Wash your hair extension with gentle products. Shampoo the extension with a moisturizing shampoo and avoid using a shampoo that contains sulfate as they will strip your hair and the extension of moisture. Sulfates will also cause your extension and hair to frizz and dry out.

• Conditioning

Use a conditioner that will condition and add shine to the hair extension.

• Drying the Human have Extension

Air dry the extension and ensure that you don’t comb the extension while its dry as this will cause tangling and breakage.  Don’t go to bed with a wet extension as this will tangle the hair and cause damage.
