Your HIDDN Hair Extensions are an investment, and a little care at home keeps them soft, shiny, and beautiful between appointments. Here is the exact routine we recommend, plus how to protect your extensions through the hardest season of all, summer.
Your everyday routine, at a glance
- Brush morning and night, and before washing
- Use sulfate free products only
- Deep condition once a week
- Never sleep with wet hair
- Protect from heat and chlorine
- Keep your maintenance appointments
Protect Before You Swim
Chlorine and saltwater are rough on extensions, so a little prep before you get in the water protects them from damage and tangling.
- Wet your hair before getting in the pool, lake, or ocean.
- Apply a leave in conditioner.
- Wear your hair in a loose braid or low ponytail.
Rinse After Swimming
The sooner you get the chlorine or salt out, the healthier your extensions stay.
- Rinse and shampoo your hair as soon as possible.
- Follow with a moisturizing conditioner.
Brush Your Extensions Daily
Daily brushing is the easiest way to prevent tangles and keep your extensions looking fresh.
- Brush morning and night.
- Brush before washing.
- Hold the weft while brushing.
- Start at the ends and work your way up.
Hydrate Your Hair
Extensions do not get natural oils from your scalp, so keeping them hydrated is what keeps them soft and shiny.
- Use sulfate free products.
- Deep condition weekly.
- Apply u-oil to the mid lengths and ends only.
Habits That Shorten Their Life
A few simple things to skip will save the life of your extensions.
- Sleeping with wet hair.
- Sunscreen directly on your extensions. Use an avobenzone free sunblock.
- Heat without a heat protectant.
- Skipping your maintenance appointments.
Follow these habits at home and you will extend the life of your HIDDN Hair Extensions and keep them looking beautiful between appointments.
