If you've just purchased hair extensions for the first time, it can be overwhelming to learn all of the rules about caring for and maintaining your new locks.

Properly caring for your extensions will not only extend the life of your locks but will also ensure that the hair looks healthy and real. It's easy to spot someone who doesn't take care of their extensions because their hair will look uneven, dull, and ratty. Never be this person!



Are you curious about learning some tips about how to take care of hair extensions? Here, we're going to teach you the best practices that will keep your extensions looking on fleek. Just keep on reading!

Invest In Quality Hair Extensions

The best way you can maintain the quality and appearance of your hair extensions is to invest in high-quality products only! Cheap extensions will be harder to maintain, will wear down more quickly, and won't look as natural as higher-end extensions.

Taking care of extensions will be so much easier if you're dealing with high-quality material. If you're looking to buy premium hair extensions that will last, shop our collection here!

Avoid Certain Products

Using hair products that aren't compatible with extensions could severely damage the look of your locks.

Always check the list of ingredients on any hair product before applying it on your extensions. Here are some ingredients you should never use on extensions:

• Sodium Lauryl Sulfate
• Alcohol Denat
• Ethanol
• SD Alcohol 40
• Propyl
• Isopropyl
• Propanol

Instead, make sure you're using alcohol-free and sulfate-free because they won't strip the hair of its natural oils and will prolong the life of your extensions while keeping them healthy-looking.

You should also avoid products like sticky gels, hair spray, or hair wax. They can lead to dry, tangled, brittle hair extensions.

Remember to avoid over-washing your extensions, too. Extensions that are washed too often can look dry and tangled. Also, keep in mind that any products that you apply to your natural hair can transfer onto your extensions, so choose wisely!

How To Brush Hair Extensions The Right Way

When you're taming your hair extensions, the first thing to keep in mind is to always be gentle. Brushing too roughly will result in damaged extensions that will only last a fraction of the time they should, so always be kind to your extensions while brushing!

Here's how you should be brushing your lovely locks:

1. Gather all of the hair together in one hand.
2. Start brushing from the bottom in light up and down motions.
3. Work your way up the hair as you untangle.
4. If there's a knot, isolate it and brush it by itself.

Remember that you should never brush your extensions when they're damp or wet. This could severely damage your hair extensions and lead to irreversible breakage.
