighing down the hair.
  • It is suggested that you visit your stylist regularly to have your hair and extensions shampooed, especially when wearing a sewn-in installation. It is critical that hair is properly cleansed and dried. 
  • Hair extensions should not be handled rigorously and should always be shampooed in a downward motion. 
  • Keep styling products to a minimum to prevent weighing down the hair. A dime size amount of argan oil will suffice to avoid over oiling your extensions.
