Which products are essential to keep your extensions healthy?
Which products are essential to keep your extensions healthy?
- Shampoo
- Conditioner
- Hair mask
- Argan oil or olive oil (preferably in spray form).
- Preferably a Tangle Teezer to prevent hair breakage, or a brush (for straight or bodywave) or wide-tooth comb (for natural wave, curly, kinky curly and deep curly).
Therefore, purchase the right products!
Do you want the perfect product to care for your hair extensions? Our advice is Olaplex! Olaplex is available from a professional near you (salon) or online.
How to use Olaplex for your hair extensions:
The products we recommend for the hair extensions are Olaplex no. 3 - 4 – 5 – 6 – 7.
If you purchase Olaplex, we recommend the following:
Step 1. Use Olaplex no. 3 first, leave it in for 10 minutes and rinse it out with no. 4, the shampoo.
Step 2. Then use conditioner no. 5, leave it in for 3 minutes and rinse out.
Step 3. Pat the hair 40% dry with a towel. Lay the hair on a towel and gently pat dry with the other side of the towel. Then apply Olaplex no. 6 to the hair; a wonderfully scented and nourishing cream. Use an amount the size of a dice. Let the hair air dry. Preferably, leave it lying on a towel. If you have permanent extensions, we recommend letting them air dry. Always avoid the hairdryer, as this makes the hair very dry due to the heat.
Step 4. When the hair is dry, use no. 7. No. 7 is a super nice, nourishing and protective oil that gives the hair a beautiful, healthy finish to the routine. This is absolutely indispensable! It is also a protector against the use of a straightener.
Step 5. Then style the hair well with a straightener to close the hair cuticles. You can also use a curling iron if you want curls.
And you are good to go!
How do I comb or brush my hairextensions?
How do I comb or brush my hairextensions?
We advise combing or brushing the hair extensions several times a day.
It is advisable to hold the hair roots with one hand and only comb or brush when the hair is dry. The best is to comb the extensions with a wide-tooth comb or brush. Do you have curly extensions? Then it is important to comb the extensions damp with a wide-tooth comb to prevent frizz and tangles. Absolutely do not brush!
When brushing or combing, it is very important to comb/brush the entire hair from the roots to the ends properly. If you don't do this, the hair will tangle and over time will no longer be easy to comb. So take good care of them.
If you don't wear extensions, it is important to thoroughly comb your own hair starting from the scalp. Do you have tangles? Then you comb them out, right? With hair extensions, it is the same.
When hair is wet, it is important to gently comb/brush the hair starting from the ends and gradually work your way up with the comb/brush. This prevents hair breakage. Therefore, never apply too much force when combing or brushing.
How do I wash my hair extensions?
How do I wash my hair extensions?
It is important to comb or brush our hair extensions well before washing. We recommend washing the permanent hair extensions 1-2 times per week and caring for them with conditioner and a nourishing mask.
Using a good pH-neutral shampoo, conditioner, and a nourishing hair mask will extend the lifespan of your hair extensions.
We advise washing our hair extensions from top to bottom. Washing them upside down causes the hair to tangle. Also, do not be rough or wild with the hair during washing, as this also causes tangles. By washing from top to bottom, the hair will not tangle and you can enjoy your hair extensions longer.
It is very important to use the mask both on the ends and throughout the lengths of the hair. Be careful when applying from the bonding or edge, for example with a weave, to prevent sagging.
Why a pH-neutral shampoo and a nourishing hair mask or hair cream?
Hair extensions no longer receive natural nourishment from the hair root. Therefore, it is important to help the extensions with good care. The hair remains soft and manageable. Olive oil products are a good choice to keep the hair healthy. Moreover, the hair loves Moroccan Argan oil, so choose what suits you. We ourselves notice that Argan oil works best.
In any case, make sure that the products do not contain parabens, silicones, or alcohol. We strongly recommend using Moroccan Argan/essential oil every day so that the hair does not dry out. Do not use too much, otherwise the hair becomes too greasy.
Clip-in/Wire/Halo/U-Part Extensions:
- For daily use: If you wear clip-in/Wire/Halo/U-Part extensions daily, it is advisable to wash them approximately every 15 to 20 wearing days. However, this can vary based on how many styling products you use and how much dirt and oil they collect.
- For less frequent use: If you wear them less often, for example for special occasions, you can wash them when you think they need it. If they still look good and smell fresh, you do not necessarily have to wash them.
Ponytail Extensions:
- For daily use: If you wear the Ponytail extensions daily, you can consider washing them every 10 to 14 days. This can of course vary based on how quickly they get dirty and how many styling products you use.
- For less frequent use: If you wear them less often, for example only for special occasions, you can wash them when you think it is necessary.
It is important to note that washing too frequently can contribute to wear of the extensions. Make sure to handle them gently during washing and let them dry well before using them again.
Keep in mind that these guidelines are general and individual circumstances may vary.
How do I dry my hair extensions?
How do I dry my hair extensions?
We advise drying the hair gently with a towel.
Make sure to do this from top to bottom to prevent tangles. Do not squeeze the hair upwards, but always from top to bottom. Let the hair air dry to keep it healthy.
It is also possible to dry the hair extensions with a hairdryer on the low or medium setting. However, we advise, just like with your own hair, to use a heat protectant spray or serum for protection against the heat.
Can I style or curl my hairextensions?
Can I style or curl my hair extensions?
Yes, it is absolutely possible to use a straightener or curling iron on our hair extensions. However, we advise, just like with your own hair, not to do this too often, as it can lead to drier hair or more tangles than usual.
Note: do not set the straightener higher than 200 degrees! Always use a spray or serum against the heat.
Keep in mind that using a curling iron can affect the quality of the hair. Make sure the heat of the curling iron is not too high and always use a spray or serum against the heat.
With frequent use of styling tools (if a curling or straightening iron is used too often, especially without a heat-protective serum), the quality of the hair will deteriorate because the hair no longer receives nourishment from the roots. The hair cannot optimally recover and will break over time.
If you notice the hair becoming drier, it is time to take action. Care for the hair as soon as possible to prevent further damage.
Some important tips:
- Maintain a temperature of the straightener or curling iron of maximum 180-200 degrees!
- Never leave the straightener or curling iron in one spot for too long to prevent burning the hair.
- Make sure the hair is completely dry before styling. Wet hair is most vulnerable and can be damaged.
- Do you use hairspray for hold? Always apply it after curling and not before or during curling to prevent burning the hair.
- ALWAYS use a heat protector (if you don’t, the quality will deteriorate faster!).
- Always wash the hair well with conditioner and a nourishing hair mask after curling to nourish the hair. Always let it air dry, do not use a hairdryer.
If the straightener is too hot (for example above 180–200°C), your hair extensions – even those made of 100% human remy hair – can be damaged.
Here is what exactly happens:
What happens with too much heat?
- Drying out of the hair
The moisture in the hair evaporates, making it stiff, dull, and brittle. Extensions dry out faster than your own hair because they no longer receive natural oil production (sebum). - Burning of the hair fibers
At too high temperatures, the hair cuticles can break open or even scorch. This results in split ends, frizz, and loss of softness. - Loss of texture
Does your hair have a body wave? Heat above the safe limit can permanently deform or destroy that texture. - Faster tangling & breakage
The damaged structure leads to more friction and thus faster splits, tangles, breakage, and loss of wear time.
✅ What is safe then?
- Use a straightener or curling iron between 160–180°C
- Always use a heat-protective product
- Work in small sections and do not hold the iron too long in one spot
- Let the extensions dry well before using heat
💡 Even remy human hair is sensitive to too much heat — treat it as carefully as your own hair, or even more carefully.
Can I swim with my hairextensions?
Can I swim with my hair extensions?
It is possible to swim with the hair extensions. We advise you to wash the hair immediately after swimming with a good pH-neutral shampoo, a good conditioner, and a hair mask. Finish with Argan oil or olive oil.
Be careful if you swim in saltwater! Saltwater extracts moisture from the hair, just like with your own hair, which can cause the hair to become dry and tangle.
Make sure you do not braid the hair when swimming in saltwater. It is wiser to wear the hair up or in a ponytail.
Can I exercise with my hair extensions?
I like to exercise, can I work out with my extensions?
It is absolutely possible to exercise with the hair extensions.
It is advisable to wash the extensions after exercising, as dirt accumulates through perspiration.
We also recommend doing this with a good shampoo and conditioner.
If you exercise a lot, it is wise to ensure that no dirt builds up at the roots.
How do I wear my extensions while sleeping?
How do I wear my extensions while sleeping?
- Always comb or brush the extensions thoroughly before sleeping or storing.
- Always start from the roots and work downwards — this prevents tangles.
- Tangles form quickly if you don't brush properly, and only get worse.
- Hold the hair roots with one hand, and brush gently with your other hand.
- Brush or comb only when the hair is completely dry.
- Braid your hair after brushing, especially before sleeping.
- Never sleep with wet or damp hair — this increases the chance of severe tangles.
How long can I use my hair extensions?
How long can I use my hair extensions?
Our extensions last a long time, up to 2 years (depending on the type of extension)!
However, it is very important how you care for the hair extensions. If you treat your hair extensions like your own hair and take good care of them, you will enjoy them longer. We only offer the highest quality premium 100% human virgin and remy hair, because this gives the most natural look.
Because it is not treated with chemicals, you can also enjoy the hair extensions longer.

