Hair Extension Care Guide

DO ✓

  • Brush 2–3 times a day, starting at the ends and working up the strand while supporting the hair near the attachment points.

    We recommend: ERGO Super Gentle Brushes.

  • Use sulfate-free, color-safe shampoo and conditioner. Extension hair needs gentle cleansing and moisture.

    We recommend: Pureology Hydrate or Hydrate Sheer, Redken Acidic Bonding Concentrate, or L’Oréal Professionnel Vitamino Color.

  • Keep mids and ends moisturized with a lightweight leave-in, serum, or oil recommended by your stylist.

  • Dry your roots and attachment points completely after washing, swimming, or exercising.

  • Sleep with dry hair in a loose braid or low ponytail.

  • Keep up with your maintenance appointments on the schedule your stylist recommends.

  • Use mineral-based sunscreen only. Look for zinc oxide and/or titanium dioxide.

DON’T ✕

  • Don’t apply conditioner, oils, or masks directly to your attachment points.

  • Don’t sleep with wet hair.

  • Don’t aggressively brush, pull, or rub your extensions.

  • Don’t put direct heat on bonds, tape, or attachment areas.

  • Don’t remove extensions yourself.

  • Don’t use chemical sunscreens. They can transfer onto extension hair and may cause discoloration, dryness or tangling.

WASH DAY

  1. Brush before washing.

  2. Shampoo gently at the scalp.

  3. Condition mids and ends only.

  4. Avoid rubbing or bunching the hair.

  5. Apply your recommended leave-in and heat protectant.

  6. Dry attachment points completely.

  • Dry your hair and attachment points thoroughly afterward.

SUN

  • Mineral sunscreen only.

  • Keep sunscreen and self-tanner away from your extensions whenever possible.

  • Wash your hands after applying sunscreen before touching your hair.

  • Secure your hair before swimming.

  • Rinse and wash after chlorine, salt water or mineral-heavy water exposure.
