Caring for your hair extensions – Do Not Overwash!
You do not need to wash your hair extensions every day. Adopting a routine to wash your hair extensions once a week is good enough.

Over washing your hair extension can make them lose their shine. More so, it is advisable to wash your hair extensions in an upright manner without affecting the proper structure of the hair.
