Hair Care Tips and Recommendations
At Miss Priss Locs, our goal is to help maintain the longevity of your hair!
Installation Tips (bundles)
Machine Wefted
- When installing wefted extensions with a needle, it is recommended that you sew around the weft rather than through it. Putting a needle through the weft will weaken the structure and cause shedding.
Miss Priss hair options
Straight
- Easy to flat iron or curl
Body Wave
- Straightens easily with a flat iron
- Texture allows for long lasting curls
- Returns to its original wave pattern after every shampoo and condition
- To define waves:
- Use paddle brush to detangle wet hair;
- Distribute product evenly;
- Scrunch;
- Allow hair to air dry to use diffuser for more volume
- Handling the hair during the drying process can cause frizziness.
Curly
- Can be straightened with the use of blow dryer and flat iron
- Texture allows for long lasting curls
- A curling iron can be used at low temperature to blend with natural hair or define curls
Styling Products
Miss Priss hair does not need a lot of product.
- Use any styling products sparingly to maintain natural body and movement.
- Apply products while the hair is damp so they are not overly concentrated.
- Avoid alcohol-based styling products, since alcohol can make the hair dry and cause tangling.
- To prevent excessive dryness, use argan oil.
**When using hot tools, such as a wand, flat iron, curling iron, Miss Priss Locs recommends
using a good heat protectant to avoid damage to the cuticle. We suggest that the hot tools are used at 410 degrees F and lower on chemically processed hair. Keratin proteins in the hair begin to melt at 451 degrees F and many irons and hot tools will get to 450 degrees F which can be damaging.
Chemically Altering Miss Priss Hair
We strongly recommend that all chemical alterations be done professionally!
- Prior to any chemical alterations, a strand test should be performed. Be aware that performing these services can change the texture and/or pattern of the hair.
- Note that relaxing, perming, coloring, lifting or otherwise processing Miss Priss hair voids ALL EXCHANGE AND REPLACEMENT guarantees.
Specific Conditions
Weather Conditions
Cold and Dry
Cold and extremely dry weather conditions can cause hair to appear brittle.
- Moisture hair more frequently. We recommend daily use of argan oil.
- Please note: Exposure to the sun may cause a slight change in color in both natural and chemically colored hair.
Heat and Humidity
Hair tends to swell when exposed to extreme heat or humidity, especially heavily textured hair (curly or wavy).
- Use a small amount of product to control and define the texture.
- It may be necessary to deep condition more frequently.
Swimming
It is not recommended that you swim with extensions in your hair, as chlorine and salt are damaging to the hair. However, if you do, the following precautions are recommended:
- Comb or brush through hair;
- Apply a leave-in conditioner to hair to act as a protective layer;
- Braiding hair may help to prevent tangling;
- Afterwards, thoroughly shampoo and condition hair.
