Do you mean wash your own hair or the extension hair?
I don't normally wash the extension hair before I install it.
I always wash the natural hair with either a good clarifying shampoo or dish soap, and no conditioner. ------------- http://www.Godiva-Hair.com - http://www.Godiva-Hair.com http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com - http://www.MetamorphosisHairDesign.com |

I usually wash the extension hair before install. When I take it out of the package, it is usually really curly and I like the curl to drop before I install it. I know the jetset does this, as well as the bohyme bodywave.
I suppose that if you are installing straight hair you wouldn't have worry about it.
If you are washing pretipped hair, leave it in it's little bundles. I wash it about 2" away from the tie(rubberband, gold stuff, etc...) to the ends.
