The following is a detailed introduction on how to take care of hair extensions.
- Please be sure to choose mild, silicone-free shampoos. They can effectively clean while avoiding residue buildup at the hair extension joints. The water temperature should not be too high, just warm is fine. When cleaning, be gentle. Do not vigorously scratch the roots of the hair extensions. Focus on cleaning the scalp. For the hair extension part, just pass the foam over it. Avoid directly rubbing the hair extension points. This can minimize the pulling and damage to the connection points, preventing loosening or knotting.
Wash Gently
- Be sure to use a wide-toothed comb. Comb your hair starting from the ends. First, gently detangle the knots at the ends, and then gradually comb from the bottom to the top up to the roots. Combing directly from the top of the head downwards will pull at the hair extension points, causing pain and damaging the hair.
Comb Methodically
- Don’t set the hair dryer to too hot a wind, and keep it away from the roots of the hair when blowing. When using a curling iron or straightening iron, also avoid the position where the hair roots are attached. High temperature can easily damage the bonding points.
Blow-drying and Styling
- Before going to bed, braid your hair loosely into a plait, or gently sweep it up to the top of your head and secure it loosely with a hair tie (don’t tie it too tight). This can reduce the friction of hair on the pillow during sleep. Effectively prevent hair from becoming frizzy and knotted after waking up in the morning, especially the hair extension part.
Pay Attention When Sleeping
With proper washing, combing, maintenance, and avoiding high heat and chemical damage, you can extend their lifespan. Additionally, regular maintenance and adjustments at a professional salon will ensure your hair extensions always stay in optimal condition.
