We all want our clip-in hair extensions to last longer while keeping their gorgeous look. How should you clean and maintain them to prevent tangling? This guide will answer all your questions and provide solutions to keep them flawless.

🔍Why My Clip in Hair Extensions Dry?

Chemical Products 🧪

Hair dyes and color-treated/strong chemical shampoos

External Factors 🌡️

Heat styling, friction, and rough sleep cause tangling and dryness

Incorrect Washing🛁

Infrequent cleaning or brushing causes tangles and shedding.

💡How to Keep The Spanlife of The Clip-In Hair Extensions?

Step 1: Brush the Hair

Remove the clip-in hair extensions from your head and place them neatly on a hair extension storage rack.

Use a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush to gently brush from top to bottom, carefully removing any tangles.

Step 2: Water Temperature & Product Selection

Use lukewarm water to wash the extensions. Add about 2–3 pumps or a small amount of shampoo into the water.

Use alcohol-free, sulfate-free hair care products formulated for color-treated or extension hair to protect color from fading

Step 3: Clean Each Weft Individually

Wash one weft at a time or tie all wefts into a ponytail to minimize tangling. Avoid wetting the clips.

Avoid using purple shampoo or any shampoo with bleaching agents that could damage the hair.

Step 4: Washing Technique

Soak the extensions in water, gently rinse the hair, and lightly massage in the shampoo.

Apply conditioner or a mask, focusing on the ends. Let it sit for 5-10 minutes, and rinse gently.

After 3–5 minutes, rinse thoroughly. Lay extensions on a towel, pat, and squeeze dry. Slippery hair may indicate product residue.

Step 5: Air Dry the Hair

Air dry clip-in extensions by placing them on a towel or hanging them in a well-ventilated area.

Alternatively, use an ionic hair dryer on medium heat, drying from the ends, and finish with a cool shot for smoothness.

Step 6: Lock in Moisture

Apply a small amount of coconut oil, hair serum, or detangling spray to the ends. Then, if desired, use a flat iron to straighten and style.

Q&A

The less you wash your extensions, the longer they’ll last. We recommend washing only when there’s noticeable product build-up. We recommend washing them after every 10-15 wears or once a month.

Not necessarily. Unless there is a significant amount of product buildup (such as hairspray), washing is not required. Instead, you can gently brush out the curls using a soft-bristle brush, starting from the ends and working your way up. To straighten the extensions, you may use a flat iron—just be sure to apply a heat protectant spray beforehand and use a low to medium heat setting to help preserve the hair quality.
