Here are some basic principles and tips from our experts on how to care for curly hair extensions to ensure they can remain in good condition.

1. Comb your fingers with your fingers

The initial and most crucial step to care for curly hair extensions which astonish everybody is learning to properly brush them. Extensions of curly hair require gentle care and care to keep their curl and form. Do not brush your curls while they are dry because this can cause frizzing, breakage or shedding and loss of their curl. One trick that is not widely known is that rubbing your fingertips over your curls is more effective than using a hairbrush to untangle the hair. To take care of curls, you should avoid brushing them when they’re dry, as this could cause frizzing and other issues.

2. Don’t wash the dishes every day

Cleaning your hair regularly to keep it tidy and beautiful is great for hair that is natural. But, you shouldn’t make use of this method for caring for hair extensions that have curly curls. The main reason for not washing your hair extensions every day is because it could cause stress and strain on fragile hair strands and cause dry, thirsty curly hair. After that, you should shampoo your extensions at least once per week, if not every fortnight. Another option is to use ‘Co-Washing’. Co-washing refers to “conditioner only washing”. If you co wash, you essentially only use conditioner and do not use shampoo for washing your extensions. Co-washing is an excellent method to clean dry hair types, such as curly extensions to replenish softness and moisture without stripping the hair with harsh detergents or lathering agents typically present in shampoos. When washing your natural extensions of hair, make sure that you use a moisturizing conditioner that is free of silicone, and that is moisture-based not protein-based. Simply make sure that the extensions are completely wet, apply a generous quantity of conditioning from the root to tip, then gently clean the hair extensions. If your hair extensions feel dry, keep the conditioner on for 5-10 minutes prior to washing it out.

3. Use conditioners and moisturizers.

If you want to keep moisture in your hair for the longest time possible you must make use of a silicone-based shampoo that is quick to penetrate the hair extensions. The products you apply for your curls are as essential as those you use on your hair naturally. Like natural curly hair, which is susceptible to frizz and dryness, the same is true for your hair extensions. Since curly hair extensions don’t get naturally-produced oils on the scalp, they are susceptible for dryness and tangling and frizzing. Utilizing products that are deeply moisturizing with ingredients such as shea butter can be a great method to replenish moisture, softness and shine. If you are choosing a moisturizing conditioner and shampoo, go for products that are alcohol-free and free of sulfate (these ingredients are extremely drying) be sure to stay clear of products that contain proteins. Silicone-based conditioners are ideal when it comes to curly hair extensions. Though protein-rich products can bring back curly definition and bring balance back to natural curly hair, they may cause your curls to become matted and tangled, and therefore should not be used. Conditioners that leave-in and other serums are a boon to maintaining moisturization, shine and nourishment. As we’ve mentioned, clips in hair extensions dry out easily due to the absence of natural oils produced by the scalp. A small amount of leave-in conditioner will ensure that the hair is moisturized and extend the life of your extensions. To prevent dryness, it is recommended to apply a hair mask at least every month or once. Apply it for 15 to 20 minutes before washing it off. You’ll see the difference once you have used this on your hair. Make sure to condition your hair using an ingredient made from 1/2 tablespoon olive oil and 1 egg along with 1/4 cup of milk which will leave your hair soft and shiny.
