Care & Maintenance

To maximize the longevity, health, and beauty of your hair extensions, follow these expert do’s and don’ts. Proper care ensures your investment stays seamless, natural, and luxurious.

Do:

• Use moisturizing, hydrating shampoo and conditioner (always paraben- and sulfate-free).
   
• Brush and detangle at least twice a day with a boar bristle brush, starting at the ends.
   
• Always apply a thermal heat protectant before styling.
   
• If you wear hand-tied hair extensions, always fully dry the top of the hair extensions to prevent swelling or damage. Genius weft hair extensions, however, can air-dry naturally without concern. For best results, blow-dry your hair extensions to about 80% dry with your hands before styling.
   
• Apply extension-safe oil after styling — hair extensions are porous and need hydration.
   
• Sleep with freshly brushed hair in a loose bun or braid.
   
• Be mindful of purse straps, backpacks, and luggage pulling on your hair extensions.
   

• Avoid protein-based products (Olaplex, Moroccan Oil, keratin, or “repair/reconstruct” formulas), which can cause breakage.
   
• Never use sunscreens with Avobenzone or Oxybenzone — these will turn hair extensions peach permanently - opt for mineral-based sunscreen only.
   
• If swimming, protect hair extensions with a swim cap or saturate with conditioner or mask beforehand, then wash immediately after. Saltwater and chlorine can discolor hair extensions.
   
• Don’t use excessive heat on blow dryers or hot tools.
   
• Never sleep with wet hair — it causes matting, tangles, and damage to hair extensions.
   
• Avoid purple shampoos and conditioners on hair extensions, which can cause unwanted discoloration.
