Professional Shampoo For Hair Extensions

You should always use a sulphate-free shampoo and conditioner to cleanse and moisturise hair extensions, whether in the salon or at home. This effectively cleans the human hair extensions without stripping out too much moisture.

Keeping extensions soft and silky is all about having a comprehensive aftercare routine that prioritises moisture. While correct maintenance and upkeep vary depending on the application type, all hair extensions benefit from: 

1. Daily brushing: Advise your clients to brush extensions while dry, two or three times per day. Use a specialised hair extension brush to remove tangles and prevent matting, which can lead to frizz and dullness. 
2. Once or twice weekly washing: Your clients should wash extensions no more than three times per week with a sulphate-free shampoo to help retain moisture, then follow up with a hydrating conditioner to maintain silky softness. 
3. Complete drying: Hair extensions should always be dried completely with a hair dryer after washing and conditioning. This prevents moisture build-up around clips or bonds, which can weaken them, leading to shedding and a loss of fullness. 
4. Regular appointments: Depending on the hair extension type, your client may require regular salon visits for refitting and bond maintenance. This helps to maximise the lifespan of the hair extensions, keeping them soft, silky and full. 

We recommend using a specially formulated hair extension shampoo to wash your client’s human hair extensions. Regular shampoos can contain sulphates or harsh ingredients that may damage or dry out the hair. Choosing the correct shampoo for extensions helps prevent tangling, dryness, and breakage, ensuring your client’s extensions stay smooth and manageable. 

The best shampoo for bond extensions is Remi Cachet shampoo, which is free from sulphates and parabens, and specially formulated to care for remy human hair extensions and bonds. It helps to prevent slippage and damage while delivering deep cleansing and hydration.  

Avoid washing hair extensions in any shampoos that contain sulphates, as these can strip the hair and leave it feeling dry and brittle, leading to damage. 

Remy human hair extensions should be washed between one and three times per week, depending on the application method, how often you wear them, and how much product you use in them. 

Over washing can prematurely dry, leading to frizz and damage, and overall shortening the life span of your hair extensions.
