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:

  1. Brush first. Always gently brush your extensions before washing to remove any tangles.
  2. Fill a clean sink or bowl with lukewarm water.
  3. Add your shampoo. Pump 2 to 3 dollops of a paraben, sulphate, alcohol and keratin-free shampoo into the water and mix until dissolved.
  4. Wash each piece separately. Hold the extension by the bond and dip the hair into the water, then massage gently with light strokes.
  5. 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.
  6. Treat them to a mask. Apply a deep conditioner or hair mask and leave it on overnight.
  7. Rinse in the morning. Rinse each extension in warm water the next day.
  8. 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! 💗
