How to Ruin Hair Extensions

Even with quality products, it is possible to ruin your hair extensions if you don't take special care of them.

We put together some tips to ensure you are keeping your extensions in great condition. If you don't follow the steps below, you could possibly ruin your extensions!

Here are some specific tips to help you care for your extensions:

Human hair extensions can be treated as real hair, but do so more gently.

Use a special brush (often a loop brush) made just for extensions, so you don't damage the new hair or the bond. And make sure to brush but not often.

A gentle shampoo is recommended, and use cool water to help minimize tangles. We sell special shampoo at the store and online but a gentle drugstore shampoo also works.

A light conditioner will help reduce tangling and keep your new hair supple. Don't over condition the hair or it will look greasy, like any hair would.

Sleep with your hair in a ponytail or braid to avoid bed-head and knots. Again, you don't want to over brush the hair.

If you party in your hair, sleep in your hair without keeping it tied together, or you spent hours brushing it- the hair will become damaged- as would your own hair- and your extensions could even be ruined.
