How to Take Care of Glitter Bundles

Caring properly for your glitter bundles will help them last longer and keep that eye-catching sparkle!

Washing Tips

Be gentle when washing glitter bundles since rough handling can cause tangling. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner made for weaves. Only wash 1-2 times per month as needed.

Maintenance

Use a wide-tooth comb when detangling glitter bundles to prevent excess shedding. Trim the ends every 6-8 weeks to maintain an even appearance. Sleep with a satin bonnet at night and re-style in the mornings with heat protectant styling products.

Avoiding Damage

Handle glitter bundles gently, especially when wet, to prevent breakage. Allow hair to air dry instead of using direct heat. Avoid pulling too tightly when styling into ponytails or updos. Use a heat protectant before using hot tools.

How to Get Glitter Bundles Installed

Consultation

Meet with your stylist for a consultation before getting glitter bundles installed. Discuss the look you want, length, color, amount of hair needed, and your hair care regimen. Your stylist will assess your natural hair to recommend the best glitter bundle options.

Installation

Glitter bundles are installed by sewing the wefted hair extensions onto cornrows done on your natural hair. This allows the bundles to lie flat against your head for a seamless, natural appearance. The cornrows provide the anchor point to sew the glitter bundle wefts onto.

Maintenance Appointments

Expect to return to your stylist every 4-6 weeks for maintenance appointments. This allows them to check the health of your natural hair under the glitter bundles, trim bundle ends for an even look, reinforce any loose stitches, and make sure you continue loving your glittery style!
