CLEANSING PRODUCTS
If you wouldn’t use any ol’ shampoo on your natural hair, why would you think its ok to use on your hair
extensions? After all they are made with real human hair, right?! If you have ever washed your hair with
harsh or heavy shampoos and notice the negative effects or outcome on your hair, just think about what
it will do to your hair extensions. The same exact thing, but worst. Your hair extensions will most
definitely suffer.

To keep your hair cleanse doesn’t mean you have to use a shampoo. Try opting for a co-cleanser
instead, mainly for those in between washes. And when you do use a shampoo, reach for one that is
gentle on your tresses. I would suggest getting something that is organic or formulated for natural hair
types. Also, try to avoid shampoos with sulfates and alcohols. Some of my favorite brands are
Design Essential
Bobos Remi Wig & Weave Detangle Shampoo
Organixx
Cantu
CONDITIONING PRODUCTS
Conditioning is an ABSOLUTE MUST!!! Quality hair conditioner are a necessary part of maintaining
integrity of your hair extensions. No different than your very own natural hair. When choosing a
conditioner look for something that double as a detangler. You also want something that is not too
heavy or too light weight. The perfect conditioner will coat the strands and moisturize the hair without
leaving a nasty residue behind or weighing down the hair.

Some of the brands that I think are perfect for hair extensions are as follows:
Bobos Remi Leave-In Conditioner
Design Essentials Almond Butter Express Moisturizing Conditioner
Design Essentials Bamboo & Silk HCO Leave-In Conditioner
Organix Moroccan Oil Conditioner
FINISHING PRODUCTS
We didn’t go through all that work for nothing and we definitely do not want our freshly washed hair to
be greases, oily and lifeless. The best way to make sure you are adding a nice polish or shine to your hair
without losing flow or body is to use a very light oil, hair polisher, or serum. Pick a spray, oil or serum
that is silicone based. To give your hair extensions that extra boost to keep them looking like new I
recommend these few of the best finishing products.
Design Essentials Silk Essentials Serum
Paul Mitchell
Bio Silk Serum
IC Hair Polisher
There is nothing wrong with trying different brands or products for your hair care regimen. However,
when it comes to using different products on your hair extensions you have to be a little more careful.
No matter what brands or products you use, always opt for something that is specially formulated for
hair extensions or products that will be gentle on your hair extensions.

extensions.
