How to Condition Hair Extensions
- 1). Remember that hair extensions do not receive the natural oils that are generated from the scalp. Therefore, daily moisturizing is necessary. Use a moisturizing shampoo and purchase a deep-conditioning treatment, available at most grocery stores, drug stores or beauty-supply stores. Read ingredients when purchasing conditioner for hair extensions and avoid purchasing products with alcohol listed in the ingredients, as this can be overly drying for extensions.
- 2). Rinse hair after shampooing and squeeze out any extra water. Apply a quarter-shaped amount of conditioner and apply to the hair extensions, working through from roots to tips.
- 3). Leave conditioner in for two to three minutes. Rinse with cool water.
- 4). Gently remove excess water from the hair extensions with a towel. Apply a quarter-shaped amount of leave-in conditioner to the hair and work through with your fingers or a comb. Do not rinse.
- 5). Use a deep-conditioning hair mask on the hair extensions once or twice a week. Leave on the extensions for 30 minutes or longer. Rinse with cool water, shampoo and condition with daily conditioner. Rinse with cool water.
