Hair Extensions Care Guide

Establishing a consistent routine with your hair extensions from the start is essential, as good habits lead to longer-lasting results. Whether you’re using clip-ins or professionally applied extensions, this guide is suitable for all high-quality Remy human hair extensions.

Avoid Excessive Washing

Avoid excessive washing and use sulphate free, alcohol-free shampoos and conditioners to preserve the quality of your extensions. If you only use super lightweight products, you shouldn’t get too much product build-up. Simply revive them with some Silicone Spritz to help replenish any moisture lost to heat styling. You’ll only need to do this every few months but it’ll help to soften the hair, detangle the lengths and add shine.

Choose the Right Hair Brush

Gently brush your extensions with a loop brush or wide-tooth comb, starting from the ends and working your way up to prevent tangles.

Remember to brush your hair extensions each time you take them out of their box and before you pop them back to keep them tangle free. Just be sure to brush from the ends up!

Style with Care

Just like your natural hair, you need to make sure you’re protecting your hair extensions from heat damage when styling. Using too much heat can lead to breakage as your extensions do not get the same supply of natural oils as your own hair. Always apply heat protectant, and keep the temperature below 180°C (350°F) to avoid damaging the extensions.

Storing Your Extensions

When not in use, store your Clip-In extensions flat or hang them on a hanger in a cool, dry place to maintain their shape and prevent tangling.
