Hair Extension Care Guide (Please Read Carefully )
It’s very important that you follow these steps to properly care for your high-quality hair extensions. I may sound a little strict, but it’s only because I want your hair to last as long as possible. I love y’all—I promise I’m not being mean!Â
Washing & Conditioning
• Shampoo and condition your hair bi-weekly
• Always wash with lukewarm or cold water (hot water will dry the hair out over time)
• Make sure the hair is fully drenched before applying shampoo
• Shampoo thoroughly, focusing on the top and inside of the wefts
• Work in sections (bundles are thick and need to be cleaned properly)
• Shampoo twice and ensure a good lather
• Do NOT detangle while shampooing — this can cause shedding
• Apply conditioner in sections, finger detangle first, then use a wide-tooth comb
• Let conditioner sit for about 7 minutes, rinse completely, then apply a little more if needed
 Leaving conditioner in the hair can cause buildup, making it feel chalky, tangled, and brittle, which leads to shedding
Products to Use
• Only use salon-approved/professional products
Recommended brands: Redken, Nexxus, Olaplex
• My top recommendation:
Nexxus Ultimate Moisture Shampoo & Conditioner + Hair Mask
• Avoid drugstore brands like Pantene, L’Oréal, TRESemmé, Suave, Dove, Aussie, OGX, etc. — these can dry and strip the hair over time
• Use a hair mask once a month
Important Product Rules
• Do NOT use oils or serums (they can make the hair stiff and stringy)
• Do NOT use silicone mix or heavy protein treatments unless the hair is at the very end of its lifespan
Textured Hair Extensions Only (Curly, Deep Wave, etc.)
• Use high-quality natural hair products such as Camille Rose, Mielle Organics, or Miss Jessie’s
• Avoid products like Cantu and Shea Moisture on extensions
Handling & Maintenance
• Always brush hair gently, starting from the ends and working your way up
• Brush before washing to reduce shedding
• Never brush aggressively—this can damage the wefts
• Allow hair to air dry
• Make sure your braids underneath are fully dry before applying heat
Night Care
• Wear a satin or silk bonnet (extra-long for longer hair)
• Use a satin or silk scarf to keep the top flat
Install & Longevity Tips
• Do not keep sew-ins longer than 2 months
• Over time, buildup from oils and products can cause tangling, stiffness, and loss of flow
After Removal Care
• Brush and rewrap hair into bundles
• Wash immediately using a clarifying shampoo, followed by conditioner and a hair mask
• Do not store hair with buildup—this shortens its lifespan
Final NoteÂ
