3 Easy Steps to Revive Your Old Hair Extensions
Step 1
Trim your hair extensions. I know you probably bought your hair extensions to add length to
your hair in the first place, but just like your natural hair, you need a good trimming every now and then.
Trimming your hair extensions will get rid of the frazzled split ends and give your extensions a more
healthy appearance.
Step 2
Use a Pre-Poo. If you unfamiliar with the term pre-poo, let me explain. A pre-poo is simply a
nourishing treatment you apply to your hair before shampooing. Hence the work pre-poo, get it? Make
a lot more sense now, huh? A pre-poo can be a hot oil treatment or something more creamy like a blend
of avocadoes and bananas. Using a pre-poo helps to restore natural oils to the hair but is often too
heavy to use without being shampooed out afterwards.

Step 3
Use a Deep Conditioning Treatment. Once you have shampooed and conditioned your hair
extensions try using a deep conditioner treatment. What I personally like to do is place my extensions in
a plastic bags and then put them in my hooded dryer for about an hour. I don’t know what it is about
the heat that actives some extra nourishing properties, but it makes my hair buttery soft again. If you do
not have a hooded dryer you can use your microwave. I MUST WARN you, you should only microwave
your hair for about 15-30 seconds at a time; and DO NOT do any more than 5-6 rounds. Once I have
used a bit of heat, I then let my extensions sit in that same bag for about 24 hours. Rise and allow to air
dry.
Ladies, these tricks work like a charm. If you follow these 3 easy steps, your hair extensions will be soft
and manageable. You will think you just received a new set of hair extensions.
