Healthy Hair Habits Every Extension Lover Should Know

Beautiful extensions deserve beautiful care. Maintaining your extensions doesn’t have to be complicated—it’s all about building a healthy hair routine that keeps both your natural hair and extensions looking flawless.

Here are a few everyday habits that make all the difference.

1. Be Gentle When Brushing

Extensions need a softer touch.
Use ViolaRosa’s Detangling Brush to gently remove tangles, starting from the ends and working your way up. This prevents unnecessary pulling and keeps your wefts secure.

Before bed, loosely braid your hair or tie it in a low ponytail to avoid tangles while you sleep.

2. Choose Quality Hair Products

Your shampoo and conditioner can make or break your extensions.
Stick with sulfate-free, moisturizing formulas like Kevin.Murphy HYDRATE-ME.WASH and RINSE or Shibui Hydration Duo to maintain softness and shine.

Avoid heavy or oily products that can weigh down the hair or loosen bonds.

3. Limit Heat—Or Go Heatless

Excessive heat can shorten the lifespan of your extensions.
Whenever possible, opt for heatless styling tools like Mane Label’s Sway to create soft curls or waves overnight.

When you do use heat, always protect your hair with Kevin.Murphy ANTI.GRAVITY SPRAY before blow-drying or curling.

4. Keep Up with Regular Maintenance

Schedule routine check-ins with your stylist every 6–8 weeks to adjust and maintain your extensions.
They can help reposition any slipped wefts, trim ends, and refresh your overall style.

Your stylist can also recommend the right Shibui leave-in treatments or Kevin.Murphy repair products to keep your extensions looking salon-fresh.

5. Protect While Sleeping

Silk is your best friend!
Swap your cotton pillowcase for a silk or satin one to reduce friction and frizz.
You can also braid your hair or wrap it in a silk scarf to keep it smooth overnight.

Healthy Hair = Long-Lasting Extensions

A little care goes a long way.
By using the right products—like Shibui’s hydrating line, Kevin.Murphy treatments, and ViolaRosa’s Detangling Brush—you’ll keep your extensions soft, shiny, and beautiful for months to come.
