But how to care the hair extension and make it last for a longer time? It is all about the products you use and the way you care for them. Now, let’s check out the tips and tricks.
1. choose good quality hair extensions
Not all the hair extensions are created equally, some low quality hair are synthetic hair or mixed, which can't be used again after a few washes. The seemingly cheap hair extensions are actually expensive, for they can last only for a short time. Therefore, you need to choose good quality hair extensions.

2. Keep the hair clean.
Just like your own hair, you should clean your extensions properly.we suggest wash it at least once or twice a week with lukewarm water. Please wash the hair immediately after swimming, spa, exercise, and etc. When dirt and sweat accumulate, hair will tangle. Some mount of leave-in conditioners and other hair care products is necessary, but too much will create a build up on the hair and will cause it to tangle faster. If the hair feels dry or heavy with build up, wash it with good shampoo & conditioner.
3.Use the right shampoo and conditioner
Use the suitable and high quality shampoo and conditioner, and you should know that not all shampoos and conditioners are right for your extensions. You should select gentle, moisturizing and low pH shampoos and avoid anti-dandruff shampoos, because and there are sulfates in their composition. If your shampoo is wrong, the extensions may dry out very quickly, get tangled, and be impossible to use anymore. However, keep in mind that even if your shampoo is good, do not shampoo your hair too frequently or it will make your hair drier. We suggest that you shampoo your hair 2-3 times a week just like you do with your own hair. But you can use conditioner daily, for it is good for hydration.
4. Avoid clips getting wet
Clip-in extensions are easy to both apply and remove, so make sure your clip-in hair extensions are removed before showering or swimming. Because the metal used in the clips can get rusty or damaged by water. A well cared clip will last for long.
5.Comb your hair extensions frequently
In order to prevent the hair from tangling, you should comb your hair and extensions at least once a day. Because people lose quite a few hairs every day, and your extensions can get tangled easily if you don’t brush your hair to get those off, which will cause greater problems. Remember to comb your hair gently and with a wide-tooth comb. If you cannot remove the tangles in the dry extension dry, try moistening the hair with moisturizer. What’s more, you should also brush the hair extension before and after washing it to maintain it smooth.
6.Turn the Heat Down
When you shower or wash your hair, you shouldn’t use the hot water but lukewarm water, because steaming hot water swells the hair shaft and forces it open, particularly when the follicles are already vulnerable. The hair struggles to recover when you come to styling, moisture leaks out. You can try a quick blast of cold water when you’re finishing. That will help to close hair shafts and lock hydration inside.
Avoid using the straightener, blow-dryer, or curling iron, for they will do harm to your hair and make you hair brittle and dry. If you have to use, you should turn down the heat and shorten the time.
7.Remove your hair extension before go to bed
In order to keep your hair extensions in a good condition, you should be careful about the way to go to bed. It is mandatory to remove your clip in hair extensions before going to bed. Sleeping with hair extensions will not only get the hair tangled, but also damage the clips. Once the extension get tangled, it will look bad and will hardly look the same again. If the clips is broken, you won be able to use your extensions anymore.
8. Nourishing treatment
Being dry is the biggest enemy of beautiful and charming hair extensions. You should use a nourishing treatment at least once a month to keep your clip in hair extensions soft and natural like your real hair. You’d better use high quality products to prolong the life of your extensions as much as possible.
