Universal Care Principles

These guidelines apply to all Bellami extension methods. Scroll down for method-specific instructions tailored to your installation.

🪮

Daily Brushing

Use the Bellami Boar Brush daily. Always start at the ends and work upward — never brush aggressively from root to tip. Gather hair into a ponytail before brushing to minimize tension on attachment points.

🧴

Sulfate-Free Products

Use only sulfate-free, paraben-free shampoo. We recommend Aveda Nutriplenish™ to keep extensions hydrated. Avoid applying conditioner or oil-based products directly at or near the attachment points.

🌙

Sleeping & Protection

Gently brush and loosely braid your hair before bed. Never sleep with wet hair — it causes tangling at the scalp. Use a silk or satin pillowcase when possible to reduce friction.

Washing
