Many people have reported that their hair extensions become dry, tangled, and lack shine after wearing them a few times. This is mostly due to incorrect washing and storage methods. By mastering simple care steps, hair extensions can be reused for over half a year.
Cleaning frequency recommendation: Wear more than 3 times a week, clean once every 7-10 days; for occasional wear, clean after 15 days. During cleaning, avoid hot water and soak in cold water below 30℃. Use hair extension-specific shampoo and conditioner. Ordinary shampoo will damage the hair strands' cuticles, causing dryness and brittleness.
The cleaning method should be gentle. Do not rub or twist. Press from top to bottom along the hair strands to clean. After washing, squeeze out the water, apply a small amount of care spray and let it stand for 5 minutes, then rinse with clean water. Do not use a hair dryer to dry at high temperatures. Lay the hair extensions flat on the hair extension stand to dry naturally in the shade. Sun exposure will make the hair strands yellow and brittle.
Daily combing has its own rules: For dry hair, use a wide-toothed comb to slowly comb from the ends upwards. Do not forcefully pull at the knots. Dip in a little care spray to soften and then smooth out. For curly hair, do not straighten it with a comb. Use your fingers to gently straighten the curl pattern to avoid it from spreading out and becoming frizzy.
Storage is crucial. When not wearing, put on the original net cover and hang it on the hair extension stand to prevent squeezing and deformation. For long-term storage, clean it thoroughly, dry it, and store it in a sealed container. Avoid damp and high-temperature environments to prevent the growth of odors.
Additional tips: Spray a small amount of hair extension smoothing spray to instantly restore smoothness. A small amount of hair loss is normal. Before each combing, gently shake the hair strands and clean up the loose hair. Simple and consistent care will make the hair extensions smooth and natural as new.
