There are so many people saying different things regarding clip in extensions and how to care for them. I want to share how I care for my extensions to keep them healthy,soft,shiny, and wearable for as long as possible.
Application:
Before applying my extensions I always very gentle brush them out removing any minor tangles. I set each weft out separately so I don't them tangle once they have been brushed. Brushing out with your fingers is a good alternative if you want to stay away from as much breakage as possible. Before each one is applied I spray a very fine mist of Organix Anti-breakage Keratin Oil. If they start to feel really dry I will use Moroccan Oil Treatment in Light. I put a dime size in in the palm out my hands, rub in my palms and rub into the lower half of my hair and style as usual.

Washing:
Let me start off with I try to not wash my extensions for as long as hygienically possible. Washing makes you hair dry out alot and the more you wash the less they will last. When you wash them unlike your actual hair they don`t get the same oils and nutrients leaving them dry and dull. When i do wash my extensions I get a hair band and tie the top of all the wefts like a pony tail. I run them under luke warm water and lather them very gently with sulfate free shampoo. I would suggest the
Organix Renewing Moroccan Argan Oil Shampoo as an economical option, it can also be purchased at Walmart. I quickly rinse out the shampoo and apply
L`oreal Color Radiance Intense rinse out treatment. The bottle suggest you rinse the treatment immediately but I leave it in for a minute or two and you can really feel the silkiness when you rinse. I follow up with the matching Organix conditioner and then put on a deep conditioning treatment. I find the Ion Effective Care Treatment the holy grail treatment that you can find at Sally`s beauty supply. After an hour I rinse the deep conditioner and set them out to air dry.

Removal:
When I first wore extensions I would just unclip all the clips and pull the ends of the extensions until they slid out. By doing this I found it much easier to remove each weft individually. Simply unclipping one whole weft and remove, then move of two the next. After either store in an extensions case or invest in a plastic container to store them and avoid tangles.
