how to properly wash your hair extensions
Hair extensions are a great way to add volume and length to your hair, but it's important to take care of them properly to ensure they last as long as possible. One of the most important things you can do to care for your hair extensions is to wash them regularly. Here are some tips for washing your hair extensions:
Brush your hair extensions thoroughly before washing them to remove any knots or tangles.
Use a gentle shampoo specifically designed for hair extensions. Avoid using a clarifying shampoo or any shampoo that contains sulfates, as these can damage the hair and strip it of its natural oils.
Wet your hair extensions with lukewarm water and apply a small amount of shampoo to your scalp. Gently massage your scalp with your fingertips, being careful not to rub or pull on the extensions.
Rinse your hair extensions thoroughly with lukewarm water, making sure to remove all the shampoo.
Apply a conditioner to the mid-lengths and ends of your hair extensions, avoiding the roots. Leave the conditioner in for a few minutes, then rinse thoroughly.
Gently squeeze out any excess water from your hair extensions and pat them dry with a towel. Avoid rubbing the hair with the towel, as this can cause damage and tangling.
Let your hair extensions air dry or use a blow dryer on a low heat setting. If you're using a blow dryer, use a round brush to gently smooth out any tangles while you dry your hair.
By following these tips, you can keep your hair extensions looking beautiful and healthy for longer.
