Hair Extension Aftercare

Caring for Your Haus of Hair Extensions

Congratulations on your new Haus of Hair extensions.

Our extensions are crafted from 100% Remy Human Hair, selected for their exceptional softness, longevity and natural appearance. With the correct care and regular maintenance, your extensions can typically last 12–24 months, and often longer.

Following these aftercare guidelines will help keep your hair looking beautiful while protecting both your extensions and your natural hair.


The First 48 Hours

For tape extensions, avoid washing your hair or exposing the adhesive tabs to excessive moisture for the first 48 hours after fitting. This allows the adhesive to bond securely.

For all extension methods, avoid excessive sweating, swimming or steam during this period where possible.


Brushing Your Extensions

Brush your hair at least twice daily using a professional extension brush.

Always support the roots with one hand while brushing to avoid unnecessary tension.

Begin brushing at the ends before gradually working upwards towards the roots.

Never brush wet hair aggressively.


Washing Your Hair

We recommend washing your extensions 2-3 times per week, depending on your lifestyle.

Before washing:

  • Brush your hair thoroughly to remove any tangles.
  • Ensure your hair is knot-free.

When washing:

  • Use a sulphate-free, extension-safe shampoo.
  • Wash your hair in a downward motion.
  • Avoid rubbing or scrubbing the hair together.
  • Gently massage the scalp.
  • Rinse thoroughly.


Conditioning

Apply conditioner only to the mid-lengths and ends of the hair.

Avoid applying conditioner, oils or hair masks directly onto:

  • Bonds
  • Tapes
  • Wefts
  • Nano rings
  • Keratin bonds

Product build-up around the attachment points may cause slippage or reduce the lifespan of your extensions.


Drying

Never go to bed with wet extensions.

Gently squeeze excess water from the hair using a towel.

Avoid vigorous rubbing.

Always ensure the attachment area is completely dry after washing.

If blow drying, use a medium heat setting and direct airflow down the hair shaft.


Heat Styling

Although your extensions are made from premium human hair, excessive heat may cause damage.

Always:

  • Use a professional heat protection spray.
  • Keep styling temperatures as low as possible.
  • Avoid excessive daily heat styling.

Never apply heat directly onto extension bonds, tapes or attachments.


Sleeping

Before going to bed:

  • Ensure your hair is completely dry.
  • Brush thoroughly.
  • Tie your hair into a loose braid or low ponytail.

This helps prevent tangling while you sleep.


Swimming & Holidays

Before swimming:

  • Tie your hair into a braid or ponytail.
  • Avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine and salt water where possible.

After swimming:

  • Rinse your hair immediately with clean water.
  • Wash and condition your extensions as soon as possible.

Sun cream, tanning products and chlorine may affect lighter shades of hair.


Gym & Exercise

During exercise we recommend tying your hair back securely.

Sweat should be washed from the scalp regularly to help maintain healthy extension fittings.


Maintenance Appointments

Professional maintenance is essential.

We recommend booking maintenance every 6–10 weeks, depending on your extension method.

Regular maintenance helps:

  • Prevent matting
  • Protect your natural hair
  • Maintain comfort
  • Extend the lifespan of your extensions

Failure to attend regular maintenance appointments may result in unnecessary damage and could affect the lifespan of both your natural hair and extensions.


Colouring Your Extensions

Haus of Hair does not recommend bleaching or lightening extensions.

Any colouring or toning should only be carried out by an experienced professional and is undertaken entirely at the customer’s own risk.

Chemical treatments may permanently alter the quality of the hair and will void any quality guarantee.


Products We Recommend

For the best results, always use:

  • Sulphate-free shampoo
  • Sulphate-free conditioner
  • Professional extension brush
  • Heat protection spray
  • Lightweight hair oil (applied only to the mid-lengths and ends)

Avoid products containing excessive alcohol, sulphates or harsh chemicals.


Things to Avoid

To protect your investment, avoid:

  • Sleeping with wet hair
  • Excessive heat styling
  • Bleaching the extensions
  • Chlorine where possible
  • Applying oils near the attachment points
  • Brushing aggressively
  • Skipping maintenance appointments
  • Removing the extensions yourself


Extension Lifespan

With professional fitting, regular maintenance and correct aftercare, Haus of Hair extensions typically last 12–24 months, and often longer.

As our extensions are made from natural human hair, longevity will vary depending on:

  • Lifestyle
  • Home care routine
  • Heat styling
  • Swimming frequency
  • Chemical exposure
  • Maintenance schedule

Natural wear over time is expected and is not considered a product fault.
