Hair Extension Care Guide

Look after your extensions and they'll look after you. These are the same care rules our stylists give every Citrus extension client.

What to avoid

Washing your hair upside-down, or wrapping it in a towel upside-down, pulls on the extensions and can break your hair where they attach.

Dry your hair thoroughly before bed, especially at the roots. Sleeping on wet attachments breaks them down.

Rubbing hard with a towel stresses the attachments. Gently squeeze out the water and blot your hair with the towel instead.

Keep hot tools away from the root. Heat breaks down the attachments, which can make your extensions slip out and damage your own hair.

Keep your tools at 350°F or less and use them as little as possible. Never use a flat iron or curling iron at the root or near the attachments.

Keep conditioner and styling products away from your scalp and the attachments. Apply them to the mid-lengths and ends only.

Dry your hair thoroughly at the root. Never leave it wet.
Use a soft-bristle brush recommended by your stylist.
Be very gentle when brushing and drying.
Blow-dry on cool or warm, never too hot.
Avoid pulling or putting stress on the root.
Brush thoroughly, roots to ends, before washing.
Use a heat protectant on your hair.
Use the products we recommend, free from silicone, alcohol, parabens and sulphates.
