How to Care for Your Human Hair Extensions: Wash, Style & Make Them Last

Premium human hair extensions are an investment, and with the right care your tape-in, K-tip, I-tip or weft extensions will stay soft, shiny and natural-looking for months. Follow these simple steps to make them last.

Washing

Wash 2-3 times per week at most, using a sulfate-free, alcohol-free shampoo and conditioner. Detangle gently before washing, use lukewarm water, and apply conditioner from mid-length to ends, avoiding the bonds or tapes. Never sleep with wet extensions.

Drying and heat

Pat dry with a microfiber towel and air-dry when possible. If you use heat, apply a heat protectant and keep tools on a low-to-medium setting. 100% Remy human hair can be styled, curled and straightened, just avoid direct heat on the attachment points.

Brushing and daily care

Use a loop or soft-bristle extension brush and always brush from the ends upward, holding the roots to avoid pulling. Tie hair in a loose braid before sleeping and use a silk or satin pillowcase to prevent tangling.

Make them last

  • Avoid oil-based or heavy products near the bonds and tapes.
  • Protect hair from salt water and chlorine; rinse and condition after swimming.
  • Book maintenance or move-up appointments every 6-8 weeks.
