By following these steps, your ponytail extensions will stay soft, shiny, and secure for many uses! ✨
1. Washing and Conditioning 🧴
- Brush gently with a wide-tooth comb to remove tangles.
- Rinse in lukewarm water (avoid hot water, which damages the hair cuticle).
- Apply sulfate-free shampoo in a downward motion (never scrub or twist).
- Condition mid-lengths to ends (avoid the attachment area/clips).
- Rinse thoroughly and squeeze out excess water (don’t wring).
- Air-dry flat on a towel, away from direct heat or sunlight.
2. Drying and Styling 🪮
- Air-dry extensions whenever possible.
- Use a heat protectant spray before styling. Keep tools below 365°F (180°C).
3. Daily Use and Maintenance 💆♀️
- Use a soft-bristle brush or loop brush designed for extensions. Start brushing from the ends and work upward to prevent tugging.
- Don’t sleep in extensions (remove before bed).
4. Storage 📦
- Brush before storing and ensure extensions are tangle-free.
- Place in a silk pouch or breathable fabric bag.
- Store in a cool, dry place (avoid bathrooms due to humidity).
5. Avoiding Damage ⚠️
- Human hair can be dyed, but Use a professional or semi-permanent dye and avoid frequent coloring (it dries out the hair).
- Regularly snip frayed ends to maintain a polished look.
