1. Brush your hair extensions
Remove your extensions and carefully brush through them until they’re completely detangled.
2. Submerge the hair in water
Place the extensions in a bowl of water until they’re fully soaked, then apply the recommended shampoo. Work the shampoo gently through the hair, always moving in the direction of the strands to avoid tangling.
3. Rinse and repeat
Rinse the shampoo out thoroughly with clean water or under running water. Wash them once more to make sure all dirt and oils are removed. Rinse well until no shampoo remains.
4. Treat your extensions
Once the shampoo is rinsed out, gently squeeze out the excess water. Apply a hair mask or deep conditioner to the lengths and let it sit for 5–10 minutes before rinsing.
5. Finish with conditioner
A good conditioner helps seal the hair’s cuticle layer, making the extensions soft and easier to manage. Leave it on for 1–2 minutes, then rinse it out.
6. Remove excess water and brush again
After rinsing, squeeze out as much water as you can. Brush the extensions with an extensions-friendly brush and feel free to add some hair oil for extra smoothness.
7. Let the hair dry
You can let the extensions air-dry on a towel or use a blow dryer. If you blow-dry, remember to apply a heat protectant and dry the hair from top to bottom to reduce frizz.
8. Style as a final touch
When the hair is fully dry, you can style it with a flat iron or curling iron. This helps seal the cuticle and leaves the extensions soft and sleek. Don’t forget to apply heat protectant before styling.
