1. Installation: The Decisive 48 Hours

The first moments after your hair is installed are crucial to ensuring a perfect fusion with your scalp.

Letting the Attachment Set: During the first 48 hours, avoid handling your hair excessively. 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.
Couture Adjustments: If you feel the need to refine the length or density after a few days of wear, our Maolis technicians are available to provide millimeter-perfect customization.

2. The Washing Ritual: Preserving the Nobility of Hair

Washing natural Maolis hair 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 altering the attachment systems.

The Maolis Technique:

Use lukewarm water (never hot).
Run your flat hand over your hair, smoothing it from the crown toward the ends.
Never rub or make circular motions to prevent tangles.
Apply our moisturizing treatment and gently detangle with the wide-tooth Maolis comb.

3. Daily Care: The Signature of Style

To keep your hair looking impeccable day after day, adopt these simple yet essential practices:

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

The Finishing Touch: Apply our fixing spray. It provides flexible hold without ever making the hair stiff, while protecting the fiber from external damage.

Haute Couture Drying: Favor air drying. If you use a hair dryer, be sure to select the lowest temperature.

Absolutely avoid: Mass-market shampoos rich in sulfates or silicones, exposure to intense heat (heated styling tools without protection), and vigorous rubbing.

4. In-Salon Care: Expertise and Durability

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

Ideal Frequency: We recommend professional maintenance every 3 to 5 weeks. This appointment allows the membrane to be cleaned thoroughly and the health of your scalp to be checked.
Adhesive Renewal: For front hairline 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. Your Hairpiece's Life Cycle

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

When should you have it reapplied? As soon as you notice a slight loss of adhesion or if knots begin to form following exposure to wind or friction.

When should you replace your hairpiece? The average lifespan of a Maolis natural hairpiece is approximately 12 to 18 months . Signs such as reduced density or a loss of natural shine indicate that it is time to order your new hairpiece.
