CARE

Great hair starts with great care.

Our textures are made to be worn, styled and lived in. Just like your natural hair, your EP STUDIOS bundles need the right care to keep them looking their best.

A consistent routine will help maintain the softness, movement and longevity of your hair.

 

THE EP CARE ROUTINE

01. DETANGLE WITH CARE

Always detangle your hair before washing.

Start from the ends and gradually work your way upwards using your fingers, a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush.

For curly textures, we recommend detangling while the hair is damp and conditioned to help preserve the curl pattern.

Never aggressively brush through dry curls.

 

02. CLEANSE

Wash your bundles regularly to remove product build-up, oils and everyday residue.

Use a gentle, moisturising or sulphate-free shampoo and wash the hair in a downward motion rather than rubbing or bunching the bundles together.

Avoid excessive shampooing, as this can strip the hair of moisture.

 

03. CONDITION

Conditioning is one of the most important steps in your routine.

Apply a generous amount of moisturising conditioner through the mid-lengths and ends, gently detangle and leave the conditioner to work before rinsing thoroughly.

For curly textures, regular deep conditioning will help keep the hair soft, hydrated and defined.

 

HYDRATION IS KEY

Curly hair naturally requires more moisture.

Between wash days, lightly refresh your curls with water or a water-based leave-in product before gently defining them with your preferred curl cream, mousse or lightweight styling product.

Less is more.

Using too much product can cause build-up and weigh down your curls.

 

DRYING YOUR HAIR

For the best results, allow your bundles to air dry whenever possible.

Avoid rubbing the hair with a towel. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water using a microfibre towel or cotton T-shirt.

If using a diffuser, keep the temperature low to medium and avoid excessive heat.

Always make sure the hair and wefts are completely dry before sleeping, styling or storing your bundles.

 

HEAT STYLING

All of our textures can be heat styled, but excessive heat can alter the natural pattern of the hair over time.

Always use a heat protectant before applying heat and keep temperatures as low as possible.

Repeated straightening or high-temperature styling may permanently loosen curls or waves.

If you love switching between straight and textured styles, COPA Wavy is particularly suited to versatility.

 

SLEEPING IN YOUR EP HAIR

Your night-time routine matters.

Before bed:

  • Gently detangle the hair.
  • Loosely braid, twist or pineapple curly textures.
  • Sleep with a satin or silk bonnet, scarf or pillowcase.
  • Avoid going to sleep with wet or damp hair.

Reducing friction overnight helps prevent unnecessary tangling, matting and dryness.

 

KNOW YOUR TEXTURE

BURMESE CURLY

Our Burmese Curly texture has a naturally defined curl pattern with plenty of movement and character.

To keep your curls at their best:

  • Detangle when damp and conditioned.
  • Refresh with water between wash days.
  • Follow with a lightweight leave-in or curl product.
  • Scrunch to encourage definition.
  • Air dry or diffuse on a low setting.
  • Avoid repeatedly brushing the hair while dry.

Your curl pattern may appear tighter after washing and naturally loosen as it is worn and styled.

 

PIXIE CURLY

Pixie Curly has a soft, full curl pattern designed to blend beautifully while giving you plenty of volume.

For maximum definition:

  • Keep the hair hydrated.
  • Detangle in sections.
  • Apply styling products while the hair is wet or damp.
  • Use your fingers or a detangling brush to define the curls.
  • Allow the hair to dry without over-manipulating it.
  • For a softer, fuller finish, separate the curls gently once completely dry.

 

COPA CURLY

Our Raw Indian Curly texture is full of natural character.

As raw hair is minimally processed, no two bundles will be completely identical. Slight differences in curl pattern, colour and texture are part of what makes the hair unique.

To care for COPA Curly:

  • Prioritise moisture and regular conditioning.

  • Detangle gently while wet.

  • Allow the natural curls to form after washing.

  • Use lightweight styling products rather than heavy oils.

  • Minimise excessive heat to protect the natural pattern.

The texture will continue to develop its own character as you wash, style and wear it.

 

COPA WAVY

COPA Wavy is our versatile Raw Indian Wavy texture.

Wear it naturally wavy, add curls or style it straight depending on your look.

To maintain the natural wave:

  • Wash and condition regularly.
  • Detangle gently from ends to roots.
  • Use a lightweight leave-in product.
  • Scrunch the hair while damp to encourage the natural wave.
  • Air dry whenever possible.

When using heat, always protect the hair first and avoid repeatedly applying high temperatures.

 

PRODUCT BUILD-UP

If your bundles begin to feel heavy, dull, sticky or less defined, they may simply need a reset.

Product build-up can affect both the appearance and movement of your hair.

Use a clarifying shampoo occasionally when needed, followed by a moisturising conditioner or deep-conditioning treatment to restore softness.

 

SHEDDING & TANGLING

Some shedding is normal with human hair extensions, particularly during washing, detangling and styling.

To minimise unnecessary shedding:

  • Avoid pulling or tugging on the hair.
  • Detangle gently.
  • Do not cut through the wefts unnecessarily.
  • Avoid applying heavy oils or conditioner directly onto bonds, tapes or installation points.
  • Keep the hair hydrated and free from excessive build-up.

Curly textures can naturally interlock more easily than straight hair, which is why regular detangling is especially important.

 

SWIMMING & HOLIDAYS

Chlorine, salt water and prolonged sun exposure can dry out both your natural hair and your extensions.

After swimming, rinse the hair thoroughly as soon as possible and follow with your usual wash and conditioning routine.

Avoid leaving salt water or chlorine in the hair for extended periods.

 

STORING YOUR BUNDLES

If you remove and reinstall your bundles, make sure they are:

Clean. Completely dry. Gently detangled.

Store them somewhere cool and dry, ideally in a satin or silk bag, and avoid folding or compressing the hair unnecessarily.

 

A LITTLE CARE GOES A LONG WAY

Premium hair still needs maintenance.

Your routine, styling habits, installation and the products you use will all influence how your hair performs over time.

Treat your EP STUDIOS hair as you would your own — with moisture, patience and care — and it will continue to be part of the lifestyle.
