To ensure your braided hair extensions last longer follow these tips:

  • Keep them clean: Gently wash your scalp and extensions with a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Avoid excessive scrubbing to prevent loosening the braids.
  • Moisturize: Apply a lightweight, oil-based moisturizer to your scalp to prevent dryness and itchiness.
  • Avoid excessive pulling: Refrain from constantly tugging or pulling on the braids, as this can cause breakage or damage to your natural hair and the extensions.
  • Touch-ups: Get regular touch-ups for any loose or frizzy braids to maintain a neat appearance.
  • Be gentle: When styling or tying your hair up, handle it gently to prevent unnecessary strain on the braids.
  • Consult a professional: If you're unsure about care or maintenance, consult with a hairstylist who specializes in braided hair extensions for personalized advice.

By following these guidelines you can extend the life of your braiding hair extensions and keep them looking their best.
