Washing and conditioning hair extensions properly is essential to keep them looking natural, soft, and long lasting

Unlike natural hair, extensions do not receive oils from your scalp

so they need special care to avoid dryness and damage

Start by brushing your extensions gently with a wide tooth comb or a brush designed for extensions before washing

Begin at the ends and work your way up to remove any tangles

This prevents knots from tightening during washing

Avoid extreme heat—stick to comfortably warm water

Excessive heat weakens the hair structure and leads to fraying

Choose a sulfate free shampoo that is gentle and formulated for color treated or delicate hair

Dab a dime-sized portion onto your palms and smooth it evenly through the strands

concentrating on the middle and lower portions of the hair

Avoid scrubbing the scalp area or the wefts as this can loosen the bonds or cause shedding

Refrain from twisting, scrubbing, or manipulating the hair roughly

A final cool rinse helps flatten the cuticle for a smoother, shinier finish

Follow up with a conditioner designed for extensions

Avoid applying conditioner directly to the roots or attachment points, as it can cause slippage

Let the conditioner sit for a few minutes then rinse it out completely

For added moisture, consider using a leave in conditioner or a lightweight hair oil, applied only to the mid to lower sections

Pat the hair dry using a soft microfiber cloth or an old cotton T-shirt

Do not wring or rub the China Hair Extension Manufacturer as this can cause breakage

Allow the extensions to air dry naturally whenever possible

Never direct hot air at one spot—keep the dryer 6–8 inches away and in motion

Always brush the extensions again once they are completely dry, starting from the bottom and working upward

Cleanse after 15–20 uses, or roughly every 7–14 days based on frequency

Keep extensions on a ventilated stand or inside a silk pouch to preserve style and reduce friction

Proper daily and weekly routines extend the life and beauty of your extensions for up to a year
