K-Tip extensions are loved for their natural look, movement, and styling freedom. You can wear them straight, curled, in a ponytail, or styled up depending on your natural hair and placement.

But luxury hair still needs proper care.

Styling Your K-Tips

K-Tips are installed in small sections, allowing the hair to move more naturally. Your installation at Maison Ivory Hair is customized around your hair texture, density, lifestyle, and favorite styles.

You can use heat, but always use heat protectant and avoid placing excessive heat directly on the K-Tip bonds.

Sleeping With K-Tips

Never go to bed with wet extensions.

Before bed, gently brush your hair and place it in a loose braid or low ponytail. Sleep with a silk or satin bonnet or pillowcase to help reduce tangling and dryness.

Shampooing & At-Home Care

Yes, you should shampoo your hair while wearing K-Tips. A clean scalp is part of healthy hair.

Clean your scalp gently, condition the lengths and ends, and avoid putting heavy oils or conditioners directly on the bonds.

Brush daily with an extension-friendly brush, starting at the ends and working your way up.

Working Out & Swimming

You can still work out, travel, and swim with K-Tips.

Secure your hair before workouts or swimming and properly cleanse and dry your hair afterward. K-Tips should fit into your lifestyle, not control it.

Maintenance Matters

K-Tips are low maintenance, not no maintenance.

As your natural hair grows, your bonds grow with it. Professional maintenance allows me to check your scalp, natural hair, new growth, and extensions.

At Maison Ivory Hair, the goal is more than beautiful extensions. It is a customized luxury transformation while keeping the health of your natural hair in mind.
