How to Wash Hair Extensions
Once you have your hair extensions installed, it is important to care for them properly to keep them looking their best.
Here are the key steps on how to wash hair extensions:
1. Brush your hair extensions first
Brush your hair extensions well before you get them wet. This will help to reduce tangles and knots.
Start at the bottom of your hair and work your way up. Use a wide-toothed comb or a soft bristle brush.
2. Shampoo your hair extensions or bundles
Wash your hair extensions or bundles with warm water and a sulfate-free shampoo.
Be careful not to wash too hard, especially near the bonds.
After shampooing, apply a sulfate-free conditioner from the middle to the ends of your hair.
Be sure to avoid applying conditioner to the roots of your hair, as this can make the bonds loosen.
3. Apply a nourishing hair mask
Once a month, apply a nourishing hair mask to your hair extensions.
This will help to keep your hair extensions soft and healthy.
If you have clip-on extensions, you can leave the mask in overnight.
Be sure to rinse your hair thoroughly after applying the mask.
4. Air dry your locks
After washing and conditioning your hair extensions, let them air dry naturally.
If you can't wait for your hair to air dry, you can use a blow dryer on a low heat setting.
Be sure to use a heat protectant spray to prevent your hair from getting damaged.
5. Comb your hair extensions
Once your hair extensions are dry, comb them gently using a wide-toothed comb.
Be sure to start at the bottom of your hair and work your way up.
If you have clip-on extensions, be careful not to pull them out of your hair.
By following these steps, you can keep your hair extensions looking their best for many years to come.
