With your free hand, keep pressure on the base of your extensions to eliminate unnecessary tension and pulling while you brush. If you have two rows, separate out and brush each row separately. ​ Don't Forget the Oil Use a recommended oil through the ends once per day on dry hair. ​ Use Professional Products Always use salon recommended products including shampoo, conditioner, and heat protectant ​ Avoid Swimming in Chlorine and Salt Water If swimming cannot be avoided, rinse first with tap water and then apply and leave-in conditioner. Before swimming, braid hair tightly to avoid excessive tangles. Be careful with sunscreens, because most can discolor your extensions. ​ Working Out, Saunas, and the Beach When activities take place in  damp or humid conditions such as workouts, steam rooms, saunas, beaches, or lakes, make sure the extensions are dried immediately after. Focus on the top of the weft. ​ Avoid Sleeping with Wet Hair Before going to sleep, make sure hair is dry. Always loosely braid hair or place in a top knot to avoid matting
