How to Wash, Brush & Sleep with Hair Extensions | BRUSH Amsterdam
Hair extensions deserve just as much love and care as your natural hair — maybe even more. At BRUSH Amsterdam, we only work with 100% premium Remy human hair extensions. Whether you wear tape-in or clip-in extensions, here’s exactly how to care for them like a BRUSH Beauty.
How to Wash Your Hair with Extensions
- ✅ Use a sulfate-free, gentle shampoo.
- ✅ Massage shampoo into your scalp carefully without tangling the bonds.
- ✅ Rinse thoroughly and apply conditioner only to the mid-lengths and ends.
- ❌ Avoid applying conditioner directly on tapes or clips.
- ✅ Use lukewarm water, never hot.
How to Brush Hair with Extensions
- ✅ Use the MANE MAVEN ZigZag brush — designed specifically for extensions.
- ✅ Start brushing from the ends and work your way up to the roots.
- ✅ Hold the roots gently to prevent tugging at the bonds.
- ❌ Never brush wet extensions — wait until fully dry.
- ✅ Brush 2–3 times daily, especially before bed.
Sleeping with Hair Extensions
- ✅ Gently brush and tie your hair in a loose braid or low ponytail before sleeping.
- ✅ Sleep on a silk pillowcase to reduce friction and tangles.
- ❌ Never sleep with wet hair — it increases tangling and tension.
Bonus BRUSH Tips for Beautiful Extensions
- ✅ Apply a small amount of oil (like Young again oil or Shimmer Shine) to the ends 2–3 times per week.
- ✅ Use Color WOW Dream Coat for frizz-free shine and protection.
- ✅ Follow the B3 Extension Care Regimen recommended by our BRUSH experts.
- ✅ Let your BRUSH expert give you personalised guidance — they know your hair best.
