Avoid DIY or household hacks — they can cause serious damage. Key “don’ts” include:
- Dish Soap: Do not use Dawn, Fairy, or Dreft to clean your hair system — it strips oils and weakens knots.
- Isopropyl Alcohol: Too strong for regular use — safe only as a quick pre-cleanser.
- Vinegar, Lemon, or Baking Soda: Can alter pH, fade color, and weaken knots.
- Bleach: Extremely harsh; never use it on hair systems or extensions.
- Household Glue or Spray Adhesive: Not meant for skin or hair — avoid completely.
- Other Harsh Solvents: Acetone or bleach-based cleaners can damage the base and irritate your scalp.
