Here’s what you’ll need:
OLAPLEX No. 0
OLAPLEX No. 3

Curly Hair Extension Care | Do a reparative treatment with OLAPLEX No. 0 + OLAPLEX No. 3
You know the feeling when your hair needs a deep conditioning or a reparative treatment? Your extensions are no different. When it starts to look like the ends are getting are looking raggedy and have lost definition it’s time to up your regimen. Our go-to for Bebonia curly hair extensions (and all human hair extensions) is the at-home OLAPLEX treatment featuring No. 0 Intensive Bond Building Treatment and No. 3 Hair Perfector. Why? The two-step bond-building treatment helps strengthen and preserve your curls in one simple use.
Step 1: Starting with your extensions dry, saturate each weft in OLAPLEX No. 0. Then set a timer for 10 minutes.
Step 2: At the end of the timer, gently comb OLAPLEX No. 3 through the strands of each weft. To maximize your treatment gently place the wefts in a ziplock bag or shower cap to ensure saturation. Leave on for at least 10 minutes. This will allow the cuticle to open up, even more, allowing deeper product penetration, thus better results.
Step 3: Shampoo your extensions. For tips and tricks on how to wash your wefts, check out this video by Bebonia. Use OLAPLEX No. 4 to continue the bond building while adding moisture–– a little goes a long way!
Step 4: Condition! Condition! Condition! We all know, curly hair looks its best when conditioned well. OLAPLEX No. 5 intensely moisturizes while further repairing the damage in your Bebonias. For best results, detangle each of your curly hair extensions with a wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and working your way up. And as always, work one weft at a time. For an extra boost of conditioning benefits, leave on for a few minutes before rinsing. For more detangling tricks check out this blog post.
And voilà! From old to new again:
Curly Hair Extension Care | Styling Curly Hair Extensions with Olaplex
To keep the strands of your weft as smooth as possible, we recommend sealing with a cream styler as well as an oil. We love OLAPLEX No. 6 and OLAPLEX No.7 cocktailed together, then applying it to the wefts, combing from top to bottom, one weft at a time.
