1Be
gentle. One of the most important things about hair extensions is that
you have to baby them. When you are brushing your hair, be gentle.
Without the proper treatment, your hair extensions will get damaged
quickly.

2Wash
with moisturizing hair care products. This step is especially important
if you are using clip in hair extensions because the hair will not get
any of the moisture from the natural oils your scalp produces.
Moisturizing hair care products will keep your hair healthy. If you are
longing for shine, use a serum. Many hair care products that promote
shine have a drying affect on hair

3Don�t
forget to deep condition. Once a week you want to deep condition your
hair extensions. Leave it on the hair for approximately 20 to 30
minutes and rinse. This extra TLC will give your hair an extra
moisturizing boost.

4Keep
those ends trimmed. No matter what you do, your hair extensions will
inevitably get split ends. The best way to keep split ends from getting
out of control is to regularly trim them. Trim the ends of the hair
every 6 to 10 weeks. Keep in mind that you don�t want to trim too much,
otherwise you will quickly lose the length of your hair. You can either
do it yourself or have a professional trim them.

5Use
a heat protectant. Nowadays, just about everyone uses heated appliances
on their hair. Whether it�s a blow dryer, curling iron or flat iron,
they all have one thing in common: they damage your hair. If you want
to make your extensions last, your best bet is to use a heat protectant
whenever you use a heated appliance on your hair. This simple step will
prevent breakage and keep your locks looking great a lot longer.
