Hair Extension Care Guide – Make Them Last Longer
Why Is Care Important?
Hair extensions don’t receive nutrients from your scalp like your natural hair. That’s why they need special care to stay soft, shiny and tangle-free. With proper care, extensions last significantly longer.
Washing
- Wash extensions 2–3 times per week – not daily
- Use sulfate-free shampoo
- Wash gently with circular motions – don’t rub
- Always rinse with cool water at the end
Conditioner and Masks
- Use conditioner every wash – only on ends and mid-lengths
- Do a deep conditioning treatment once a week
- Avoid applying conditioner to attachment points (bonds/tape)
Brushing
- Use a special extension brush or silk brush
- Always start from the ends and work upward
- Brush before bedtime to prevent tangling
Sleeping
Braid hair into a loose braid at night. Silk pillowcases reduce friction and keep extensions in good condition.
Also Remember
- Protect hair from heat styling with heat protection spray
- Avoid chlorine and salt water without protection
- Visit your stylist for regular maintenance