Dyeing Capilli hair extensions
Yes, our hair extensions can be dyed in some cases. However, there are some important considerations you need to take into account.
Read our following tips and advice carefully.
We strongly recommend having the dyeing done by a certified professional. This reduces the chance of unwanted results and ensures that the right professional products are used.
Note: because extensions have already undergone a treatment, the absorption of color can vary and the final result is not always predictable, even with professional coloring.
Do not use Henna or dye from drugstore packets. Always choose the right professional products, applied by a qualified stylist or color specialist in the field of hair extensions, who knows what he/she is doing.
Additionally, we advise to only dye from light to dark. We strongly discourage dyeing from dark to light. The hair may then possibly not reach the desired color, get damaged, or break. It would be a shame if you can no longer use the extensions as you intended.
If you have a specific color in mind, please contact us to discuss the possibilities. We can provide custom work for all your wishes.
Coloring and bleaching extensions
Our extensions are made from 100% human hair and can be colored in some cases. However, because the extensions have already undergone a treatment, the absorption of color may differ.
- We do not offer any guarantee or support for coloring or bleaching extensions. This is done entirely at your own risk.
- Bleaching is strongly discouraged, as it can damage the hair and reduce quality. The warranty is voided with bleaching.
- The final color can vary due to factors such as the hair dye used, processing time, and previous treatments of the hair.
- Always use mild, ammonia-free hair dye and first test on a small strand of hair to see how it reacts.
- Coloring can affect the quality, softness, and lifespan of the extensions. Therefore, extra care with moisturizing masks and oils is essential.
We deliver our extensions as ordered and cannot provide any guarantee on hair coloring. Changes to the extensions, such as coloring or styling, are at your own responsibility.

