How to Care for Hair Extensions: A Complete Maintenance Guide**
## **Introduction**
Virgin remy Hair extensions are a fantastic way to add length, volume, and versatility to your hair. Whether you wear clip-ins, tape-ins, sew-ins, or fusion extensions, proper care is essential to keep them looking smooth, shiny, and natural for as long as possible.
In this guide, we’ll cover the **best practices for washing, styling, and storing** your extensions to maximize their lifespan.

## **1. Washing Your Hair Extensions**
### **How Often Should You Wash Them?**
- **Clip-ins & Tape-ins:** Wash every **10-15 wears** (or when they feel dirty).
- **Sew-ins & Fusion extensions:** Wash **once a week** to prevent buildup.
### **Step-by-Step Washing Guide**
✔ **Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo & Conditioner**
- Harsh sulfates strip natural oils, making extensions dry and brittle.
- Opt for **hydrating, silicone-free** formulas.
✔ **Wash in Cool/Lukewarm Water**
- Hot water can loosen bonds (for tape-ins/glue-ins) and cause frizz.
✔ **Gently Detangle Before Washing**
- Use a **wide-tooth comb** or fingers to remove knots.
✔ **Apply Shampoo from Mid-Length to Ends**
- Avoid rubbing the roots (especially for bonded extensions).
✔ **Condition Thoroughly**
- Focus on the ends, leave conditioner for **3-5 minutes**, then rinse.
✔ **Air Dry or Use Low Heat**
- Never sleep with wet extensions—they can tangle and develop mildew.

## **2. Styling & Heat Protection**
### **Can You Use Heat Tools?**
✅ **Yes, but with caution:**
- Use a **heat protectant spray** (230°F/110°C max for synthetic hair, 350°F/175°C for human hair).
- Avoid daily heat styling to prevent damage.
### **Best Styling Practices**
✔ **Blow-Dry on Low Heat**
✔ **Curling/Waving: Use Medium Heat & Clamp-Free Irons**
✔ **Avoid Excessive Bleaching/Dyeing** (especially for pre-colored extensions)

## **3. Sleeping & Daily Care Tips**
### **How to Sleep with Extensions**
- **Braids or Loose Ponytail:** Prevents tangling.
- **Silk/Satin Pillowcase:** Reduces friction and frizz.
