Bespoke beaded row extensions (aka hand tied weft or invisible bead extensions) are a fantastic way to transform your look and add volume to your hair. But to ensure they remain lustrous and long-lasting, proper care is essential. Two fundamental aspects of maintenance are brushing and oiling.


In this guide, we'll walk you through three key points to help you master the art of brushing and oiling your bespoke beaded extensions, keeping them looking flawless for months to come.


Tip #1 - Choosing the Right Brush

Brushing your bespoke beaded extensions requires a gentle touch and the right tool. Here's how to select the perfect brush and brush effectively:

  • Bristle Type: Opt for a brush with soft, flexible bristles. Avoid brushes with metal bristles or sharp tips, as they can damage the extensions and your natural hair. We love this looper brush here or you can click here or here to buy one of our favorite detangling wet brushes.

  • Wide-Tooth Comb: If you prefer a comb over a brush, we recommend this one here - The perfect wide-tooth comb is great used in the shower with conditioner to help reduce the stress on your strands when detangling.

  • Start From the Ends: Before brushing your extensions, hold your hair at the root area (gently pressing down on the top of the weft) to prevent tension on the beads. Begin brushing from the ends and work your way upward, gradually removing tangles.

  • Be Gentle: Gently work through knots and tangles using short strokes. Avoid pulling or tugging, as this can cause breakage.


Tip #2 - The Art of Oiling


Oiling your bespoke beaded extensions is a crucial step in maintaining their softness and shine. Follow these steps to oil your extensions effectively:

  • Choose the Right Oil: Select a lightweight, non-greasy oil suitable for both your extensions and natural hair.

These are our top picks:











  • How to Apply: Place a small amount of oil in your palms and rub them together to warm the oil. Gently run your fingers through your extensions, focusing on the mid-lengths to the ends. Avoid applying oil near the beads or roots, as this could weaken their grip, make them slip, and most people don't need extra oil near the scalp area anyhow.

  • Avoid Over-Oiling: Applying too much oil can weigh down your extensions and lead to a greasy appearance. Start with a small amount, and add more if needed.

  • Frequency: Aim to oil your extensions about once a week or as needed, depending on how often you wash and style them. Adjust the frequency based on the dryness of your extensions.


Tip #3 - Maintenance Tips


To keep your bespoke beaded extensions in pristine condition, consider these additional maintenance tips:

  • Nighttime Routine: Before bed, loosely braid your extensions or tie them in a low ponytail to prevent tangling while you sleep. And remember to never sleep with wet extensions either. It's very important to completely dry your wefts before going to bed.

  • Swimming: Before swimming, apply a leave-in conditioner or oil to create a barrier between your extensions and the water, and make sure to do your best to keep your extensions out of the water.

  • Sunscreen: Make sure to avoid sunscreens with the following ingredients (Avobenzine (Butyl Methoxydibenzoylmethane) and Octocrylene) when these ingredients come in contact with hair extensions, it will create a chemical reaction that causes a pink/orangey discoloration that cannot be reversed/fixed. Our fave sunscreen is here (by Sun Bum)

  • Exercise: After exercise, gently remove sweat and moisture with a microfiber towel.

  • Professional Check-Ups: Schedule regular appointments between 6-8 weeks, with your stylist, to ensure your extensions are properly maintained.

  • Protective Styles: When styling your hair, opt for loose hairstyles and avoid tight ponytails or buns, which can put tension on the beads and your scalp.
