Exceptional Hair Should Be Easy to Live With.

Extensionology hair is designed to minimize maintenance and fit naturally into your everyday routine. Care for it as you would your own hair—with a few simple habits to help preserve its quality for the long term.

GENERAL MAINTENANCE

  • Treat your extensions as you would your natural hair—with a little extra attention around the attachment areas.
  • Gently brush your hair throughout the day to prevent unnecessary tangling. Support the hair near the attachment area with one hand while brushing through the lengths and ends.
  • Avoid excessive pulling, tension, or repeated friction around tape tabs, weft rows, and keratin bonds.
  • A few minutes of consistent daily care can make a significant difference in the long-term performance of your extensions.
  • Wash your hair with your head upright and allow the water to flow naturally from the scalp through the lengths.
  • Gently cleanse the scalp using your fingertips. Avoid aggressive scrubbing, circular motions, or piling the hair on top of your head, as this can create unnecessary tangling around the attachment areas.
  • Allow shampoo to move through the lengths as you rinse rather than aggressively rubbing the extension hair.
  • Rinse thoroughly to ensure no product remains near the scalp or attachment areas.
  • Apply conditioner primarily through the mid-lengths and ends, where the hair needs moisture most.
  • For Tape-In and Keratin Tip extensions, avoid applying heavy conditioners, oils, or silicone-rich products directly to the attachment areas. Excessive product buildup may affect the performance of tape adhesive or keratin bonds.
  • Use lightweight, professional-quality hair products and avoid excessive product layering.
  • Hair extensions do not receive natural oils from the scalp in the same way growing hair does, so proper conditioning of the lengths and ends is especially important.
  • Never go to sleep with wet or damp extensions.
  • After washing, gently remove excess water with a towel. Do not twist, rub, or aggressively squeeze the hair.
  • Dry the attachment areas first. Tape tabs, weft rows, and keratin bonds should be completely dry before styling or sleeping.
  • Use a blow dryer at a controlled temperature and direct airflow downward through the hair.
  • Once the attachment areas are dry, continue drying the lengths and ends until the hair is completely dry.
  • Use an extension-friendly brush and begin at the ends of the hair, gradually working upward.
  • Hold the hair near the attachment area with one hand while brushing with the other. This helps minimize unnecessary tension on the natural hair and extension attachments.
  • Brush carefully around tape tabs, weft rows, and keratin bonds rather than pulling directly through them.
  • Regular brushing helps keep the hair separated, smooth, and naturally moving.
  • Always make sure your extensions are completely dry before going to bed.
  • Before sleeping, gently brush the hair and secure it in a loose braid or low ponytail to reduce friction and movement during the night.
  • Avoid tight hairstyles that create unnecessary tension on the attachment areas.
  • A silk or satin pillowcase may also help reduce friction while you sleep.
  • You can maintain an active lifestyle while wearing Extensionology hair extensions.
  • Before swimming or intense exercise, gently brush the hair and secure it in a braid or controlled style to reduce tangling.
  • Chlorine, salt water, sunscreen, and prolonged moisture may affect extension hair. Whenever possible, avoid allowing the hair to remain saturated for extended periods.
  • After swimming, rinse the hair thoroughly with clean water and follow with appropriate conditioning.
  • After working out, make sure the scalp and attachment areas are fully dry before sleeping or securing the hair for an extended period.
  • Extensionology hair can be styled with professional heat tools.
  • Before applying heat, use a quality heat protectant through the lengths and ends.
  • Avoid applying direct, excessive heat to tape tabs, keratin bonds, or weft attachment areas.
  • Use controlled temperatures and avoid repeatedly passing high heat over the same section of hair.
  • The goal is simple: style the hair without unnecessarily compromising its integrity.
  • Extensionology hair can be professionally customized, but all coloring and chemical services should be approached carefully.
  • We strongly recommend having color services performed by a licensed professional experienced with hair extensions.
  • Always perform a strand test before applying color or chemicals to the full set of extensions.
  • Lightening or bleaching previously processed extension hair may significantly affect its condition and longevity and is not recommended.
  • For custom color work, Extensionology Canvas Hair is specifically designed to provide stylists with a dyeable foundation for professional color customization.

CARE BY EXTENSION METHOD

Each extension method is designed differently. Proper care of the attachment area helps protect both the extensions and the client's natural hair.

  • Keep oils, heavy conditioners, and excessive product buildup away from the tape tabs.
  • When washing, gently cleanse between rows without aggressively rubbing or pulling the attachments.
  • Make sure all tape tabs are completely dry after washing.
  • Do not attempt to pull or separate installed tape extensions by force.
  • For maintenance and removal, use a professional tape extension remover and follow proper removal procedures.
  • Gently cleanse the scalp and the areas between each weft row to prevent product buildup.
  • After washing, carefully dry the weft rows and attachment areas completely.
  • Brush the hair regularly while supporting the weft near the attachment area.
  • Avoid excessive tension or pulling on the rows.
  • Professional maintenance should be scheduled according to the installation method, natural hair growth, and the recommendation of your stylist.
  • Keep heavy oils and conditioners away from the keratin bonds.
  • Gently separate the bonds with your fingers regularly to help prevent neighboring bonds and natural shed hair from matting together.
  • When brushing, support the hair near the bonds and avoid pulling directly through the attachment area.
  • Make sure the bonds are completely dry after washing.
  • Keratin Tip extensions should be professionally removed using the appropriate removal method. Never pull, cut, or force the bonds from the natural hair.
  • Hair extensions should never be forcibly removed.
  • Tape tabs, weft rows, and keratin bonds each require the appropriate maintenance and removal technique.
  • We recommend professional maintenance and removal by a licensed stylist experienced with hair extensions.
  • Proper maintenance protects the client's natural hair, preserves the integrity of the extension hair, and helps ensure the best possible experience throughout the life of the extensions.
