Hair Extension Care & Maintenance

Keep Your Priceless Beauty Extensions Looking Stunning

If you're enjoying gorgeous, long, and voluminous hair with Priceless Beauty's hair extensions, you're already on your way to achieving the hair of your dreams. But just like natural hair, your extensions need proper care to ensure they remain healthy, vibrant, and last for as long as possible.

In this blog, we’ll share expert tips on how to care for your semi-permanent hair extensions and keep them looking flawless, so you can enjoy beautiful hair every day.

1. Wait Before Washing Your Extensions

After installation, avoid washing your hair for at least 48 hours to allow the bonds to fully set. This initial wait time helps ensure the extensions stay securely in place. Whether you're wearing Tape-in, Keratin Bond, Micro-link, or Weft Extensions, giving the bonds time to settle is key.

2. Washing and Conditioning: The Right Way to Care for Extensions

For optimal results, it’s important to use the right hair care products. Sulfate-free and alcohol-free shampoos are ideal, as they won't strip your extensions of essential moisture.

  • Shampooing: Gently apply a sulfate-free shampoo to your scalp and massage in circular motions. Avoid scrubbing the extensions themselves to prevent any unwanted tangling.

  • Conditioning: Apply conditioner to the mid-length to ends of your hair, avoiding the bonds. This helps keep the extensions hydrated and soft. A leave-in conditioner or a deep hydrating serum can also keep your extensions looking their best.



3. Drying & Styling: Keep Your Extensions Smooth and Frizz-Free

After washing, gently pat your hair with a towel to remove excess water. Avoid rubbing your extensions, as this can cause tangling. When blow-drying, use low heat and ensure the blow dryer is a few inches away from the bonds.

Styling Tip: Apply a heat protectant before styling with hot tools like curling irons or straighteners. This helps keep your extensions looking shiny and healthy without compromising the bonds. Be sure to avoid direct heat on the bonds themselves to protect them from damage.

  • Brushing: Use a brush designed for extensions, starting from the ends and working your way up. This method prevents breakage and keeps your extensions smooth. Brush at least twice a day to prevent matting.



4. Nighttime Care: Prevent Tangling and Keep Your Hair Fresh

To prevent tangling while you sleep, always tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail using a soft, fabric-covered hair tie. This helps maintain the shape of your extensions and reduces friction. Avoid sleeping with wet hair, as it can lead to tangling and breakage.

5. Swimming & Sun Protection: Keep Your Extensions Safe from the Elements

Swimming in chlorine or salt water can affect the texture and longevity of your extensions. If you plan on swimming, tie your hair up or wear a swim cap to protect your extensions from exposure to harmful chemicals.

Protect from the Sun: Excessive exposure to UV rays can cause your extensions to lose their natural colour and shine. Use a protective spray or keep your hair covered in direct sunlight for extended periods.

6. Regular Maintenance: Ensure Long-Lasting Beautiful Extensions

To keep your extensions looking fresh, it's important to schedule regular maintenance appointments every 6-8 weeks. Our expert stylists at Priceless Beauty will check the condition of your extensions, move them up if necessary, and ensure they stay securely in place.

Remember, extensions should always be professionally removed to avoid damaging your natural hair. Our team is trained to safely remove extensions without harming your natural locks.
