How to Care for Your Hair Extensions and Make Them Last Longer

Hair extensions are an investment, and with the right care, they can last months — even years. Here’s how to keep them looking brand new:

1. Washing Extensions

• Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.

• Wash gently in lukewarm water, never scrubbing or twisting.

• Pat dry with a towel instead of rubbing.

2. Styling

• Use heat protectant spray before curling or straightening.

• Avoid excessive heat to maintain longevity.

• Opt for silk scrunchies and pillowcases to prevent tangling.

3. Storage

• Store clip-ins in a satin bag or extension hanger.

• Never sleep with clip-ins or tape-ins unless professionally installed.

4. General Tips

• Brush gently with a wide-tooth comb.

• Avoid heavy oils near tape or clip bases.

• Deep condition regularly for softness and shine.

👉 Pro Tip: With proper care, 100% human hair extensions can last 6 months to 3 years. Treat them like your natural hair and they’ll keep looking flawless.