I have chosen single drawn or double drawn, what should I pay attention to?
Single drawn: This variant has thinner ends and contains shorter hairs at the tips. If you have chosen single drawn, know that the ends are a bit more delicate and require extra care. Make sure to follow your hair routine without damaging the ends.
Double drawn: In the double drawn variant, the hairs are full and thick all the way to the ends. It is important to follow your hair routine as described above.
My hair extensions are very dry, what can I do?
If the hair is dry, you can do the following:
- Wash the hair with conditioner, avoid shampoo as this can dry out the hair even more. Let the conditioner absorb for 3 minutes and then rinse the hair.
- Then use a good hair mask to nourish the hair. Distribute it evenly. Let the mask absorb well for 15 minutes and then rinse it out.
- Gently pat the hair with a towel, but do not make it too dry.
- Spray or apply Argan oil or olive oil and comb or brush the hair well. Make sure to remove any tangles thoroughly.
- Let the hair air dry. Do not use a hairdryer.
- Style as desired. For straight hair, it is recommended to treat the hair once with a flat iron to close the hair cuticles for a good result.
- It is also good to periodically do a deep conditioning treatment to nourish the hair extra. This can be done, for example, with an oil treatment that you leave on overnight and rinse out in the morning. Always pay attention to using products suitable for hair extensions, avoid products with alcohol or harsh chemicals, as these can damage and dry out the hair.
It is recommended not to use heat products or devices for the coming week and to continue caring for the hair well to allow it to recover optimally.
When should I reposition my extensions?
It is very important to know that not every extension can be worn for a long time. We want to show you when and why it is important to reposition your extension on time.
- All types of Weave extensions we offer:
With a Weave extension, it is important not to leave the weave in too long, as your hair can be damaged by matting. If you leave a Weave in too long, new hair from your own scalp will tangle with the extensions. This can lead to damage to your own hair or even breakage.
We recommend caring for the hair every 6-8 weeks by combing and repositioning. The exact timing for repositioning may vary per person. So consult your stylist in time.
- Handwoven weave:
- Do not use shampoo with disinfectants, as this can damage the glue.
- Do not wash the hair with extremely hot water and do not take it into the sauna, as this can damage the glue.
- When washing the hair, do not rub too hard over the weave, as it is a handwoven product and the edge may become looser.
Take good care of it and you will enjoy it for a long time! We recommend caring for the hair every 6-8 weeks by combing and repositioning. The exact timing of repositioning may vary per person. So consult your stylist in time.
- All types of Bonding extensions we offer:
When extending with bonding extensions, it is possible to wear the system for 4 - 6 months. We recommend not wearing them longer to prevent hair breakage. Consult your stylist in time.
- All types of Tape extensions we offer:
It is possible to reuse Tape hair extensions with the help of new adhesive strips. We advise doing this every 4 - 6 weeks to avoid damaging your own hair and to prevent tangles from the roots. The exact timing of repositioning may vary per person. So consult your stylist in time.
- Nanoring extensions:
We advise you to have nanoring extensions repositioned every 8 - 10 weeks to prevent damage to your own hair. Due to tangles, it would be a shame to damage or break your hair. The exact timing of repositioning may vary per person. So consult your stylist in time!
- Clip-in Extensions:
Placement: Clip-in extensions can be placed when you want to add extra length or volume to your hair, for example for special occasions or daily use.

Removal: Remove the wire before going to bed. This ensures that no unnecessary tension is placed on your own hair.
- U-Part Extensions:
Placement: U-Part extensions can be placed when you want to create a natural look with the option to show your own hair. They are suitable for daily use.
Removal: Remove the U-Part wig before going to bed to prevent unnecessary tension on your own hair.

Removal: Remove the Ponytail before going to bed to prevent pulling on your own hair.

I have hair loss from my wax extensions, how can this happen?
This can have several reasons. It can happen because the bonding was not pressed properly during application. It can also occur if too high a temperature was used when applying with the heat tool.
Keep in mind that there will always be an average hair loss of about 10%.
