1. Installation: The Crucial 48 Hours

The first moments after installing your hairpiece are crucial to ensure a perfect fusion with your scalp.

  • Let the attachment set: During the first 48 hours, avoid excessive handling of your hair. This allows the adhesives or silicone membrane to stabilize perfectly.
  • The Moisture Shield: Protect your hair from water, steam, and excessive sweating during the first two days.
  • Tailored Adjustments: If you feel the need to refine the length or density after a few days of wear, our Maolis technicians are available for precise customization.


2. The Washing Ritual: Preserving the Hair’s Nobility

Washing a natural Maolis hairpiece is a technical process that must combine gentleness and effectiveness.

Patience: Wait a full week after installation before your first wash.

The Maolis Exclusivity: Use only the shampoos and conditioners from our range. Their formulas are specifically designed to nourish human keratin without damaging the attachment systems.

The Maolis Technique:

  1. Use lukewarm water (never hot).
  2. Run your hand flat, smoothing the hair from the top to the ends.
  3. Never rub or make circular motions to avoid knots.
  4. Apply our moisturizing treatment and gently detangle with the Maolis wide-tooth comb.


3. Daily Care: The Signature of Style

To keep your hair flawless day after day, adopt these simple but essential steps:

Hydration: Use daily our purified Maolis styling water to restore suppleness to the fiber.

The Final Touch: Apply our fixing sprayIt offers flexible hold without ever stiffening the hair, while protecting the fiber from external aggressions.

Haute Couture Drying: Favor fresh air. If you use a hairdryer, always choose the lowest temperature.

Absolutely to avoid: Mass-market shampoos rich in sulfates or silicones, exposure to intense heat (unprotected irons), and vigorous rubbing.


4. Support at the Center: Expertise and Durability

Regular maintenance with our experts is the secret to the longevity of your hairpiece.

  • Ideal Frequency: We recommend professional maintenance every 3 to 5 weeks. This appointment allows deep cleaning of the membrane and checking the health of your scalp.
  • Adhesive Renewal: For frontal attachments, regular renewal ensures an invisible and secure hairline.
  • The Expert’s Eye: Our specialists (or Rodolphe during a Signature appointment) take advantage of these moments to readjust the cut or density if necessary.


5. Life Cycle of your Hairpiece

A Maolis hairpiece is a living piece that evolves with you.

When to redo the application? As soon as you feel slight loss of adhesion or if knots start to form after exposure to wind or friction.

When to replace your piece? The average lifespan of a Maolis natural hairpiece is about 12 to 18 months Signs like a decrease in density or loss of natural shine indicate it’s time to order your new piece.
