1. Installation: The Crucial 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 stylists are available to provide millimeter-precise customization.
2. The Washing Ritual: Preserving the Hair's Nobility
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 Exclusive: Use only the shampoos and conditioners from our range. Their formulas are specifically designed to nourish human keratin without affecting the attachment systems.
The Maolis Method:
- Use lukewarm water (never hot).
- Run your flat hand over your hair, smoothing it from the crown to the ends.
- Never rub or use circular motions to prevent tangles.
- Apply our moisturizing treatment and gently detangle with the wide-tooth Maolis comb.
3. Daily Care: Your Signature Style
To keep your hair looking impeccable day after day, adopt these simple yet essential practices:
Hydration: Use our purified Maolis styling water daily, free of limescale, to restore flexibility to the hair fiber.
The Finishing Touch: Apply our setting spray. It provides flexible hold without ever making the hair stiff, while protecting the hair fiber from external damage.
High-Couture Drying: Opt for air drying. If you use a hair dryer, be sure to select the lowest temperature.
To Avoid at All Costs: Mass-market shampoos rich in sulfates or silicones, exposure to intense heat (styling irons without protection), and vigorous rubbing.
4. In-Salon Support: 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 us to deep-clean the membrane and check the health of your scalp.
- Adhesive Renewal: For front attachments, regular renewal guarantees 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 after exposure to wind or friction.
When should you replace your hairpiece? The average lifespan of a Maolis hairpiece made with natural hair 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.
Summary: The 5 Maolis Golden Rules
