Weaves & Extensions - Celebrity Stylist, Tippi Shorter, has styled a dream list of starlets and performers including Rihanna, Jennifer Hudson, Beyoncé and Jada Pinkett Smith. As a veteran in the beauty industry with over 15 years under her belt, we asked Shorter to break down the science of maintaining immaculate weaves and extensions.

Clip Appeal - They should be treated with care. Shampoo, condition, air dry and lay in tissue paper or a lingerie bag.

Smooth Operator - Tangles can mostly be attributed to the quality of hair chosen. If you use packaged hair, you will only get one use out of it, so use little to no products in the hair... Indian, Malaysian or Brazilian hair tangles less and lasts for a few applications with little product use. Use products with no alcohol and brush regularly.

At-Home Care - I really like <i>Pantene Relaxed and Natural</i> shampoo and conditioner for weaves. It’s thick enough to really penetrate and soften the extensions. The <i>Ojon Daily Intensive Shine Treatment</i> and the <i>Ojon Glossing Mist</i> work well also.

Customized Tresses - Indian and Malaysian hair work well with thick, curly and wavy hair. For kinky textures, you should go to a custom blend place and have your texture matched.
