Taking Care of Synthetic Extensions

Even though your hair extensions in White Plains, NY, look like your natural hair, remember they are synthetic. This means you take care of them differently than you would your natural hair. When washing and conditioning your extensions, take the time to treat them right, and they’ll look as good as new for months.

The general rule of thumb is to wash your extensions in White Plains, NY, every two weeks. You can make that once a month when you don’t use hairspray. Here are the steps to follow:

Brush your hair.
Fill a sink with cold or lukewarm water. Hot water may change the texture.
Put a couple dollops of shampoo into the water

Use a gentle shampoo, like the products made for babies or made for use with synthetic hair.
Place your hair in the water and gently swish the White Plains, NY, hair extensions around.
Rinse with cool water.

Using Conditioner
Pour a little conditioner into a sink filled with cool water.

Swish your extensions around in the basin.

Leave the conditioner in the hair.

Drying Your Hair

Gently squeeze out the water and let extensions air dry.
Use only a wide-toothed comb or your fingers. No hairbrush.
