Hair Extension Care Tips

1. Gentle Brushing

• Use a soft-bristle or extension-specific brush.
• Start from the ends and work upwards to avoid tugging at bonds or wefts.
• Brush hair several times a day to prevent tangles.

2. Proper Washing

• Use sulfate-free, extension-friendly shampoos and conditioners.
• Wash hair 2–3 times per week to prevent dryness.
• Apply conditioner to mid-lengths and ends only—avoid roots or bonds.
• Rinse thoroughly to remove product buildup.

3. Drying & Styling

• Pat hair dry with a towel; don’t rub.
• Always fully blow dry your hair after washing (allowing extensions to air dry can cause unnecessary stress, matting and pre-mature wear), apply a heat protectant.
• Keep flat irons, curling irons, or blow dryers on medium or low heat, avoiding direct contact with bonds or tape.

4. Sleep Care

• Braid or tie hair loosely before sleeping.
• Avoid sleeping with wet hair.
• Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.

5. Swimming & Water Exposure

• Wear a swim cap when swimming in chlorinated or salt water.
• Rinse hair immediately after swimming and apply a light leave-in conditioner.

6. Regular Maintenance

• Schedule professional maintenance every 6–8 weeks for tape-ins, I-tips, K-tips, or nano extensions.
• Check for slipping, matting, or tangling and fix promptly.

7. Avoid Harsh Products

• Skip heavy oils or products near the bonds or tapes.
• Avoid strong chemical treatments (bleach, relaxers) directly on extensions.

8. Hydration & Care

• Keep hair and extensions hydrated with leave-in conditioners or lightweight serums.
• Trim ends regularly to prevent split ends.
