Your clients spend a lot of money on hair extensions, and you spend lot of time to install them.
We all want our extensions to last as long as possible. You can do a lot to keep extensions in great shape, one of which includes deep conditioning. Let us talk about it in more detail. Deep conditioning may not be an absolute solution, but deep conditioning once in a blue moon is an excellent way to make sure your extensions stay as long as possible. Organic hair naturally receives its nutrients from the oils your scalp produces, which keeps it healthy and hydrated.

Step 1
First, wash the hair with a moisture rich shampoo and rinse. These shampoos are formulated to remove any gunk, oil or styling product build-up on your extensions. Take a quarter-sized amount of deep conditioner and distribute the product evenly on the hair extensions, starting at the roots and working down to the tips. Rinse it out with lukewarm water.

Step 2
Apply the deep-conditioning treatment to the hair extensions, focusing on the ends. If you ...
... are working with loose extensions, work it into the hair and set it on a towel. If the extensions are connected to your natural hair, work the deep conditioning into extensions and your natural hair.

Step 3
Let it sit for 20 minutes or according to the directions given. Rinse it with a conditioning treatment from your extensions with lukewarm water. If you can handle cold water, then use it.

Step 4
Squeeze excess water from your extensions with a towel. Do not roughly rub your head or the loose extensions

Step 5
Apply a leave-in conditioner to your extensions and work through any snarls or tangles with a wide-tooth comb.

First, wash the hair with a moisture rich shampoo and rinse. Press your hair softly with a towel to remove excess water. Take a quarter-sized amount of deep conditioner to the extensions and distribute the product evenly, starting at the roots and working down to the tips. A wide toothed comb is an easy way to coat the hair. Make sure the treatments are sulfate and alcohol free since these ingredients can dry out and damage the extensions.
You can use a deep-conditioning hair masks once or twice a week. The mask can be rinsed out after 30 minutes. You can later follow with a regular shampooing and conditioning regimen. Use a soft paddle brush that won’t tug on the hair with stiff bristles. Start with the tips and work to the root.
Bonus moisturizing tips for hair extensions:
Keep your hair clean as if you try to moisturize dirty hair, the moisture will not enter the inner cortex of hair, where it matters the most.
It is important to keep your hair well moisturized and healthy. Heaters can dry your hair, making them brittle. You can use coconut and argan oils to revitalize dry hair.
Don't go out in the cold with wet hair as not only will you be uncomfortable, but they will also freeze and break.
Try protective hairstyles like braids and buns. They are perfect under hats, and might otherwise cause matting and tangling during winters.
Eat healthy foods with healthy fats such as avocados, salmon, and olive oil. Drink lots of water and your skin will love you for this.
