Hair Extensions Care and Use

Hair extensions – just like our own hair – require regular, careful care and expert hands. At Impress Hair, we work exclusively with 100% real human hair, so these hairs behave naturally: they can dry out or break if not properly cared for.

In this guide, we have summarized the most important information about care and the usability of hair by type.

Care is the key to longevity

The success of hair extensions does not end in the salon. For hair extensions to remain beautiful, shiny, and soft in the long term, proper home care is essential.

Basic principles for all types of hair extensions:

  • Only use professional hair care products! (Recommended brands: Olaplex, Joico, K18, BlondMe)
  • Lightened/dyed hair extensions may be drier and therefore require increased hydration and nourishment.
  • Always use a hair extension brush for detangling; this protects the hair from pulling and breakage.
  • Avoid cheap, sulfate-containing, alcohol-based products, as they can damage the hair structure.

Due to chemical treatment, lightened and dyed hair extensions may be drier. Therefore, it is very important to care for hair extensions with appropriate products. Use professional hair care products specifically tailored to the needs of dyed and lightened hair.

Usability, or what is the hair suitable for?

Not all hair extensions behave the same way during chemical treatment. Whether they can be lightened or dyed depends on the type of hair. The table below summarizes what is and is not possible:

Improper chemical treatment (e.g., home bleaching, incorrect dyeing) can lead to a deterioration in the quality of the hair extensions. Therefore, all color treatments should be performed exclusively by a qualified hairdresser!
