Getting extensions is so exciting but can also be a big transformation. It’s time to ensure they stay looking stunning for as long as possible. Proper maintenance is key to preserving the beauty and integrity of your extensions, so we’ve asked the experts and compiled a list of essential tips to help you keep your extensions in top-notch condition. From nighttime care to professional touch-ups, here’s everything you need to know to maintain your extensions with ease.
1. Protect Your Extensions While You Sleep:
One of the simplest yet most effective ways to maintain your extensions is to protect them while you sleep. Invest in a satin bonnet or switch to a satin pillowcase to minimize friction and prevent tangling. Unlike cotton, satin is gentle on your hair and reduces friction, helping to keep your extensions smooth and tangle-free while you catch those Z’s.

2. Schedule Maintenance Appointments Ahead of Time:
Regular maintenance appointments are essential for keeping your extensions looking their best. Scheduling touch-up appointments ahead of time ensures that your stylist can address any maintenance needs before they become problematic. From row refreshes to row move ups, staying on top of your maintenance schedule is key to preserving the longevity of your hair.
3. Indulge in Deep Treatments:
Just like your natural hair, extensions can benefit from regular deep treatments to keep them looking and feeling their best. Treat yourself to a luxurious deep conditioning treatment once a week to nourish your hair and maintain its moisture balance. Look for products specifically formulated for extensions, and focus on applying the treatment from mid-length to the ends to avoid weighing down your roots. We recommend Oribe to all of our clients!
Maintenance is key
With these simple maintenance tips, you’ll be well-equipped to keep your extensions looking flawless for weeks to come. From investing in satin sleep accessories to scheduling regular maintenance appointments, taking care of your extensions is a breeze when you know what to do. Remember, a little TLC goes a long way when it comes to maintaining the beauty and longevity of your hair extensions
