How to wash hair with extensions?
Washing hair with extensions requires special care to protect both your natural hair and the extensions. Here is a step-by-step guide on how to do it correctly:
- Detangle: Before wetting your hair, use a soft brush or wide-tooth comb to gently detangle, starting at the ends and working your way towards the roots. Avoid pulling on the extensions.
- Wetting the hair: Wet your hair gradually with lukewarm water to avoid tangles. Avoid rubbing the extensions or piling the hair on top of the head.
- Shampoo: Use a mild shampoo, preferably one recommended for extensions. Apply the shampoo to your hands and then gently distribute it over the scalp and along the extensions. Do not rub vigorously; massage the scalp and hair with gentle, vertical movements.
- Rinse: Rinse the shampoo with lukewarm water. Make sure the water flows in the direction of the hair, from the scalp to the ends, to avoid tangles.
- Apply conditioner: Apply conditioner from the middle of the hair towards the ends, avoiding applying it directly to the attachment points of the extensions to avoid loosening them. Leave the conditioner on for a few minutes.
- Rinse thoroughly: Rinse the conditioner thoroughly with cold water to close the hair cuticles, which helps maintain shine and softness.
- Towel dry: Towel dry hair by gently dabbing or wrapping hair gently without rubbing. This minimizes tugging and the risk of damaging the extensions.
- Air dry or blow dry: It is advisable to let your hair air dry whenever possible. If using a blow dryer, use a low setting and a diffuser, and keep the dryer a safe distance from the roots of the extensions so as not to damage the attachment points.
- Final brushing: Once the hair is dry, gently brush it again to untangle any remaining tangles.
By following these steps, you can keep your extensions and your natural hair in good condition, minimizing damage and prolonging the life of the extensions. However, if you have any doubts about how to treat them correctly, it's best to consult a professional stylist.

How often should I wash my hair with extensions?
How often you should wash your hair with extensions can vary depending on the type of extensions, your hair type and your daily activities. Here are some general guidelines to consider:
Type of extensions
- Clip-in extensions: You can wash them every 15-20 uses or when you see that they are visibly dirty or have product build-up.
- Sewn, glued or micro-ring extensions: Generally, it is advisable to wash them no more than 2-3 times a week to avoid excessive manipulation and possible damage.
Hair type
- Oily hair: If your natural hair is oily, you may need to wash it more often, but try to limit washing to 2-3 times a week and use specific products to control oil.
- Dry or normal hair: You can wash it once or twice a week, which helps keep the extensions in better condition for longer.
Lifestyle
- If you do activities that make you sweat a lot, such as exercising regularly, you may need to wash your hair a little more frequently to keep your scalp clean and healthy.
Washing care
- Use gentle products designed for extensions or treated hair. Avoid rubbing the extensions directly and concentrate washing on the scalp and natural hair near the roots.
- Be sure to properly dry the roots and attachment points of the extensions to avoid mildew or odors.
