Brushing Your Hair Extensions

Brushing is one of the most important steps in hair extension maintenance. Regular brushing prevents tangling, matting, and unnecessary tension on your natural hair.

Watch the brushing tutorial:

Key Brushing Tips

• Brush your hair and extensions every day.
• Start at the ends and work your way up to the top.
• Use a Wet Brush or a wide-tooth comb.
• Hold your extensions while brushing to prevent pulling.
• Use the flat side of the comb when brushing near attachment points.
• Section your hair with alligator clips for easier brushing.
• Brush the natural hair in between each row of extensions.

Shampooing Your Hair Extensions

Washing extensions properly keeps the hair fresh, clean, and free from product buildup. For ideal hair extension maintenance, wash your hair 1–2 times per week using sulfate-free products.

Watch the shampooing tutorial:

Key Shampooing Tips

• Fully saturate your hair with water before applying shampoo.
• Use a moisturizing, sulfate-free, pH-balanced shampoo.
• Gently squeeze the shampoo through your hair—do not rub or scrub aggressively.
• If extensions feel loose, gently cleanse the scalp using the wefts as support.
• Rinse thoroughly and repeat shampooing 2–3 times as needed.

Conditioning Your Hair Extensions

Conditioning keeps extensions soft, smooth, and manageable. Always condition after every shampoo session to keep the ends hydrated.

Watch the conditioning tutorial:

Key Conditioning Tips

• Use pH-balanced, paraben-free, sodium chloride-free conditioner.
• Apply conditioner only to mids and ends—never to the scalp.
• Avoid getting conditioner on attachment points (it can loosen extensions).
• Comb the conditioner through the hair following the brushing method in Video 1.
• For fine or oily hair, apply conditioner only to the very ends.
• Finish with a leave-in conditioner and light serum on the ends.
