The perfect daily care routine for extensions and toupees

Proper care of hair extensions and toupees is crucial to prolong their lifespan and maintain a natural look. Here is an insight into the perfect daily care routine and the steps that our Paris Hair Expert Annette from Munich recommends to keep hair extensions and toupees in top condition.

In the morning

1. Gentle cleansing: I start my day by gently cleansing my hair extensions and toupees. A mild, sulfate-free shampoo helps remove dirt and excess oil without drying out the hair. I gently massage the shampoo into the hair extensions and rinse thoroughly.

2. Moisturizing Conditioner: After cleansing, I apply a moisturizing conditioner to keep hair soft and smooth. I focus especially on the ends and leave the conditioner in for a few minutes before rinsing.

3. Detangling: To avoid tangles, I use a wide-toothed comb or a special detangling brush. I gently comb the hair from the tips to the roots to avoid damage.

4. Leave-in conditioner: A leave-in conditioner is ideal for providing additional moisture and protecting the hair from external influences. I spray the leave-in conditioner onto towel-dried hair and distribute it evenly.

5. Heat Protection: When I plan to use heat styling tools such as a blow dryer, flat iron or curling iron, I always apply a heat protection spray. This helps minimize heat damage and preserve the integrity of the hair extensions and toupees.

At evening

1. Gentle brushing: Before bed, I gently brush my hair extensions and toupees to remove tangles. A soft brush or wide-toothed comb is best to avoid damage.

2. Moisturizing: To moisturize the hair overnight, I apply a light hair oil or serum to the ends. This prevents dryness and split ends and ensures that the hair is soft and shiny in the morning.

3. Protection while sleeping: To minimize tangles and friction, I braid my hair extensions or tie them in a loose ponytail. I sleep on a silk pillowcase or wear a silk bonnet to provide additional hair protection.

Weekly Extras

1. Deep Cleanse: Once a week, I use a clarifying shampoo to thoroughly remove product buildup and residue. This helps keep hair clean and fresh.

2. Intensive care: Once a week I treat my hair extensions and toupees to intensive care with a deep-acting hair mask. I leave the mask on for 15-20 minutes to intensively nourish and repair the hair.

3. Professional cleaning: Every few weeks I have my toupees professionally cleaned and restyled to ensure they stay in top condition.

These steps have helped me keep my hair extensions and toupees in a healthy and natural condition. With the right care, hair extensions and toupees can not only last longer but also maintain their appearance and texture.
