A considered routine supports the condition of your extension hair between appointments. Focus on gentle handling, clean attachment areas and care suited to your hair and scalp.
1. Check the connections before brushing
Separate the hair carefully with your fingers and check whether individual strands have caught at the attachment points. Hold the lengths with one hand while brushing so that no unnecessary tension builds up.
2. Always work from the bottom up
Start at the ends, loosen knots section by section, and work your way up slowly. Use a brush suited to your fitting, without dragging it across the rings or weft.
3. Do not sleep with wet hair
Wet hair is more delicate and can tangle faster through friction. Dry the roots, the connections, and the lengths completely before you go to bed.
4. Use shampoo where it belongs
Clean the scalp and the roots above all. Massage gently and avoid circular motions, which can mat the hair. When you rinse, the lather spreads through the lengths on its own.
5. Put conditioner into the lengths and ends
Conditioner and masks belong in the lengths, not directly on the attachments. That keeps the connections clean and supplies the ends with moisture.
6. Use heat deliberately
Always use a heat protectant before blow-drying, straightening, or curling. Work at a moderate temperature and keep hot styling tools away from the attachment points.
7. Reduce friction at night
A loose ponytail or a soft braid keeps the lengths together. Smooth pillowcases can reduce additional friction. Do not use tight hair ties.
8. Prepare for chlorine and salt water
Keep extensions out of pool or sea water where possible. After contact, rinse promptly with fresh water, cleanse and condition as needed, and dry the weft base thoroughly.
9. Use products sparingly
Ask your professional which products and amounts suit the hair. Keep masks, oils and serums in the lengths, away from the attachment areas. Avoid transferring sunscreen onto the extensions while continuing to protect your skin.
10. Check regularly
Check the attachments, any matting, and how the weft sits. The sooner small tangles are loosened, the easier daily care stays.
The simple Stessia routine
Detangle gently in the morning, tie the hair up loosely in the evening, and dry it completely after every wash: these three habits make the biggest difference. How long extensions stay beautiful always depends on use, styling, and care.
