Investing in human hair extensions can transform your look, adding length, volume, and a touch of glamour. To keep them looking their best and ensure they last, proper care and maintenance are essential. Here’s a comprehensive guide to looking after your weave, pre-bonds, tape, and ring extensions, featuring Luxliss Shampoo, Conditioner, Keratin Protein Replenish Hair Serum, and Keratin Heat Protection Shine Mist.
General Maintenance Tips for Human Hair Extensions
Regardless of the type of human hair extensions you have, some general care tips apply to all:
- Brush Gently: Use a wide-tooth comb or a special extension brush to detangle your hair. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid pulling and damaging the extensions.
- Wash Sparingly: Wash your extensions every week or when they become visibly dirty or oily to avoid stripping them of their natural oils.
- Dry Properly: Pat your hair dry with a soft towel and avoid rubbing, which can cause tangling. Whenever possible, let your hair air dry to minimize heat damage.

Specific Care for Different Types of Human Hair Extensions
Weave Extensions
Weave extensions involve sewing the extensions into braids in your natural hair. They require regular maintenance to stay looking their best.
- Retightening: Visit your stylist every 6-8 weeks for retightening to keep the weave secure and your hair healthy.
- Scalp Care: Ensure your scalp is clean and moisturized. Use a light oil or serum to prevent dryness.
- Washing: Use Luxliss Shampoo and Conditioner. Focus on the scalp and gently cleanse the weave. Avoid rough scrubbing to prevent tangling.
Pre-Bonded Extensions
Pre-bonded extensions are attached using a keratin bond. They require careful handling to avoid damaging the bonds.
- Avoid Conditioner on Bonds: When conditioning, avoid applying the product directly to the bonds to prevent them from loosening.
- Brush Carefully: Use a wide-tooth comb and be gentle around the bonds to prevent pulling.
- Heat Protection: Apply Luxliss Keratin Heat Protection Shine Mist before any heat styling to protect the bonds and the hair.
Tape Extensions
Tape extensions use adhesive strips to attach the extensions to your natural hair. Proper care is essential to maintain the adhesive’s integrity.
- Avoid Oils Near Tape: Do not apply conditioner or oil-based products near the tape to avoid weakening the adhesive.
- Detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb to gently detangle your hair, avoiding the tape areas.
- Heat Styling: Always use Luxliss Keratin Heat Protection Shine Mist before using heat tools to protect both the tape and the hair.
Ring Extensions (Nano and Micro Rings)
Ring extensions involve attaching small sections of hair with tiny metal rings. They are versatile but need careful maintenance to avoid slippage.
- Check Regularly: Regularly check the rings for any signs of slippage and visit your stylist for adjustments as needed.
- Gentle Brushing: Brush gently and avoid pulling on the rings.
- Heat Styling: Protect your extensions from heat damage by using Luxliss Keratin Heat Protection Shine Mist before styling.
Additional Tips
- Sleeping: Secure your hair in a loose braid or bun before bed to minimize friction and tangling. Sleeping on a silk or satin pillowcase can also help reduce friction.
- Avoid Excessive Heat: Limit the use of heat styling tools to prevent damage. When you do use them, always apply Luxliss Keratin Heat Protection Shine Mist.
- Regular Trims: Trim the ends of your extensions every few months to prevent split ends and maintain a healthy appearance.
By following these care tips and using high-quality products like Luxliss Shampoo and Conditioner, Luxliss Keratin Protein Replenish Hair Serum, and Luxliss Keratin Heat Protection Shine Mist, you can keep your weave, pre-bonds, tape, and ring extensions looking beautiful and feeling healthy for months to come.
