How to Care for Your Hair Extensions

 

Proper care is essential to keeping your hair extensions looking flawless and lasting longer. Follow these tips to maintain their beauty and health:

 

Washing Your Extensions

 

   •   Use Sulfate-Free Products: Choose gentle, sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid drying out the extensions.

   •   Wash Gently: Wash in a downward motion to prevent tangling. Avoid scrubbing or rough handling.

   •   Condition Thoroughly: Focus on the mid-lengths and ends, keeping conditioner away from the bonds or roots to maintain a secure attachment.

 

Drying Your Extensions

 

   •   Avoid Excess Heat: Gently towel-dry your hair and use a low-heat setting on your blow dryer.

   •   Brush Carefully: Use a wide-tooth comb or extension-safe brush to detangle, starting at the ends and working your way up.

 

Styling Your Extensions

 

   •   Limit Heat Styling: Use heat tools sparingly and always apply a heat protectant.

   •   Be Gentle: Avoid tugging or pulling when styling to protect your natural hair and the extensions.

 

Daily Maintenance

 

   •   Brush Regularly: Brush your extensions 2-3 times a day to prevent tangling.

   •   Tie Before Bed: Secure your hair in a loose braid or ponytail at night to avoid tangling while sleeping.

   •   Avoid Oils on Bonds: Keep oils, serums, and sprays away from the roots or bonds to maintain a secure hold.

 

Professional Maintenance

 

   •   Schedule Touch-Ups: Visit your stylist regularly for maintenance and adjustments.

   •   Reinstall Extensions: Reusable extensions, like tape-ins or I-tips, should be reinstalled every 6-8 weeks for optimal wear.

 

With proper care, your extensions will stay beautiful, soft, and full for weeks to come. Love your hair, and it will love you back!
