Care for Your Hair Extensions with These Tips

By



Hair extensions can instantly add the length, volume, and drama that people spend years trying to grow. But once they're in, the real secret to keeping them looking seamless is maintenance. Since extensions don't receive natural oils from the scalp the same way your own hair does, a little extra attention goes a long way. A proper care routine can keep them smooth and shiny, helping them blend naturally with your real locks for longer.

If you're adding a bit of length this season, these simple extension care tips can help protect your investment.

Start with Gentle Cleansing to Care for Extensions

Extensions require gentle care, so it’s important to choose high-quality, extension-safe products for every step of your regimen. When building your extension care starter kit, choose products for an in-shower routine that are tailored to your needs.

If you’re a blonde and notice a bit of brass peeking through, opt for a toning purple shampoo and a moisturizing non-toning purple conditioner. But if your strands don’t need the toning boost, stick with a moisture-enriched shampoo and conditioner.

 Cleansing tip: Be sure to focus shampoo on the scalp. That said, be careful not to pull up or slip fingers through or under the extension at the scalp. It’s important to be cautious around the attachment points and to avoid rough rubbing.

Detangle Carefully to Protect Length

When you have extensions, whether taped in, sewn in, or beaded, brushing requires a bit more patience and care. The best practice is to use a lightweight hair detangler after washing your strands. Simply towel-dry your locks, spray your detangler, and comb your strands from the ends to the roots, slowly detangling as you work your way up to avoid harsh pulling or friction on your extensions.

 Bonus tip: Look for a high-performance detangler, like the UNITE Hair 7SECONDS Detangler, that offers thermal and UV protection to help protect your strands.

Maintain Smoothness Between Washes

When you're working with day two locks, keep in mind that although you’ve got some oil coming through on your scalp, your extensions may still be dry. Leave-in products can be a great addition to your between-wash care. And if you’re confused where to start, there are a ton of lightweight products that can add a bit of life to your locks, including hydrating argan-infused oil products.
