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

making them vulnerable to dehydration and structural harm without proper attention

Begin your routine by detangling with a wide-toothed comb or an extension-specific brush

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

This prevents knots from tightening during washing

Opt for a mild, tepid water temperature when rinsing

Excessive heat weakens the hair structure and leads to fraying

Select a nourishing shampoo labeled safe for extensions or chemically processed strands

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

concentrating on the middle and lower portions of the Human Hair Factory

Never rub near the tracks, clips, or tape bonds to prevent slippage

Treat the extensions with delicate motions to avoid fiber stress

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

Select a hydrating formula formulated to restore softness without weighing hair down

Keep conditioner away from the crown, bonds, and weft lines

Allow the product to penetrate for 3–5 minutes before rinsing

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

Never twist, pull, or scrub the strands vigorously

Air drying preserves integrity and reduces heat-related damage

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

Once fully dry, detangle from the tips upward using a soft-bristle brush

Wash your extensions every 15 to 20 wears or every one to two weeks depending on usage

Always store them on a wig stand or in a silk bag when not in use to maintain their shape and prevent tangling

Regular maintenance ensures your extensions remain lustrous, soft, and lifelike for over six months
