Storage and Cleaning \u2013 Often Forgotten Care Step<\/h2>\n

Proper extension storage and cleaning are often forgotten care steps that significantly affect extension lifespan and appearance. Especially clip-in extensions that aren’t used daily benefit enormously from correct storage.<\/p>\n

Extensions are an investment \u2013 proper storage protects that investment as much as daily care.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Clip-In Extension Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Step<\/th>\nAction<\/th>\nWhy Important<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
1. Clean<\/td>\nWash with sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner<\/td>\nRemoves product buildup and oil<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
2. Dry<\/td>\nAir dry on flat surface<\/td>\nPrevents mold and odor<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
3. Brush<\/td>\nBrush extensions completely smooth<\/td>\nPrevents tangling during storage<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
4. Pack<\/td>\nPlace in storage bag or original packaging<\/td>\nProtects from dust and sunlight<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
5. Location<\/td>\nCool, dry cupboard (not bathroom!)<\/td>\nBathroom humidity damages extensions<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

Simple rule: clean, dry, brushed, and dark. These four words make extensions last up to twice as long.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
