Bella-Lu Hair Care Guide

Hair that deserves care.

Bella-Lu extensions were designed for beauty, movement, and longevity—but only with the right care.

Treat them like an investment, and they’ll stay soft, seamless, and stunning for long.

Follow this guide to keep your Clip-In, Tape-In, and Volume Weft looking their best.

Daily Care Rituals

Brushing: Keeping it Smooth

✔ Use a loop brush or wide-tooth comb to detangle.

✔ Start from the ends, working up to the roots.

✔ Always brush before washing or styling.

⨉ Limit brushing wet hair, it weakens the strands.

Washing: Clean, but Gently

Clip-Ins

Wash every 5-10 wears or as needed.

Tape-Ins & Volume Wefts

Wash 1-2 times per week, focusing on the scalp.


Use: Sulfate-free shampoo, lukewarm water, gentle downward strokes.

Condition: Mid-length to ends only—avoid roots for tape-ins/wefts.

Rinse: Cool water to seal in moisture.

Tip: Deep condition weekly to maintain silkiness.


Hard Water Warning

If your water contains minerals, it can dry out and discolor your extensions over time. Use a clarifying rinse once a month to prevent buildup.

Drying: Protect the Strands

✔ Pat dry with a microfiber towel—never rub.

Air dry whenever possible.

✔ If using heat, low setting + heat protectant is a must.

Beauty Sleep for Hair

The No. 1 mistake people make?

Not protecting their extensions at night.
A silk pillowcase is the easiest fix.

Nighttime Routine

Clip-Ins: Remove & store in a carrier bag.

Tape-Ins & Wefts:


✔ Sleep with hair in a loose braid or ponytail to prevent tangling.

✔ Use a silk pillowcase for less friction and less breakage.


Tip: A silk pillowcase doesn’t just protect your extensions, it keeps your natural hair healthier too.

Heat Styling

What's recommended

✔ Always use heat protectant spray.

Max temp: 300°F (150°C) for longevity.

Curls last longer with minimal heat, overuse can dry out the strands.

Warning

⨉ Avoid excessive straightening—it weakens the hair.

⨉ No direct heat on tape bonds or weft seams—it shortens their lifespan.

⨉ Don't use straightener on wet hair.

Gym and Swim

Sweat and oil control

✔ When working out, tie hair in a high pony or braid to prevent sweat from absorbing into extensions.

Swimming Notice

Chlorine and salt water dry out and fade extensions.

✔ Rinse hair with fresh water before & after swimming.

✔ Apply a leave-in conditioner before swimming to create a protective barrier.

✔ Wear a braid or bun to minimize exposure.

Tip: If you swim often, use a deep hydration mask weekly to restore moisture.
