Taking care of natural hair extensions is very important. Keeping the hair clean is the first step. Gently comb through the hair with your fingers; detangling as many knots as possible. This allows the extensions to be washed without becoming snagged or pulled. Use a high moisture shampoo and conditioner with warm water to wash the extensions. Work your way from the roots to the tips in a gentle motion and avoid bunching the hair as it can create tension and knots. Once the extensions are clean, loosely wrap a towel around your hair to remove excess water.

Air drying is the best choice when styling extensions. It is important not to overheat extensions with a hairdryer or curling iron. When blow drying and brushing, it is best to start at the ends and work your way up to the roots. Being gentle is the key to taking care of hair extensions. Good care will increase the lifespan and overall look of the extensions.
