Hair Extension Care Guide

Caring for hair extensions properly ensures they remain beautiful, tangle-free, and reusable for months or even years. Here’s how to keep them in top condition:

1. Washing & Cleansing

• Use sulfate-free shampoos and conditioners to avoid stripping natural moisture
• Wash extensions no more than once a week (unless worn daily)
• Gently detangle before washing using a wide-tooth comb or fingers
• Avoid soaking or scrubbing—instead, use downward motions when cleansing

2. Moisturizing

• Deep condition regularly, especially for raw or virgin hair types
• Use lightweight leave-in conditioners for hydration without buildup
• Argan oil or coconut oil can help maintain softness and shine

3. Styling & Tools

• Use heat protectants before flat ironing, curling, or blow drying
• Avoid excessive heat styling—opt for low to medium settings
• Do not apply styling products containing alcohol or heavy silicone

4. Sleeping Routine

• Always tie or braid hair before bed to prevent tangling
• Sleep with a silk or satin bonnet or pillowcase to minimize friction
• For sewn-in extensions: secure in a loose ponytail or braid at night

5. Storage Tips (for clip-ins or temporary pieces)

• Store in a cool, dry place in a breathable bag or box
• Ensure hair is clean, fully dry, and detangled before storing
• Label textures and lengths to keep inventory organized

6. Maintenance & Longevity

• For installed extensions: schedule touch-ups every 6–8 weeks
• Avoid harsh chemical treatments such as coloring or perming unless the hair is verified virgin or raw
