I love my extension! I wear them almost everyday all day! I'm not happy with my real hair because it doesn't grow! And I was wondering if you knew any ways to keep the extension looking new. Soft. And help keep the hair on there! After a month or two my hair extensions look worn out! And I was wondering if y'all had any advise on how to keep my extensions healthy! N what's the best way to put them on without getting all tangled up like when you get them sewed on! Thanks dolls<3.

If you have clip in extensions buy Euronext brand from Sally's. there pricey but worth it. I have had my for over a year. You want to buy remy hair extensions because its real human hair so it last and stays soft. To keep your extensions soft I use Moroccan oil and coconut oil

The first thing you can do is try to just co wash your hair somtimes meaning wash with conditioner to much shampoo dries the hair out use argan oil in them try not to use to much heat if you want the curly look try flexi rods instead you can also use a heat protectant when you flat iron it.

I use heat protectant on my extensions all the time. When I straighten them, curl them, anything. 100% human hair extensions are like the hair on your head. They still need to be protected, and I never ever brush them while they are wet. They are still weak during that time. I let them air dry after I wash them. Try not to wash them a whole bunch as well, it wears them out faster.

The better the quality of the hair the longer it will last. You have to take care of it lk its your own hair. Condition..protect..condition...o & I also wear mine n a loose braid @ nite works fine for me.

I've used Euronext from Sally's and it is some of the thinnest hair I've used. I LOVE Luxy hair. It is the thickest and silkiest I've used. Invest in a shampoo and conditioner specifically for extensions, as well as a heat protectant. Always just hot tools on their lowest setting and just go slower, rather than a hotter setting faster (same with your own hair). The extensions you get at Sally's are 70g while the Luxy extensions start at 120g for the same price, if not less. Also, extensions will start to get split ends like your own hair, so after a while you may have to get a micro trim on them to prevent further damage. The longer you let split ends go, the more they travel up the hair shaft. (I'm a cosmetologist and an extension wearer for more than 6 years)
