1. The Importance of Routine Maintenance

Your hair extensions are an investment, and like any investment, you want to protect and preserve their value. Regular maintenance ensures that your extensions stay in good shape, blend seamlessly with your natural hair, and last longer. Skipping maintenance can lead to matting, tangling, and even damage to your natural hair.

2. The Top At-Home Hair Extensions Maintenance Tips

Brushing: Use a special hair extension brush or a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle your hair. Start at the ends and work your way up to the roots. Remember to always brush your hair before washing or styling.
Washing: Wash your hair every 2-3 days using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Focus on the scalp and avoid rubbing the bonds or tapes. Rinse thoroughly to prevent product buildup.
Drying: Pat your hair gently with a microfiber towel. Avoid rubbing or twisting the hair. Allow your hair to air dry or use a hairdryer with a diffuser attachment on low heat.
Styling: Use heat protectant spray before styling your hair with hot tools. Keep the temperature below 350°F (180°C) to prevent damage to your extensions.
Sleeping: Braid your hair loosely or tie it in a low ponytail before going to bed. This prevents tangles and friction that can damage your extensions and natural hair.

3. What NOT to Do with Your Hair Extensions

Avoid using oil-based products on or near the bonds or tapes. This can cause slippage and make the extensions fall out.
Don’t swim in chlorinated water or saltwater without protecting your extensions. Wet your hair with clean water and apply a leave-in conditioner before swimming.
Never go to bed with wet hair. Damp hair can cause your extensions to tangle and mat overnight.
Don’t attempt to remove or adjust your hair extensions at home. Visit The Extensions Studio by Fluff for professional assistance.
