CO-WASHING EXTENSIONS
THE PRODUCTS AND PROCESS
You've just received your exquisite Trina LaShaye Hair extensions and are contemplating your next steps. It's imperative to commence by co-washing your hair extensions before the initial installation, ensuring the hair is immaculate and retains its natural state. Keep in mind that your extensions emulate the behavior of natural hair, accumulating product residue and particles akin to regular hair. To maintain the vibrancy of your textured hair, co-washing is an absolute essential!
Co-washing involves exclusively cleansing your hair using conditioner while minimizing the use of shampoo. Regardless of the texture, length, or specific type of hair extension product you've acquired, it is mandatory for all our extensions to undergo co-washing before the initial installation.
The advantages of co-washing hair extensions encompass a spectrum of benefits: it diminishes dryness, tames frizz, augments shine, enhances softness, and naturally purifies the hair from any residual styling products that have been applied.
Consider cleansing conditioners as a two-in-one solution, combining the benefits of shampoo and conditioner. These mild formulas effectively cleanse your extensions while simultaneously conditioning, detangling, and imparting shine and moisture. Unlike conventional shampoos, cleansing conditioners lack detergents and foaming agents that, if excessively used, can lead to dry, lackluster, or damaged hair.
To make the most of a cleansing conditioner or co-wash:
1. While retaining the extensions in their original zip ties, saturate them with lukewarm water.
2. Gently massage a few pumps of the product into damp hair, ensuring even distribution from the tips to the roots.
3. Utilize a wet brush to work the product through the hair, ensuring you brush from the ends towards the roots. Allow the product to rest for 5 minutes, then rinse and repeat the process.
4. After the second application, thoroughly rinse the hair with cool water until all traces of the product are eliminated. Run a wet brush through the extensions and allow the hair to air dry while hanging.
NATURAL WAVE AND TWISTED CURL
LEARN YOUR HAIR TYPE
Type 2 (Wavy)
Type 2 waves are bendable, can be fine to coarse, and have a definitive S pattern that lays closer to the head.
Type 2A
Those with hair type 2A have a fine, barely-there tousled texture that's very easy to straighten. People with this texture have to be wary of using heavy styling products that can easily weigh their strands down, rendering them limp and lifeless. If you've got this hair texture, be sure the products you're looking for are formulated with a lightweight consistency.
2A waves, typically lack volume at the root. We recommend using an airy, water-based mousse, to add a bit of oomph at the base, making hair look fluffier and fuller.
Type 2B
2B hair lies flatter at the crown with defined S-shaped waves starting from the midlength, like Salma Hayek's here. Strands are thicker in diameter than a 2A, and you'll have to put a bit more elbow grease into getting it straight. To enhance your natural surfer-babe waves, use a texturizing mist enriched with rice protein for hair that is never crunchy or stiff.
Type 2C
2C waves are thick and more susceptible to frizz. The S-bends are well-defined and begin at the roots. Shakira is the perfect example of this hair type. In between shampoos, use a non-lathering, sulfate-free co-wash so as not to strip essential moisture from strands.
We recommend layering a leave-in conditioner under a mousse to lock in your hair's natural wave pattern while adding hydration.
TWIRL CURL AND COILED CURL
LEARN YOUR HAIR TYPE
Type 3 (Curly)
Type 3 curly hair can range from loose, buoyant loops to tight, springy corkscrews which have some sheen but are prone to frizz.
Type 3A
3A strands, tend to be shiny with large, loose curls that have a diameter about the size of a piece of sidewalk chalk. Scrunch a curl cream into your dry hair to help emphasize the curl texture. Keep your hands (or brush or comb, for that matter) from touching your curls afterward, or you run the risk of having a halo full of frizz. To maintain those juicy springs, simply spritz your hair with a curl refresher, when it needs a boost.
Type 3B
3B types have springy ringlets with a circumference similar to that of a Sharpie marker. This texture can get dry, so look for gels that have humectants in them to attract moisture to strands. A word of advice: Apply product when your hair is wet so you'll get definition without frizz.
Type 3C
3C curls are tight corkscrews that range in circumference from a straw to a pencil. Strands are densely packed together, giving way to lots of natural volume. Frizziness is common with this type; if that's not a look you're into, use a sulfate-free, creamy cleanser, that won't dry out your hair even more.
We also suggest layering a mousse over a styling cream when the hair is sopping wet to allow curls to clump together and dry faster. Your co-wash reveals your curl pattern, while your styling product captures.
COILED CURL AND KINKY STRAIGHT
LEARN YOUR HAIR TYPE
Type 4 (Coily)
Coily hair, commonly referred to as Afro-textured or kinky hair, is naturally very dry and spongy in texture and can be soft and fine or coarse and wiry. Strands form very tight, small curls of zig-zags right from the scalp and are prone to major shrinkage.
Type 4A
People with hair type 4A have dense springy, S-patterned coils that are about the same circumference as a crochet needle. If you're a fan of wash-and-gos styling should be done more frequently to keep this coily texture popping with soft, pliable strands. A curling cream with a leave-in moisturizer is a must for adding more moisture to daily wash-and-go styling.
Type 4B
4B strands are densely packed and can bend in sharp angles like the letter Z. One of my favorite products for all kinks, coils, curls, and waves is a mist nourishing water based product which is a great primer before styling for hair to look instantly hydrated."
On the other hand, we recommend styling creams for this hair type because they are thicker and are great for palm-rolling or shingling, two types of product distribution methods that stretch out coils and clump them for greater texture definition and elongation.
Type 4C
4C textures are similar to 4B textures, but the tightly-coiled strands are more fragile and have a very tight zig-zag pattern that is sometimes indiscernible to the eye. This hair type experiences the greatest amount of shrinkage — about 75 percent or more — than the other textures.
Since shrinkage and dryness are major concerns for this type, use a liberal amount of leave-in moisturizer, such as the to max the length of those strands. Castor oil is also a great hydrator and sealant for this very dry texture.
