Regular daily styling: Brush your hair extensions at least twice a day with an extension brush, starting at the ends and gently working your way upwards. Washing your hair upside down: This position can put stress on the hair roots and scalp.
Tie your hair up before sleeping: Before going to bed, brush your hair thoroughly and put it up or braid it to prevent tangling. Going to bed with wet hair: Because it's particularly delicate, friction against the pillow can lead to split ends. Dry hair and a sleep cap or a silk pillowcase will help prevent this.
Brush your hair before washing: Brush your hair thoroughly before washing to avoid tangles. Rubbing hair in a towel: After washing, do not rub your hair dry, but gently pat it with a towel to protect the hair structure.
Use a rinsing treatment after every hair wash: Whether it's conditioner or hair mask (ideally both) – always apply a moisturizing treatment after shampooing. Do not use heat protectant or hair mask: Protect your extensions with heat protectant and regularly treat them with moisturizing masks to maintain their shine.
Use products developed for extensions: For the best care, we recommend our chaarmant Hair Care line, specially developed for extensions. Avoid using hair products containing alcohol: These can dry out the hair and damage the bonds – therefore use alcohol-free alternatives.
Have extensions applied by a professional: For a natural look and long-lasting durability, extensions should always be applied by a professional. Dyeing, bleaching, or tinting your extensions yourself: Color experiments on your extensions are taboo! These can damage the hair structure and the bonds.
Gentle detangling: Don't pull harshly on your hair, but gently detangle it to avoid breakage. Pulling hair out of your handbag: Avoid pulling on your hair roughly to prevent breakage.

Conclusion

Proper care ensures that your extensions remain flawless not only initially, but also in the long term. A regular and consistent care routine is the key to healthy hair.


FAQ – Frequently Asked Questions about Extension Care

How often should I brush my extensions daily?

At least twice a day – always from the bottom up, with a gentle hand. This reduces knots and maintains the hair structure.

Is it bad to go to sleep with wet hair?

Yes – wet hair is more sensitive and more prone to knots, split ends and structural damage due to friction against the pillow.

Can I dye my hair extensions myself?

We recommend against it. Extensions absorb color more quickly, and improper application can lead to damage and breakage.
