Gently brush with a wide-tooth comb or a soft-bristle brush, staring from the bottom and working your way up to remove any knots or tangles

 

Step2 Prepare warm water

 

Step3 Wash your extensions

Apply shampoo and conditioner to the wefts and wash them as your own hair

(Tips: Since extensions don’t get as oily as natural hair, you don’t need to use too much shampoo)

 

Step4 Rinse your extensions

Rinse your clip-in extensions thoroughly, then finish with cold water to lock in moisture and make them softer, silker and shinier

 

Step5 Brush and detangle

After rinsing, gently squeeze out excess water with a microfiber towel, then brush and detangle carefully

(Tips: never rub the extensions dry with a towel, as this can cause knots or even damage the hair)

 

Step6 Leave to air dry

Lay them flat on a towel or place them on a flat surface, or hang them in a well-ventilated area to let them air dry naturally

 

And there you have it! By following these simple steps on how to clean clip-in hair extensions, you’re not just cleaning them—you’re investing in their long-term beauty and durability. Remember, gentle products, cool water, and air-drying are your best friends when it comes to extension care.
