How to Wash 'n' Go!

Extensions reward a gentle, consistent routine. Two habits matter more than anything else: how you wash and how you sleep.

Washing

• Wait 48 hours after a fresh install before the first wash.
• Wash 2–3 times a week, not daily — over-washing dries out the hair.
• Use a sulfate-free shampoo and focus it on the scalp, not the lengths.
• Apply conditioner from mid-length to ends only — never on the bonds or braided base.
• Rinse with cool-to-lukewarm water and don't pile hair on top of your head.

Drying

• Gently squeeze out water with a microfibre towel — don't rub.
• Never sleep on wet hair. Damp bonds and braids loosen and tangle.
• If blow-drying, use a low-heat setting and dry the roots/base first.

Brushing

• Use a loop brush or a wide-tooth comb made for extensions.
• Start at the ends and work upwards, holding the hair at the root to avoid tugging the base.
• Brush morning and night, and always before washing.

Sleeping

This is where most damage quietly happens:

1. Make sure hair is fully dry.
2. Tie it in a loose braid or low, loose ponytail.
3. Use a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and frizz.

What to avoid

• Sulfates, and heavy silicone or oil-based products near the roots
• Purple/toning shampoos unless your stylist recommends one
• Chlorine and salt water without rinsing and protecting first

Stick to this and your extensions stay soft, shiny, and tangle-free between maintenance visits.
