How to Wrap Your Hair After Bonding
By Jason Cooley
Hair extensions and weaves allow you to achieve longer, fuller hair without having to wait months to grow out your hair. The process requires some skill and patience to bond the extensions to your hair so they blend seamlessly and are not noticeable. Knowing how to take care of your hair extensions keeps them looking good and allows them to last longer. Knowing how to wrap your hair at night keeps the extensions from getting tangled and pulled. Hair extension bonds can last up to three months with proper care.

To Wrap Your Hair After Bonding Instructions:
Straight or Wavy Hair
- Apply a natural oil or moisturizer to the edges of the hair extensions. Properly wrapped extensions stay in place without the need of a holding product.
- Grab your hair as you would to make a basic, loose ponytail. Hold the ponytail by the end and twist the length of the ponytail. Coil the ponytail around itself until you form a bun.
- Tuck the end of the ponytail under the outside coil and place a bobby pin through the outside coil into the center of the bun. Do not use an elastic band because it will cause unflattering dents in your hair.
- Wrap a satin or silk scarf around your hair to a snug fit.
Curly Hair
- Apply a natural oil or moisturizer to the edges of your extensions. Properly wrapped extensions stay in place without the need of a holding product.
- Divide your hair into small sections throughout your head.
- Braid your hair by dividing each section into three strands. Cross the left strand over the top of the center strand, making the left strand the new center strand. Place the right strand over the center strand, making the right strand the new center strand. Continue this process all the way down the section of hair.
- Tie the braid off with an elastic band and repeat throughout your head.
- Wrap a satin or silk scarf around your hair to a snug fit.
- Do not shampoo your hair for two days after getting extensions bonded to your head.
- Keeping extensions in your hair after three months can damage your hair.
