Hair extensions from Elite Hair Collection are a premium investment, and just like your natural hair, they need the proper care and attention to maintain their luxurious look and feel. Washing and conditioning them properly not only keeps them looking fresh but also extends their lifespan, allowing you to get the most out of your investment. Follow these steps to keep your Elite Hair Collection extensions soft, silky, and shiny.
Detangle Before Washing
Before wetting your extensions, gently detangle them using a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for extensions. Start at the ends and work your way up to the roots to minimize breakage. Detangling beforehand ensures your extensions won’t get matted or tangled during the washing process.
2. Use Sulfate-Free Shampoo
Once your extensions are tangle-free, prepare to wash them with a sulfate-free shampoo. Sulfates can strip the natural oils from the hair, leaving your extensions dry and brittle. A gentle, hydrating shampoo is best to maintain the health and luster of the extensions. Apply the shampoo starting from the mid-shaft down to the ends, as this is where the most buildup occurs. Avoid scrubbing vigorously, which can cause tangling.
3. Condition with Care
Conditioning is crucial to keeping your extensions soft and manageable. After shampooing, apply a moisturizing conditioner generously, focusing on the ends of the hair. Let it sit for about 5-10 minutes to deeply hydrate the strands. Rinse thoroughly, but again, avoid vigorous rubbing or scrubbing, as this can lead to tangling or damage.
4. Air Dry Whenever Possible
To preserve the integrity of your extensions, it’s best to let them air dry. Pat them gently with a towel to remove excess water, but avoid twisting or wringing them out. Lay the extensions flat on a towel to dry, or hang them up in a well-ventilated area. If you’re in a hurry, use a blow dryer on a cool setting to avoid heat damage.
5. Moisturize and Protect
After washing and drying, apply a leave-in conditioner or a light serum to keep the hair moisturized. Avoid heavy products that can weigh the hair down or cause buildup. If you plan on using heat styling tools, always use a heat protectant to safeguard your extensions from damage.
By following these steps, your Elite Hair Collection Extensions will maintain their softness, shine, and longevity. Treat them with the care they deserve, and they’ll continue to look flawless with each wear.
