How to care for hair extensions

If you want your hair extensions looking good all the time, you need to take care of them just as you would your own hair. All you need to know is a few basic care instructions as outlined below.

Before the washing process is important to remove tangles with comb. Do not use too much force.

Washing extensions

  • Shampoo and conditioner are to be used to ensure the best and longest durability. Do not rub when washing and use tepid water.
  • You can use a standard, gentle shampoo and conditioner.
  • Also, consider to purchase diverse forms for deep protein treatment plans.

You needn´t wash extensions more than about once or twice a month. Of course, if your hair has spent an evening at the night club, there's the other reason to wash them – removal of odours.

Carefully rinse the hair extensions SEPARATELY with tepid water. Place a small amount of shampoo specifically formulated for chemically treated hair in the palm of your hand. The shampoo should be applied to the hair in a downward motion from the top of the extensions to the ends. Gently lather shampoo until hair is visibly clean, then rinse the hair thoroughly under tepid water until all shampoo has been completely removed. Be thorough in the rinsing process as improper rinsing may result in damage of the hair.

A small amount of conditioner should be applied as before using a downward motion, refraining from twisting, rubbing or scrubbing the hair. We would recommend you leave the conditioner on for up to 5 minutes then rinse thoroughly with lukewarm water. Gently blot hair with towel to remove excess water.

Wash extended hair as often as you need wash your own hair by a special hair cosmetics.

  • Do not sleep when the hair is wet.

Brushing and drying extensions

  • Brushing intensity should be at least 2 or 3 times a day.
  • Don´t brush hair extensions, when they are very wet.
  • Use a soft brush and start at the ends and then go towards the roots to remove any tangles.

Hold each piece up and blow dry them until they are dry.

Styling hair extensions
