How to Wash Human Hair Extension correct way

As we all now, there are 4 types of human hair extension: Clip in, Tape, Tip and Ponytail. Each type has different features so you might be confused about how to take care of them, especially how to wash human hair extension in a correct way. Here I will show you steps by steps to wash your hair extension which can apply for every type.

How to wash human hair extension: Basic Knowledge

Firstly, you must know some basic knowledge about your human extension before we get to know how to wash human hair extension. Let’s get to know the characteristics of 4 different types of human hair extension.

The characteristics of 4 types of hair extension are:

• Clip-in: has a clip (rusty-resistant metal) attached at the top of the hair
• Tape: specialized tape at the top and sticks directly into natural hair
• Tip: attaches to your natural hair by heating up the keratin tip at the end of the extension
• Ponytail: attached firmly into a lace piece and then clips are put in the top part of the lace.

As you can see, among the 4 types of human hair extension, only Tip hair extension can not be removed frequently. The other 3 which are clip-in, tape and ponytail can be uninstalled when you want to wash it. Because Tip hair extension has already stuck firmly to your hair, you can wash it with your natural hair like usual but do not scratch your scalp too hard and remember to be gentle.

With Tape, Tip and Ponytail hair extension, it is highly recommended that wash it separately with your natural hair. This is the best way to take care of it because it will not get tangled with your natural hair so that there will be less shedding and last longer. 

How to wash human hair extension: Steps by steps

Get your hair ready and now we will get right into the steps to wash human hair extension in a correct way. Keep in mind that these apply for Tape, Tip and Ponytail only, which you must uninstall before the process. There are 4 steps to wash human hair extension are: brushing, shampoo, conditioner and drying.

Brushing

You must have read and been so familiar with this step but it is always good to note that your hair is tangle free when it is still dry before you wash human hair extension. If you skip this and wash your human hair extension immediately, you might experience hair shedding and tangle and it will become a mess that you can even run your finger through it. Therefore, remember to brush your hair extension carefully and thoroughly before getting it into water.

Shampoo

Here I will show you the most important step to wash human hair extension shared by experts: Shampooing. The process is:

• Prepare a large bow of warm water
• Add your favorite shampoo (best is organic product)
• Put your hair into the bow and leave it for 8-10 minutes
• After 10 minutes, rinse it off with clean water

You should pay attention to the tip of the hair extension whether it is Tape, Tip or Ponytail extension in order not to ruin it.

Conditioner

The third step to wash human hair extension is conditioning. Some people usually skip this step because they are lazy and have already done the cleaning step. This is the reason why your hair extension is dry and does not look so shiny. 

After washing off with shampoo, using a conditioner will neutralize your hair with vitamins and moisture. Apply the conditioner to your hair and leave it for 3-5 minutes then gentle rinse off with clean water. Squeeze the water out of the hair and remove excess water with a towel. 

Drying

After you wash human hair extension followed all the steps above, the last work you need to do is drying it. There are 2 common ways to dry hair extension which are blow-drying and natural drying.

• Blow drying: use a hair dryer to blow dry the hair thoroughly
• Natural drying: hang the hair and let it drying naturally under normal temperature

Heat is not a friendly friend to your human hair extension if you want to keep it shiny and rich. Therefore, natural drying is a better way to dry the hair but it takes much longer time then blow dry, especially during winter season. Blow drying is more preferable because it dries your hair in the matter of minutes.
