GORJESS CURLY TEXTURES

What to Expect When Your Hair Arrives

When your GorJess Hair extensions arrive, you may notice a light floral scent — our signature touch from the co-wash and deep conditioning process done before shipment.

Because curly textures can compact during transit, your curls may need a little revival once opened to show their full beauty.

💡 Important Reminder

Hands off dry curls:

Avoid running fingers through dry curls — it can cause unnecessary frizz and tangling.

Why curly hair acts differently:

Curls crave balance. Too much protein or not enough moisture can change your pattern.

Curly hair is more porous and absorbs humidity easily, leading to swelling, frizz, or loss of definition.

A consistent moisture routine is the secret to soft, defined curls.

🧴 Before Installation

1. Wash Before Installing:

Keep the zip ties on and co-wash your bundles first. This lets you assess the hair before use.

If anything seems off, contact us before installation so we can assist.

2. Expect Natural Variation:

Each bundle is one-of-a-kind — minor color or texture differences are normal.

You can custom-tone or color your extensions for a seamless match.

💇🏽‍♀️ Installation Tips

• Use the “over-and-out” method so the weft beards face inward, preventing scalp irritation.
  
• Don’t pierce the wefts while sewing to avoid shedding.
  
• Only cut the wefts if absolutely necessary.
  
• Consider sealing the wefts before install for added durability.
  

💧 Maintenance Overview

Curly hair loves hydration — co-washing is non-negotiable.

Aim to co-wash at least 3 times per week for best results.

Co-Wash Routine

1. Section Hair: Divide into 5–6 parts before wetting.
   
2. Saturate: Fully soak each section with water.
   
3. Condition & Detangle: Apply conditioner and use a Denman brush, starting from ends to roots.
   
4. Deep Condition: Let sit 15–30 minutes.
   For tighter curls: leave a bit of conditioner in when rinsing.
   For looser curls: rinse completely to prevent heaviness.
   
   
5. Scrunch & Dry: Use a cotton T-shirt to remove excess water and lock in curl definition.
   
6. Dry: Diffuse to 60% dry or air dry. Avoid touching curls while drying.
   

💫 Defining Your Curls

1. Detangle Completely: Separate into 3–4 sections and gently brush through.
   
2. Hydrate: Spray a mix of 2/3 water + 1/3 conditioner until curls are damp.
   
3. Seal In Moisture: Apply a lightweight cream or leave-in and brush through.
   
4. Scrunch: Use a cotton T-shirt to enhance curl formation.
   
5. Dry Gently: Diffuse or air dry — avoid over-handling.
   
6. Refresh Between Washes: Mist with your water/conditioner mix and scrunch to revive definition.
   

Maintenance Tips

• Monthly Treatments: Apply a deep masque or hot oil treatment once a month or between installs.
  
• Heat with Care: Always use a heat protectant — too much heat can loosen curl patterns just like natural hair.
  

Bedtime & Daily Care

Night Routine:

• Style in a high pineapple ponytail or large braids.
  
• Cover with a satin scarf or bonnet to reduce friction and frizz.
  

Morning Routine:

• Remove your wrap and lightly spray curls with the water/conditioner mix.
  
• Detangle gently from ends to roots using fingers or a wide-tooth comb.
  
• Scrunch and let air dry — minimal touching keeps your curls defined.
