Quick Tips for Long-Lasting Hair Extensions

Now that you’ve invested in your dream hair, the right care routine will help your extensions stay soft, silky, and beautiful for as long as possible. Treat them with the same love and attention you give your natural hair, and follow these simple tips for maximum longevity:

  • Brush your hair daily with the ABH Extensions Brush to prevent tangling and matting.

  • Always use professional-quality, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.

  • Keep extensions hydrated with a nourishing serum 3–4 times a week.

  • Use a heat protectant before styling with hot tools.

  • Never bleach your extensions — it causes dryness and breakage. (Glosses or lowlights are safe with damp hair; always consult your extensionist.)

  • Avoid swimming in chlorine or salt water when possible.

  • Protect your extensions in the sun with a mineral-based sunscreen.

  • On vacation, if you do swim, wash your hair right away with your prescribed hair care.

  • Above all, treat your extensions like your own hair — gentle care makes them last.
