Investing in good-quality hair extensions is just the beginning. To keep them looking fresh, shiny, and natural for months, you need to follow the right care routine. At Hair On Hair, we design extensions that are easy to maintain, but with a little extra love, they’ll last you even longer.
This blog covers the essential do’s and don’ts of caring for your clip-in buns, ponytails, streaks, and volumisers.
The Do’s of Hair Extension Care
✅ 1. Wash Gently and Infrequently
Extensions don’t get oily like your natural scalp hair, so they don’t need frequent washing. Wash only after 10–15 wears or when you notice product buildup. Use a mild, sulfate-free shampoo and lukewarm water.
✅ 2. Condition for Softness
Always follow up with a gentle conditioner. This keeps your extensions soft and tangle-free.
✅ 3. Air Dry Only
Pat dry with a towel and let them air dry naturally. Heat drying can cause frizz and reduce the lifespan of the extensions.
✅ 4. Store Properly
After each use, detangle with a wide-tooth comb and store in a pouch or box in a cool, dry place.
✅ 5. Brush Carefully
Use a soft-bristle or wide-tooth comb. Start brushing from the ends and work your way up to avoid breakage.
The Don’ts of Hair Extension Care
❌ 1. Don’t Sleep with Extensions On
This can cause tangling, matting, and breakage. Always remove them before bed.
❌ 2. Don’t Use Excessive Heat
Flat irons and curlers are fine in moderation, but constant high heat will damage the fibers. If you must style, keep tools on a low to medium setting.
❌ 3. Don’t Swim with Extensions
Chlorine and salt water can damage the texture and color of your extensions. Remove them before swimming.
❌ 4. Don’t Use Heavy Oils or Serums
Extensions don’t receive natural scalp oils. Heavy serums only make them greasy and difficult to wash.
