5 Tips on Washing Your Hair Extensions!

Washing your hair extensions is a good way to keeping them soft, shiny, and long-lasting. Whether you're wearing clip-ins, tape-ins, or sew-ins, proper care will help maintain their quality and ensure they blend beautifully with your natural hair. Here's a quick guide on how to wash your extensions the right way.

1. Detangle Before Washing
Before you even get your extensions wet, make sure to gently detangle them using a wide-tooth comb or a detangling brush. Start at the ends and work your way up to prevent any breakage.

2. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo
Wet your extensions with lukewarm water and apply a sulfate-free shampoo. Work it through the hair from roots to tips using gentle motions. Avoid rubbing the hair, which can cause tangles.

3. Deep Condition
After shampooing, apply a deep conditioner to keep your extensions moisturized. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes for maximum hydration, then rinse thoroughly with cool water to seal the hair cuticles.

4. Pat Dry – Don’t Rub
Use a microfiber towel or an old T-shirt to gently pat your extensions dry. Avoid rough rubbing, which can lead to frizz and tangling.

5. Let Them Air Dry
Whenever possible, let your hair extensions air dry. If you're in a hurry, use a blow dryer on a low heat setting to prevent heat damage.
