Extensions Care Guide

 

You’ve Got Your Dream Hair… Now What?

Your new extensions are an investment, and a little extra love goes a long way! To keep your hair looking and feeling its best, we’ve put together a few simple do’s and don’ts. Follow these tips to keep your extensions beautiful, healthy, and long-lasting between salon visits.

Do!

  • Keep your extensions clean, dry, and well-brushed — this helps them stay smooth, full, and tangle-free.

  • Schedule regular maintenance appointments every 6–8 weeks to keep your extensions looking their best.

  • Treat yourself — extensions can be glossed or receive smoothing treatments when done by your stylist.

  • Rock high ponytails and chic updos — just keep the styling gentle.

  • Keep your blondes BRIGHT & beautiful — Oribe’s Bright Blonde line is your best friend.

  • Use a mineral sunscreen (we love Sun Bum Mineral SPF) to help prevent discoloration.

  • Toss a detangler in your beach bag to keep your extensions soft and protected.

  • Brush with a stylist-approved tool (our favorite is the Tangle Teaser Brush).

  • Live your best life with your new extensions — vacations, weddings, photo shoots, workouts, or just everyday glam!

Don't!

  • Stress about washing daily — a quality dry shampoo or texturizing spray is your best friend!

  • Forget that extensions are a luxury service and should be treated with care.

  • Trust just anyone to install or maintain your extensions — always visit a certified extension stylist.

  • Pull your wefts too tight — they're strong, but they're also an investment!

  • Let sunscreen turn your extensions pink or coral — avoid Avobenzone and Oxybenzone.

  • Skip protecting your color — proper care is key to keeping your hair silky, shiny, and healthy.

  • Forget to brush thoroughly morning and night.

  • Dive into the pool or ocean without protecting your extensions from chlorine and saltwater.

  • Hesitate to reach out with questions — we're always happy to help!
