Brush Your Hair Extensions Gently
Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to detangle your hair extensions, starting from the ends and working your way up. This helps prevent pulling and minimizes shedding. Be extra careful around the attachment area to ensure everything stays secure and to avoid causing the extensions to slip. Regular brushing keeps your extensions smooth and manageable.
Wash with Care
Washing your hair extensions less frequently can significantly prolong their lifespan. Aim to wash them only when necessary — typically every 1-2 weeks, depending on your lifestyle. Daily or excessive washing can strip the hair of its natural moisture, reducing durability. If you wash your natural hair more often, use dry shampoo or focus on cleansing only your scalp to keep extensions fresh between washes.
Use a gentle, sulfate-free, and alcohol-free shampoo and conditioner to preserve the hair’s softness and natural appearance. Let the extensions air-dry naturally or use a blow-dryer with a heat protector on a low heat setting.
By washing your extensions sparingly and with care, you’ll help maintain their quality and extend their lifespan.

Dye Your Hair Extensions Carefully
Lighter shades are more receptive to coloring, while darker shades may need extra processing for noticeable changes. Avoid bleaching the extensions, as this can damage the hair and weaken bonds. If you’d like to color your extensions, consult a professional stylist and always perform a strand test first to ensure you achieve the desired result without compromising quality.
Styling Recommendations
You can style your hair extensions with heat tools up to 160°C/320°F. Always apply a heat protectant before using curling irons, straighteners, or blow dryers. Extensions can be styled just like natural hair, but avoid excessive heat to prevent long-term damage and keep the hair looking its best.
