With proper care, your hair extensions should last up to 12 months. Just like your natural hair, activities like bleaching and excessive heat can cause damage and decrease the lifespan of your hair extensions. Review our Hair Care + Maintenance guide.

Clip-in hair extensions can be installed in many ways. If you’re leaving your natural hair out, simply part your hair in thin sections, snap the clips open and click them closed onto the roots of your hair. If you’re braiding your hair down, follow the same steps but snap the clips onto the braid. Once installed, the clip-ins should feel comfortable not tight. If you experience any pulling or tugging, adjust the clip by snapping open and moving to a more comfortable position before clicking closed.

We recommend using a gentle co-wash or sulfate-free shampoo to clean your hair extensions and follow up with a rinse-out conditioner. Deep conditioning with heat is highly recommended for any color-treated hair. Avoid using heavy creams, shea butter, or products with shea butter in them.

We do not recommend sleeping in clip-ins as it can cause friction or breakage to your natural hair. Hair extensions can also become matted or tangled if slept in.
