Learn how to properly care for your hair extensions to keep them looking beautiful longer
Hair extensions can transform your look, but proper care is essential to maintain their beauty and longevity. Here's your complete guide to keeping your extensions looking fabulous.
Establish a gentle daily routine that protects both your natural hair and extensions. Use sulfate-free shampoos and avoid excessive brushing.
Wash your extensions 2-3 times per week maximum. Use lukewarm water and gentle, extension-safe products. Always condition from mid-length to ends.
Use a soft-bristle brush or extension-specific brush. Start from the ends and work your way up to prevent tangling and damage.
Always use heat protectant before styling. Keep heat tools on low to medium settings and avoid excessive heat exposure.
Protect your extensions while sleeping by braiding your hair or using a silk pillowcase. This prevents tangling and maintains the style.
Always wet your hair with clean water before swimming and wear a swim cap when possible. Rinse thoroughly after swimming in chlorinated or salt water.
Schedule regular maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks to keep your extensions looking fresh and properly positioned.
Avoid products containing alcohol, sulfates, or heavy oils near the bonds. These can weaken the attachment points and cause premature shedding.
If you notice excessive shedding, matting, or discomfort, schedule an appointment with your stylist immediately.
Never attempt to remove extensions yourself. Professional removal ensures your natural hair remains healthy and undamaged.
