How to care for your waist beads:

After showering or being submerged in water for any amount of time, gently squeeze excess water out of your waist beads. Avoid getting oils or lotion on your beads,, if so be sure to gently wipe off with a damp cloth to maintain bead and cord integrity. It is highly suggested that you do not take mud baths or wraps. Please note that excessive chlorine or other chemicals can alter the color/finish of the seed beads and weaken the cord.
