Deep Conditioning Your Hair Extensions

Deep conditioning hair extensions, is it necessary to do this? No, you don't have to, but if you want to keep your extensions in tip top shape and full of moisture I highly suggest you do.

This can be done almost the same way as your own hair expect for a few different steps.

First step- Make sure to remove any tangles using a big wide tooth comb. If there is tangles mist the hair lightly with a water and conditioner spritz.

Second step- Decide on which type of conditioner you want to use. An egg and mayonnaise mask, banana and honey, avocado and olive oil, or strawberries, oil, and egg? Prepare and mix.

Third step- Grab a towel to lay the extensions on, plastic processing cap, bowl, wide comb, dryer, and one huge claw clip.

Fourth step- One at a time dip the hairpiece into the bowl. Lightly smoosh it around to make sure all strands are receiving treatment. Repeat until you have all of them covered.

Fifth step- Place them all together and clip at the top with claw. You do not have to apply pressure just do it gently. Cover the bunch up with the processing cap. Leave on for 30 minutes.

Last step- Undo the bag and remove the claw. One at a time rinse it off with lukewarm or cold water. I prefer using cold water, because it gives the hair more shine, and protects any color on them. Air dry or use a wet to dry iron. When done apply a tiny amount of hair serum on each one.

If you have the glued in ones then just deep condition like normal and follow the instructions above.

What Not To Do

Although these are like your own, do NOT wear them to bed. If you do they will get extremely tangles, and bunch up underneath making your hair look like a birds nest. Also the clips can accidentally fall out when sleeping, and start to loosen up. Then you will have to resew them back on. I never had this happen to me before, but I never made it a habit to find out. It's just like anything you fall asleep with in your hair, it can get ruined.

One more thing DO NOT use a hard bristle brush. Use a soft paddle brush and gently work your way up from the bottom of the hair to the top of the hair. Don't be aggressive, remember gently is the key word here.
