HAIR CARE INSTRUCTIONS

Our official Hair Care Guide for your Kokka Flokka Hair Extensions – 100% Premium Slavic Hair.

Brushing

  • Brush your hair gently starting at the ends, working your way to root
  • Use a boar or nylon bristle brush.
  • Avoid excessive pulling or aggressive brushing the roots of the handtied to maintain extension quality.

Washing

  • Use a sulfate & paraben-free shampoo & conditioner that adds moisture.
  • Limit use of bond-building and/or protein-enriched products, as overuse can cause breakage.
  • Rinse with cold water to seal moisture into your cuticle.
  • Avoid washing every day, supplement with dry shampoo.
  • Use a deep conditioner every 2 weeks to maintain quality.

Drying

  • Gently dry to 50% with hair towel
  • Apply a leave-in conditioner when damp
  • Air dry hair is not suggested, use a hair dryer to ensure a smooth finish + never go to bed with wet hair and extensions.
  • Do not exceed medium heat setting

Styling

  • Apply heat protectant to shield hair from heat damage
  • Do not exceed medium heat setting
  • Detangling and Brushing: It’s important to thoroughly brush your hair several times a day. The “Tangle Teezer” is a good gentle brush that works on both wet and dry hair. Separate and brush through each row individually. Make sure to lift the hair and brush in-between the rows to prevent matting.
    Think about brushing with the grain of your hair, working from the bottom up. Avoid dragging the brush through the applications near your scalp.
  • Use a hair oil consistently. Our scalp only produces enough natural oils for our natural hair, so you will need to supplement with a hair serum to allow continued moisture for your extensions.

Blow Drying

  • Before blow drying your extensions, separate the rows and dry each row individually. Use your paddle brush or round brush to smooth your natural hair and extension hair together. Be careful to get each row 100% dry to prevent itching or chafing.

Coloring & Toning

  • We cannot guarantee the quality of our extensions after any dye, toner, bleach, perm, keratin, or straightening treatment is performed. If you do wish to use such products, always try a test strip before proceeding to make sure you are satisfied with the results. The use of chemicals may damage the extensions. Always see a licensed professional for any services you wish to perform on your extensions.

Purple Shampoo

  • Do not put purple shampoo directly on the hair extensions. We recommend doing a purple bath dip to control color and tone. Do not wash your hair at-home with any purple shampoo products, always see your stylist for toning preferences.

Sleeping

  • Sleep with hair in a low ponytail or braid to ensure hair doesn’t tangle.
  • Never go to bed with your hair wet.
  • Sleep on a silk pillowcase.

 

Vacation & Sunscreen

  • Sunscreen will discolor your extensions. Do everything you can to avoid your hair getting in contact with sunscreen. Putting sunscreen on your body and shoulders with your hair out of the way is not enough to keep sunscreen off from your extensions, as your hair may fall against your shoulder and even a simple rubbing can absorb into the hair and cause it to turn colors. Spray sunscreen is highly discouraged when trying to avoid sunscreen product touching your extensions. Sunscreen will cause your extensions to turn an orange/peach color and there is nothing that can be done to get them back to their original color. Kokka Flokka is not responsible for refunds/replacements if your extensions become discolored, so please, take great care in using sunscreen. Always choose a sunscreen without the ingredient: avobenzone.

Vacation & UV Rays

  • Keep your hair pulled back & under a hat to protect your hair color & excess dryness.

Protective Styling

  • Every evening before bed, work 3-4 pumps of hair oil or serum through your hair from mid-shafts to ends. Then put your hair into one or two low, loose braids to prevent friction and tangles.
  • Headed to the beach, ocean or pool? Before swimming, wet your hair and saturate the strands with a leave-in conditioner or hair mask. Comb the conditioner through your strands and secure your hair in a braid or bun. Rinse your mane out thoroughly after your swim!

Customer Responsibility

  • It is the buyer’s responsibility to inspect the hair and its quality prior to the installation. If there are any quality concerns, we need to know this in the first 7 Days after the installation. Once hair is removed from the original packaging, the hair cannot be replaced for any reason.

Installation

  • Installation of hair extensions must be performed by a Licensed & Certified Hair Extension Specialist/Kokka Flokka Certified Hair Extension Specialist. Your natural hair can be severely damaged if hair extensions are not installed properly.
  • Do not exceed the recommended timeframe for your maintenance appointment which is from 6 – 8 Weeks. If you exceed the maintenance period and do not use proper care + proper products in your daily lifestyle, we cannot guarantee the quality of the hair extensions or your extensions and of your natural hair.

Please avoid

  • Chlorine & Salt Water: Avoid swimming as it will discolor hair.
  • Do not use sunscreen with avobenzone as an ingredient.
  • Be mindful of self-tanners, as they will discolor the extension hair
