Daily Care Routine for Weft Hair
1. Comb with Care
When caring for weft hair extensions, always brush before washing.
Always use a wide-tooth comb or a soft bristle brush to gently detangle your weft hair extensions. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid tugging or damaging the hair. For an easier process, spritz on a detangler spray before combing—it’s a game-changer for smooth, knot-free hair.
2. Wash Gently
Use sulfate-free shampoo to maintain weft hair extensions.
Your weft hair need a bath too! Use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner to keep them soft and shiny. Focus on washing the hair itself, avoiding where the extensions link to your natural hair, and rinse thoroughly to prevent shampoo residue. When washing weft hair extensions, always use cold water to prevent damage. Washing them every 7-10 wears is usually enough to keep them fresh.
3. Dry & Pamper
After washing, gently pat your extensions dry with a towel—no rubbing! Let them air dry or use a blow dryer on a low or cool setting. Once dry, apply a drop or two of hair oil or serum to the ends to add shine and softness.
4. Style Smartly
Weft hair extensions can handle heat styling, but always use a heat protectant spray and keep the temperature below 180°C (356°F). Avoid bleaching or harsh coloring—stick to darker shades if you want to change the color.
