How should I wash my extensions?Updated 25 days ago
Looking after your extensions properly will keep them soft, silky and lasting longer! Here’s how to wash them:
- Brush first. Always gently brush your extensions before washing to remove any tangles.
- Fill a clean sink or bowl with lukewarm water.
- Add your shampoo. Pump 2 to 3 dollops of a paraben, sulphate, alcohol and keratin-free shampoo into the water and mix until dissolved.
- Wash each piece separately. Hold the extension by the bond and dip the hair into the water, then massage gently with light strokes.
- Condition the mids and ends. Apply conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends, then lay the extensions on a towel for around 15 minutes before rinsing.
- Treat them to a mask. Apply a deep conditioner or hair mask and leave it on overnight.
- Rinse in the morning. Rinse each extension in warm water the next day.
- Dry. Let them air dry, or use a heat protectant and blow-dry.
Remember: always use a shampoo that’s free from parabens, sulphates, alcohol and keratin, and only condition the mids and ends. Sticking to these simple rules will help your extensions stay beautiful for longer! 💗
