Washing
Twice a week at most, with a sulphate-free shampoo. Work downward from the weft or bond, never in circles.
Care that doubles the life
Extensions do not repair themselves the way growing hair does. Six habits keep a set looking like week one.
Conditioning
Mid-lengths and ends only. Keep every product at least two centimetres away from the attachment point.
Drying
Press out water with a towel, then air dry where you can. If you blow dry, keep the nozzle moving and the attachment cool.
Heat
Under 180 °C with a protectant. Extensions do not repair themselves the way growing hair does.
Brushing
A looped brush, twice a day, from the ends upward. Hold the root so nothing pulls on the bond.
Sleeping
Dry and loosely braided, on silk. This alone adds months to a set.
Avoid
- Sulphate and alcohol-heavy shampoos
- Oil or mask within two centimetres of the bond
- Sleeping with damp hair
- Purple shampoo left on longer than three minutes
- Heat above 180 °C without protectant
- Circular washing motions at the root
