First & foremost, understand that synthetic hair extensions do not last long at all; average product life is approx. 3 months. Just like your own hair, synthetic hair will accumulate residue through normal wear. However, you do not need to wash the synthetic hair everyday to keep consistent results. The fiber should be washed as infrequently as possible or when you notice that the fiber appears dull. If you are wearing the hair all day, every day, you can wash them after 4-6 wears.
- Before shampooing, gently remove any tangles or teasing with your fingers or a pick comb. Do not brush. Pick the hair from the ends and work your way up.
- Gently add a synthetic safe shampoo to the hair and use cool - never hot - water.
- When rinsing the hair allow the water to flow from the roots to the ends (top to bottom). Do not soak the hair as this may cause matting and tangles.
- Rinse thoroughly in cool water.
- Dab gently with a towel to remove excess water. Do not squeeze or twist.
- While still wet, spray with a leave in conditioner that is specifically formulated for synthetic hair goods.
- Dry on a towel at room temperature.
