Clip-In Extensions - Washing:
- Carefully detangle the hair extensions from clips to ends with a wide tooth comb.
- Holding your hair extensions from the clips, apply a gentle flow of water, allowing it to run down the length of the hair.
- Using tepid water carefully shampoo the hair with either moisturising or detangling shampoo. Without rubbing of twisting the hair, gently squeeze out the shampoo from clip to ends.
- Rinse with clean, tepid water.
- Gently squeeze out the excess water and pat/towel dry. Avoid rolling or rubbing the hair dry in a towel.
- Again, with a wide tooth comb carefully detangle the hair. Start with the ends and gradually move upwards to remove any tangles, be careful not to pull too hard. Do not brush when wet!
- Let the hair extensions air dry. If you don’t have much time you can blow dry, make sure you use a low or cool setting.
- When the hair is completely dry, store with clips closed to avoid tangling.
Weft Extensions:
Weft hair extensions can either be clipped in or sewn in. For clip in weft extensions you can follow the above steps to maintain your hair. Below are some tips you can follow when caring for sewn in weft extensions:
- At night wrap your hair in a silk scarf and stocking (stocking is to keep the scarf in place).
- Try styling your weave a maximum of twice a week.
- Try not to put your hair into a ponytail too often or too tight.
- If your weave is curly then part into four sections at night to ensure no tangling.
- At least once a week go through your rows and apply a moisturising hair and scalp cream.
- Don’t put any type of grease or oil on your weave, i.e. olive oil sheen.
- Shedding of extensions is normal as extensions have been cut at the track.
- When sleeping make sure the closure piece is held down firmly.
I hope these hair care tips will come in handy and extend the life of your hair extensions. For more information about clip in and weft hair extensions visit our website at:
