How to Wash Hair Extensions

yes, you wash your hair extensions just like your hair… iv washed mine in hot and cold water it doesnt make them go wrong.

Heey ;
I have recently brought some blonde clip real hair hair extentions .
Im just wondering how often do i wash them & what with ?
& do i leave them to dry naturally or blow dry them dry ?

Thanks

I have had clip in extensions and i now have proper hair extensions with bonded glue.
Clip ins are fine to wash, its best to put lots of conditioner on them, rinse them out and leave them to dry naturally.

In terms of real hair extensions, you do just wash them like your normal hair, but try to avoid really lathering up your hair. I find it best to separate my hair so i wash the top quarter separate and then with my hair extensions just gently run shampoo though it with my fingers and then the same with conditioner.
Its okay to wash near the route but try not to get so much shampoo and product on the top bit because it can make the glue go soft.

I usually let my hair dry naturally, this will keep the hair extensions nicer for longer without them going frizzy on the ends.

Also when i sleep i tend to plat my hair to one side to stop it getting all mattered.

Hope this helps

Hi you wash them the same way as your own hair but you leave to dry naturally.
Here are some top tips:
Brush while they have shampoo/conditioner in.
Leave to dry naturally
Platt for curls instead of tounges.
Wash every week
Use yoghurt it makes it smooth
Use natural shampoo and conditioner
Warm water.
Brush every day
Put somewhere like on a mannequins head
Dont dry with hair dryer.
Enjoy your hair!! if you need to know anything else ask me!!

i’ve worn hair extensions for three years, if you have clip in hair extensions washing your hair extensions to much can be a problem since they don’t have natural oils like your real hair does they may dry out and fray easily, i suggest you wash your clip in hair extensions once every three weeks if you wear them everyday only use condition and pay dry DO NOT use a blow drier, if you are not wearing your extensions every day you can let your hair extensions go even longer. If you are going to do loots of straightening or curling to your hair i suggest using a heat protection product. if you have clip ins do not sleep with them in for tossing and turning will damage your real hair. For bonded hair extensions, its fine to wash your hair as normal dont put conditioner near the glue this will soften the glue, braid your bonded extensions before bed, knots will also loosin the glue, when brushing either bonded or clip in hair extensions while in your head hold towards the top as (where a hair elastic would go)and brushh lightly this way you are not loosing them from your scalp. air dry.

Hello Erica and Jessica,
you dont use moose because it ruins them. I thing that its better if you wash them and then platt them. I think that you should use shampoo that has yoghourt mixed in or you could add yoghurt yourself, as yoghurt makes hair smoother and gives you more of a natural colour.

okay first thing u do is u run them under cold water then use a mild shampoo to wash them like pantene or pretty much anything then u let them natrally dry by themself make sure when u take them out you be careful and dont twist them to get the water out just start from the top and move ur hand downwards holding with a firm grip

im getting real hair clip in extensions but i was wondering when washing them should i keep them clipped into my hair or just lay them down and wash them ?

Hey Becki,
I have worn hair extensions for a long time now and i know a lot about them. If your going clubbing then you will need to have your hair extensions in tip top condition. If i were you i would put shockwaves moose on before you go. Use natural yogurt instead of normal shampoo and conditioner. This will smoothen the extensions and make them smell and look nice. They will be nicer for longer remember to rinse the yogurt out afterwards. DO NOT DO NOT DO NOT go to the gym in them. They make them sweaty and smelly and also frizzy. If i were you i would leave your hair extensions at home. Unless you want frizzy extensions dont take them. Dry Naturally x Good Luck!

hi darlin~
my extensions are now getting kind of dry and they clump together after a while of wear. almost like dreads but pointy at the tips? i don’t know any other way to explain, ha. they’re human hair, well atleast thats what the packaging said. anyhow, its really bothering me and i can’t live without my extensions. what should i do?

Hi .
I was just wondering which type of extensions are better for my hair and in general ? I am African – American so I have that type of hair & i was just wondering which kind of extensions are better for my type of hair . How do you wash extensions ? and do you wash extensions with your natural hair like how you would wash your hair in the shower ? Are they expensive ? Do they fall out easily like during gym or sports practice ? Could sewn in extensions take out your hair and give you bald spots ? Would it be obvious that i’m wearing extensions ? How do you take care of your hair with extensions ? What’s the difference between human hair extensions, clip ins, glue ins, & sewn ins ? Ik im asking alot but can anyone answer these questions ?
