Buying quality extensions is only half the equation.
Avoid these common mistakes.
1. Sleeping with Wet Hair
Wet extensions tangle easily.
Always dry them before bed.
2. Using Drugstore Shampoo
Many shampoos contain sulfates that dry the hair.
3. Skipping Heat Protectant
Heat damage affects extensions just like natural hair.
4. Brushing Too Hard
Never yank through knots.
Brush gently from the ends upward.
5. Overwashing
Extensions don't need daily washing.
6. Applying Oils Near Bonds
Oil can weaken tape adhesive and keratin bonds.
7. Ignoring Maintenance Appointments
Professional maintenance keeps extensions secure and healthy.
8. Swimming Without Protection
Saltwater and chlorine dry extensions.
Wear them up or rinse immediately afterward.
9. Using Cheap Hair Tools
Low-quality tools can snag and damage the hair.
10. Buying Low-Quality Hair
Quality hair saves money in the long run because it lasts significantly longer.
