Proper care is the key to keeping your hair extensions looking beautiful and lasting longer. We’ve gathered some practical tips on how to take care of your hair extensions correctly. Follow these steps to extend their lifespan and save money!
Shampoo Recommendations: Always choose sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates are foaming agents that can strip natural oils from both your hair and extensions, causing dryness and tangling. Avoid shampoos with alcohol as well, since they can further damage your extensions.
Washing Method Recommendations: Avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours after getting your extensions applied. When washing, let water flow naturally down your hair in the shower and wash gently. Focus shampoo on your roots to remove excess oil and apply conditioner only to the ends to keep them nourished. Avoid putting conditioner near the roots to prevent your extensions from slipping. Use warm water to clean your hair without causing damage.
Hair is most fragile when wet, and sleeping with wet hair can lead to damage and severe tangling. This puts extra stress on the bonds and can loosen or even cause extensions to fall out. To protect your extensions, always blow dry your hair before bedtime. You can also loosely tie your hair in a ponytail or braid to minimize tangling. Using a silk pillowcase helps reduce friction and protect your hair further.
Brushing your extensions frequently is beneficial as long as you’re gentle. Divide your hair into small sections and brush from the roots to mid-lengths and ends, carefully detangling knots starting from the bottom. Avoid backcombing near the bonded or taped areas. For pre-bonded extensions, regularly separate strands with your fingers to prevent matting.
Even the highest quality hair extensions can be damaged by excessive heat, which is hard to repair and shortens their lifespan. To minimize heat damage:
Use a heat protectant spray before applying any heat styling tools.
Keep your styling tools at a low temperature, ideally below 180°C (356°F).
Give your hair regular breaks from heat styling—frequent straightening or curling may look great but will shorten your extensions’ life.
This is especially important for straight hair extensions, which can lose their sleekness and shine if exposed to too much heat or improper care.
