How to take care of your Hair Extension?

Taking care of hair extensions properly will help them last longer and keep them looking smooth, shiny, and natural. Here’s a detailed guide on how to maintain different types of hair extensions:

1. Washing Hair Extensions

Frequency: Wash every 15-20 wears (or every 1-2 weeks) to prevent buildup without drying them out.

Shampoo:Use shampoo to avoid stripping moisture.

Conditioner:Apply a hydrating conditioner from mid-length to ends, avoiding the roots (especially for clip-ins or tape-ins).

Drying & Styling

Towel Drying:Pat dry gently—avoid rubbing to prevent frizz.

-Air Drying:Let them dry naturally when possible.

-Blow-Drying:Use a heat protectant and low heat setting.

-Heat Styling:

  – Use low to medium heat  (max 350°F/180°C for human hair).

  – Avoid excessive curling/straightening to prevent damage.

2. Brushing & Detangling

Brush Type: Use a wide-tooth comb or loop brush (for weaves & tape-ins).

– Technique:

  – Start from the ends and work your way up.

  – Hold the roots to avoid tugging (especially for bonded extensions).

  – Brush 2-3 times daily to prevent knots.

3. Maintenance for Different Extension Types

-Clip-Ins: Remove before sleeping; store properly in a satin pouch.

-Tape-Ins: Get repositioned every 6-8 weeks by a stylist.

-Sew-In/Weave: Keep scalp clean; moisturize natural hair underneath.

– Fusion/Keratin Bonds:Avoid heavy oils near bonds; get maintenance every 2-3 months.

– Halo/Hair Pieces:Store on a stand or mannequin head to maintain shape.

By following these steps, your extensions will stay soft, tangle-free, and beautiful for months! Let me know if you need any Hair Extension!
