How to Properly Shampoo Your Extensions Before Us

Many women today are wearing their beautiful hair extensions, but many are not aware of what to do before applying them. Here are a few steps to take before installing your Hypnotic Hair. 
  1. Detangle Your Hair Extensions - With a wide-tooth comb start from the ends of your extensions. Comb through gently being sure to not pull the hair from the weft. Do this before beginning to wash in order to give them a proper cleanse and truly clean away any dirt or grim.
  2. Use Warm Water (room temperature) - Fill a sink or bucket with warm water. It is VERY IMPORTANT that you don’t use hot water, as this can damage extensions and cause them to wear away easier and appear more dull. Make sure the water isn’t cold either, as this will not properly cleanse the oils and dirt away.
  3. Soak Extensions - Hold your extension by the weft and make sure you dip it all the way in up until that point. You don’t want to get water on the weft of the extension, as this can ruin it and make it very difficult to attach again. Just as you would with your natural hair, run a comb gently through the hair extensions to ensure you are wetting all hair pieces for a full and proper cleanse.
  4.  Lather, Rinse, & Repeat - select a Sulfate/Paraben Free shampoo that’s gentle and moisturizing. Lather, rinse and repeat.
