How to Wash Hair Extensions

To keep the extensions from tangling use a light mousse and run it through the hair.

Do not use a blow dryer on extensions. Blow drying will damage the hair, so only let them dry naturally.

Don’t wash your hair with extensions for 3-4 days after application. You need to give the bonds time to set properly.

Use oil free products on your extensions.

Don’t overuse styling products on the extensions, that way you only have to wash your hair twice a week or so. It will extend the life of the extensions.

Use a downward motion while washing. Don’t just bundle the extensions on the top of your head as that will promote tangling, just run your soaped up fingers through the weaves and rinse well.

Use a shampoo that is for dry or damaged hair to add moisture back into the extensions.

Make sure when you wash that you wash between the bonds and your scalp. The bonds create a pocket for dirt and bacteria. Getting that area clean is very important.

Brush your hair well before washing. If there are tangles to begin with they will only be worse after the hair is wet.

Always wash your hair after swimming. Chlorine will dry out your hair anyway and even more so the extensions. Condition well after swimming as well.
