Caring for Hair Extensions at Home
So you’ve invested in gorgeous extensions—now what? Proper at-home care is essential for keeping your extensions looking amazing and preventing unnecessary damage. With a few simple habits, you can enjoy your dream hair for months!
Brush Carefully and Regularly
Use a boar bristle brush designed for extensions. Start from the bottom and gently work your way up to avoid tangles and pulling at the roots.
Wash with Care
Use a soft bristle brush designed for extensions. Start from the bottom and gently work your way up to avoid tangles and pulling at the roots.
Use sulfate-free, hydrating shampoos and conditioners to keep both your natural hair and extensions healthy.
Avoid applying conditioner directly on the roots or bonds to prevent slippage.
Sleep Safely
Before bed, secure your hair in a loose braid or ponytail to minimize tangling while you sleep. Using a silk pillowcase also reduces friction, keeping both your natural hair and extensions smooth.
Minimize Heat Damage
Extensions are prone to heat damage, just like natural hair. Always use a heat protectant and avoid excessive styling with hot tools.
Schedule Regular Maintenance
Routine salon visits are crucial. Whether you have keratin bonds or beaded wefts, regular check-ins keep your extensions looking fresh and prevent matting or slipping.
With these steps, your extensions will stay gorgeous and healthy—because beautiful hair starts with proper care!
