5 useful tips for maintaining your clip-in extensions

After our article last year on the 10 things not to do with your extensions, it seemed important to us to revisit, at the beginning of this year, the main points to keep in mind for maintaining your clip-in extensions and ensuring their longevity.

Tip #1: Use accessories suited for natural hair extensions

Just like your own hair, extensions need to be treated gently.

Standard brushes are an absolute no-go! You know, the brush with metal bristles with balls at the end? Yes, that's the one we're talking about.

But who invented this horrible brush? It's the "Jack the Ripper" of our hair!

The ideal is the special loop brush for extensions, very flexible, which will gently detangle your hair, guaranteed "break-free"!

Tip #2: Properly store your clip-in extensions after use

Had a fantastic evening and made a splash with your clip-in extensions? Once home, we recommend taking a few seconds to store them properly. Carelessly tossing them can significantly damage them and shorten their lifespan!

To make your life easier, ExtensionPointCom has designed a special pouch for extensions to store them simply.

Moreover, we recommend always removing them before sleeping to prevent damage.

Tip #3: Avoid straightening your extensions daily

Clip-in extensions are made of natural hair. Just like your own hair, using a straightener daily can cause significant damage.

Avoid using flat irons every day; your hair and extensions will thank you.

Once straightened, extensions don't move, so there's no need to redo it every time you pass by.

Tip #4: Use appropriate care products

5 useful tips for maintaining your clip-in extensions I can see your face from here! What are they talking about... Yes! We had the same reaction when we found on the internet "cheap" solutions that some people use to wash their extensions. Believe it or not, many girls admit to washing their extensions with fabric softener, detergent, or even dish soap because it's more economical...

But a few weeks later, they wonder why their extensions resemble dreadlocks.

Would you wash your own hair with these products? Surely not!

So use only appropriate products. We highly recommend using dry shampoos.

In a future post, we will try to recommend a selection of care products for maintaining your clip-in extensions.

Tip #5: Seek advice from professionals!

The choice of length and volume of your extensions is crucial to avoid a rat tail effect.

Indeed, the more patient you have been with the growth of your hair, the cheaper your extension budget will be. Conversely, the shorter your hair, the more thickness and volume you will need to achieve a natural effect and avoid the infamous demarcation.
