Extension care
-
Keeping your extensions clean and properly conditioned is one of the best ways to protect your investment and keep your hair looking beautiful between visits.
Wash 2–3 times per week using the professional shampoo and conditioner recommended by your stylist.
Brush before you wash. Gently remove any tangles before getting your hair wet to help prevent matting.
Cleanse between your rows. If you have multiple rows, clip the top row up so you can thoroughly shampoo your scalp and the area between each row.
Be gentle. Massage shampoo into your scalp using your fingertips rather than aggressively scrubbing or bunching your hair together.
Don't rub your ends together. This creates unnecessary friction and can lead to tangling and damage.
Condition from the mid-lengths to ends, keeping conditioner, masks, and heavy products away from your attachment points.
Detangle while conditioning. Use a wide-tooth comb or extension-safe wet brush, starting at the ends and gently working upward.
Clarify when needed. An extension-safe clarifying shampoo can help remove product, oil, and mineral buildup. Your stylist can recommend how often based on your hair and water.
Rinse, rinse, rinse! Make sure all shampoo and conditioner are completely removed, especially around and between your rows.
Gently absorb excess water with a microfiber or soft terry hair wrap. Avoid aggressively rubbing your hair with a towel.
One very important rule: Never go to bed with wet extensions. Make sure your scalp and attachment areas are completely dry before sleeping.
-
Brushing & Daily Care
A little daily care goes a long way in keeping your extensions smooth, healthy, and tangle-free.
Brush your extensions several times throughout the day to prevent tangling and matting, especially at the nape of your neck.
Always brush gently and with intention. Extensions require a little extra love to protect both the extension hair and your natural hair. Detangle gently using an extension-safe wet brush or wide-tooth comb, starting at the ends and working your way upward.
Support your extensions while brushing. Hold your hair near the base with one hand to prevent unnecessary pulling or tension.
Start at the ends and work your way up, gently removing tangles as you go.
Apply a professional leave-in conditioner to your mid-lengths and ends before blow-drying to help maintain moisture, softness, and manageability.
Gently squeeze out excess water after washing. Never rub or twist the ends together, as friction can cause tangling and damage.
Wrap your hair in a soft terry or microfiber towel to absorb excess moisture without roughing up the hair.
Be extra careful around your attachment points. Avoid snagging or pulling on your wefts, bonds, beads, or natural hair.
Always use your recommended leave-in conditioner and heat protectant before blow-drying.
Invest in a quality blow dryer. Faster, more controlled drying means less prolonged heat exposure and makes caring for your extensions much easier.
Work row by row. Clip your extensions into sections and thoroughly dry your roots and attachment areas before moving to the next section.
Use your extension-safe brush while drying to gently smooth and detangle the lengths.
Once your hair is approximately 80–90% dry, switch to a round brush to smooth, polish, and finish your style.
The golden rule: Never leave your attachment points damp for extended periods, and never go to bed with wet extensions. Your roots and attachments should be completely dry before sleeping.
Stylist Tip: Keep a small extension brush in your purse or car. A quick brush throughout the day especially after wearing scarves, jackets, or high-neck clothing can make a huge difference in preventing tangles.

Sleeping With Your Extensions
A little nighttime care can make a big difference in the longevity and condition of your extensions.
Never go to bed with wet hair. Sleeping on wet extensions can lead to tangling, matting, and unnecessary stress on your natural hair and attachment points.
Air drying is perfectly fine, but we recommend doing so during the day. Always make sure your roots and attachment areas are completely dry before heading to bed.
Brush gently before bedtime to remove any tangles that developed throughout the day.
Secure your hair before sleeping. A loose braid, two loose pigtail braids, or a low, soft bun will help prevent tangling and friction while you sleep.
Skip tight hairstyles. Your nighttime style should be comfortable and loose enough that it doesn't create tension on your attachment points.
Sleep on silk. We highly recommend a silk pillowcase to reduce friction, minimize tangling and breakage, and help protect both your extensions and natural hair.
Beauty sleep really does matter. A few extra minutes of care before bed will help keep your extensions soft, smooth, and beautiful between appointments.

Protecting Your Extension Investment
Your extensions are an investment, and a few simple precautions can make a big difference in keeping them soft, beautiful, and true to color.
Never sleep with wet extensions. This can cause tangling, matting, and unnecessary stress on both your extensions and natural hair.
Use only stylist-recommended products. Certain ingredients can affect the color, texture, attachment points, and longevity of extension hair. When in doubt, ask us—we're always happy to recommend what's best.
Blondes, be extra careful with sunscreen. Sunscreens containing avobenzone can contribute to peach, pink, or orange discoloration in some light-colored extensions. Choose a mineral sunscreen without avobenzone and keep sunscreen from transferring onto your hair whenever possible.
Use caution in lakes and rivers. Minerals and other substances in natural water can alter extension color, particularly on blondes and lighter shades.
Protect your hair around pools. Chlorinated water can be drying and may affect the tone and condition of extension hair. Limiting exposure is best.
Planning a beach or pool day? Secure your hair in a loose braid and avoid allowing your extensions to soak whenever possible. If they do get wet, rinse thoroughly with fresh water afterward and follow your recommended care routine.
When in doubt, protect the hair. 🤍 Extensions don't regenerate the natural oils and moisture your own hair does, so a little extra care goes a long way toward keeping your investment beautiful
