Do\u2019s<\/strong><\/h4>\n
    \n
  1. Wash your extensions with a mild shampoo and a conditioner. Treat it as your own hair. Regular cleaning is very important.<\/li>\n
  2. Invest in good-quality hair extensions like Darling Soft Rough and Ultra Dred Weave.<\/strong><\/a> Cheap extensions can look stiff and dry out quickly. Good quality hair extensions last for a longer period and give you a natural look.<\/li>\n
  3. Apply oils, leave-in conditioners, and moisturizers to maintain the level of moisture. This will keep your extensions hydrated and healthy.<\/li>\n
  4. Make it a point to comb your extensions at least 2-3 times a day. Use a wide-toothed comb and be gentle. Do not pull too hard, it might damage your bonds.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Don\u2019ts<\/strong><\/h4>\n
      \n
    1. Using heat styling tools can often damage your extensions. Nevertheless, if you plan to use it, make sure you apply a heat protectant on your extensions.<\/li>\n
    2. Do not expose your extensions to salty or chlorinated water, they harm your extensions like they would harm your natural hair.<\/li>\n
    3. Chemically processing or colouring can prove to be very harmful. Synthetic extensions are already dyed, colouring it again can make it porous and extremely dry.<\/li>\n
    4. Sleeping with wet hair is the most common mistake one can make. Make sure your extensions are completely dry, braid it, or tie it in a loose ponytail. Sleep on a satin pillowcase or wear a satin scarf to prevent your extensions from becoming dry and brittle.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
