Condition away from the bonds, leave the conditioner in for about 5 mins before rinsing thoroughly, until water runs clean again.

Wash your hair at least 3 times a week. Never let your hair get greasy as this can damage the bonds.

You can use “leave in detangler spray” if your hair is long. Do not spray on bonds.

If you get a knot in your hair, hold the hair at the bond and comb through carefully.

Never blow dry your hair on a hot setting with the nozzle close to the bonds as this could melt the bonds.
