Hair extensions can help you get the longer and fuller locks you’ve always wanted, making it easier to rock whatever hairstyle you want. A hairstylist can put in your hair extensions, so they’ll be sure to look great, but you’ll have to know how to take care of them to keep them that way. Keep reading to find out if you can wash your hair extensions and get answers to other essential extension questions:
Can you wash hair extensions?
You can wash your hair extensions, but the type of care they’ll require depends on the type of extensions you choose. If you have clip-in extensions, you should remove them, comb them, and let them soak in warm water before shampooing and conditioning them. If you have a weave, you should first add a moisturizer to your hair, then clarify it, then wash it with a gentle shampoo and follow up with conditioner.
Do hair extensions damage hair?
You might worry that attaching extensions to your hair will damage it, which is why you should visit a professional hairstylist instead of trying to do this yourself at home. Your hairstylist will be able to properly attach the extensions so that they look beautiful and natural without damaging any of your real hair.
Can you use styling tools on hair extensions?
One of the most popular reasons why people get hair extensions is to have more hair to try out different types of hair styles. You can use styling tools on hair extensions, but it’s important to know what kind you have so that you know what precautions to take. If you have synthetic extensions, you should look for a product that will protect them from the heat. Avoid overdoing it with the hot styling tools and remember to care for extensions just like they’re your natural hair.
