Q1: Can I use regular hair products on extensions?

A: Yes, but you must avoid products containing sulfates, alcohol, and heavy waxes. These ingredients strip moisture and cause buildup, leading to dry and tangled hair. Opt for extension-safe, hydrating formulas.

Q2: My extensions are still tangled after conditioning. What now?

A: This usually indicates product buildup or a pH imbalance. Perform a clarifying rinse using diluted apple cider vinegar (1 part vinegar to 3 parts water) to reset the hair’s pH balance and smooth the cuticle.

Q3: Can I sleep with extensions in?

A: Yes, but to prevent tangles, braid your hair loosely or tie it in a low ponytail. Sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase is also highly recommended to reduce friction.

Q4: How long should extensions last with proper care?

A: With the routine outlined above, premium human hair extensions typically last 3 to 6 months with proper care.

Q5: Why does my hair look dry even after oiling?

A: You may be using heavy oils that sit on top of the hair rather than penetrating it. Switch to lightweight oils like argan or jojoba, and ensure you are hydrating with a water-based leave-in conditioner before sealing with oil.

Q6: Can I dye my human hair extensions?

A: While 100% human hair can be dyed, it is risky. The hair no longer receives nutrients from a root, so chemical processing can weaken it. We recommend consulting a professional colorist.

Q7: What is the best brush for extensions?

A: A soft boar-bristle brush or a specifically designed “extension brush” with flexible pins is best. Avoid brushes with ball-tipped ends, as these can pull and snap the hair.

Q8: Why is my hair matting at the nape of my neck?

A: This is often due to friction from clothing, especially collars or scarves. Ensure you are wearing your hair in a protective style (like a loose braid) when wearing high-friction fabrics.
