You’ve invested in beautiful extensions—now it’s time to make them last. With the right care, your extensions will stay soft, shiny, and full of life for months. Here’s everything you need to know to keep them looking flawless from salon day to every day.

1. Wash Gently and Wisely

Overwashing can dry out your extensions, but not washing enough can cause buildup.

Here’s how to find the balance:

Wash every 2–3 days using sulfate-free, moisturizing products like Kevin.Murphy HYDRATE-ME.WASH and RINSE or Shibui Hydration Duo.
Focus on cleansing your scalp and let the shampoo naturally rinse through your extensions.
Avoid heavy scrubbing or circular motions that can cause tangling.

2. Always Detangle Before and After Washing

Extensions are more delicate when wet.

Pro tip:

Use ViolaRosa’s Detangling Brush to gently remove knots before washing and after drying.
Start brushing from the ends and work your way up to protect your bonds.

3. Dry with Care

Avoid harsh towel drying. Instead, gently squeeze out excess water and wrap your hair in a microfiber towel or a soft T-shirt.

If you need to blow-dry, apply Kevin.Murphy HEATED.DEFENSE to shield your extensions from heat.

For a heatless alternative, try Mane Label’s Sway to style overnight waves without any damage.

4. Keep Up with Maintenance

Extensions naturally shift as your hair grows, so plan regular appointments with your stylist every 6–8 weeks.
During visits, your stylist can check for slipping wefts, refresh the cut, and recommend Shibui leave-in treatments or Kevin.Murphy REPAIR-ME line to maintain the health and shine of your extensions.

5. Protect While You Sleep

Nighttime care makes a huge difference.

Braid your hair loosely or tie it into a low ponytail before bed.
Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and frizz.
