| • | After washing your hair extensions, apply a good leave-on spray conditioning product to keep your extensions well hydrated between washings. |
| • | Never sleep when your hair extensions are still wet or damp. You can use a cloth to pat excess water from the hair to make it dry. The best way to dry your hair extensions is to take them off and let them air-dry. |
| • | If you are using a blowdryer, try to avoid pulling the hair while wet and use a diffusing tool to better circulate the heat. Blowdry the wefted part of the hair extensions first, then dry the rest of the hair from the ends up. |
| • | Avoid using excess heat or applying direct heat to the hair extensions. |
| • | If you exercise regularly, make it a practice of rinsing and conditioning the hair after each workout. Shampooing the hair after a workout is not always necessary. |
