How long does it take to put them in?
If you have had experience at tying them in, it takes less than 15 minutes to do an entire head (about 10 to 15 strands). If you are just learning, be patient because like anything new, you have to learn and master it.
Can I wash my hair?
Yes! Bling Strands can be left in while shampooing, conditioning and while using any other hair styling products that you usually use in your hair.If you are getting a color weave, they can be lifted away from the hair being processed and they will be fine. If you are doing an all over color and they are exposed to the chemicals from coloring the color can be stripped off, so remove them and have your stylist replace them after the treatment is completed.
Can I brush, blow dry, curl, or flat iron my hair?
Yes; Bling Strands are a synthetic fiber, so for maximum longevity follow our guidelines.
Like other types of extensions, you need to treat Bling Strands gently for maximum longevity. They can be brushed, but do it with care, and we would advise that you avoid using combs--especially fine tooth combs. If you must use a comb, make sure it has wide teeth and you don't get it under the knot and slide off your Bling.
You can blow dry and round brush your Bling Strands.
When using a curling iron or flat iron, we suggest you use it on a medium to low heat setting (lower than 380 degrees).
For curling, they will follow a gentle curl with a curling iron, but to achieve a tight curl you need to run the strand between your fingernails (like Christmas ribbon).
You can use all of your normal styling products--hairsprays, pomades, gels, mousses, oils, etc.
Please note that hair crimping tools are NOT to be used.
How long will my Bling Strands stay tied in my hair?
Bling Strands can last up to 4 weeks tied to a strand of hair (we have seen longer times, but the average is about 4 weeks). The length of wear is related to the rate at which your hair falls out and how gently you treat the hair. Avoid using combs (see above).
If you would like to remove them, pull on the Bling Strand until it releases. It is tied to a single strand, so it is easily pulled out. We do NOT recommend that you cut the strands out.
Because Bling Strands will last as long as the hair they are tied to remains in the scalp, the length of wear varies by the individual. If you tend to lose a lot of hair you may find you need to replace strands more frequently. Fortunately, it is very easy to tie a new Bling Strand into your hair to replace any that are lost.
