Let's Start With
Pool Preparation
STEP 1: GET YOUR HAIR DAMP
To ensure even distribution and full absorption of your leave-in product, lightly dampen your extensions first. You can do this by misting your hair with a spray bottle of water or taking a quick shower to get them slightly wet.
STEP 2: SPRAY YOUR LEAVE-IN CONDITIONER THROUGHOUT YOUR HAIR
For pool days, we highly recommend GK Leave-In Conditioning Spray. It keeps your hair moisturized and tangle-free, even after hours in the sun. Be sure to apply it evenly throughout your hair for the best results.
STEP 3: PUT YOUR HAIR IN AN EFFORTLESS DAMAGE-FREE STYLE
This can be as easy as one french braid or some cute scuba braids. This will ensure your extensions are staying matte-free.
Post Pool Care
STEP 1: BRUSH OUT YOUR HAIR
This is the most important step after you get out of the water. Make sure you are brushing in between your rows of extensions.
STEP 2: APPLY A WAVE SPRAY
Planning to lounge by the pool a bit longer and want to maintain that effortless wave texture? A light spritz of R+Co Sail Soft Wave Spray will keep your waves looking perfect!
STEP 3: SHAMPOO HAIR
Shampooing after a swim is essential, especially if you have blonde or dry hair. To keep your extensions hydrated, we suggest using R+Co Atlantis Moisturizing Shampoo. (Not always necessary if you swam in the Ocean)
Enjoying a pool day doesn’t have to come at the cost of your Natural Beaded Rows (NBR) extensions. By following these simple yet crucial steps, you can ensure your extensions stay intact, hydrated, and looking fabulous. Prepping your hair before you dive in, using the right products during your swim, and properly caring for your extensions afterwards will protect their longevity and luster.
