HOW TO WASH CLIP-IN HAIR EXTENSIONS



Clip in Hair

Clip-in hair extensions are the most straightforward and fastest ways to increase the length, volume, and style of your natural hair. They’re also far gentler for your scalp than tape-in extensions or weaves because they require no glue, chemicals, or heat. Though they’re generally not an excellent choice to wear while swimming or working up a sweat, many of our customers consider it a plus that remy clip in hair extensions are so easy to remove and replace.

Brush

Before you do anything with your extensions, brush them gently. Whether you’re clipping them in or preparing to wash them, this step always comes first. Why? Doing so minimizes your chances of being left with a large tangle later. Nipping knots in the bud means you’ll never have to risk harming the texture of your hair or pulling it out of the clip in braided hair extensions entirely.

Hold a few wefts in one hand - about one inch down from the clip. On the other hand, work on the ends of the hair with a brush, pulling down gently, and repeat, starting a little bit higher up the hair shaft each time until the brush can slide through the entire length of hair with no resistance.

Next, wet the hair entirely. To do this, we recommend holding a weft from the clip under a gently running faucet, so it doesn’t have the opportunity to tangle. Using the other hand, run your fingers down the length of the hair to loosen and rinse off any product or oil buildup. These are some top hair extension tricks for thin and fine hair.

CoWash

What’s CoWashing? CoWashing is hands down our favorite technique for caring for natural hair. CoWashing stands for conditioner-only washing - meaning that instead of using shampoo, a conditioner is used to wash the hair. Unless you have extremely oily hair (which is rarely the case for anyone with curly or natural hair), conditioner is all you need to do a thorough washing. After being massaged into the hair and scalp, conditioner helps to loosen dirt, oil, and products from the hair, much like shampoo - only gentler. After that, the act of rinsing the hair with water carries all of the daily grinds down the drain.


CoWashing is simple, too. After wetting the hair, place a generous amount of conditioner into one palm, and using the fingers of the other hand, run it through the hair - in sections if necessary - until every piece is saturated.


If you want to deep-condition your extensions, spread them on a clean surface and let them sit for 15-30 minutes. If you’ve conditioned them recently and want a quick wash, you can let the conditioner sit for two or three minutes.

Rinse

Holding one or two wefts at a time, gently rinse the extensions under a light stream of warm - never hot - water. You can use the fingers of your other hand to delicately comb downwards to help carry the product off the hair. Don’t skimp on this step! If the conditioner is not thoroughly rinsed out, it will remain on the strands, attracting dirt and making it difficult to produce much volume even after it’s dry.

Patience

The next step is easy: let your extensions sit and air dry! To do this, we recommend laying hair out on a microfiber towel, which is delicate on the hair’s texture. Before laying them down, you can squeeze any excess water with your fingers, but never rub them with a towel. Leaving them to dry overnight is ideal - ensure they are scorched before handling them again, as hair is more likely to develop tangles when wet.

Brush and go!

Finally, brush the wavy curly clip in hair extensions repeatedly, using the same steps as above. Feel free to run a bit of finishing oil through them to ensure a long-lasting shine.

Conclusion:

Caring for hair extensions is easiest when they are high-quality. Whether you like being able to remove them at the end of the day, want to give your roots and scalp a rest, or like the ability to change up your style on the regular, clip-in extensions should be in every woman’s bag of tricks.
