Caring for Your Hair Extensions – Do’s and Don’ts for Long-Lasting Results
Hair extensions are an investment in your confidence and style—so it makes sense to want them looking gorgeous for as long as possible! Whether you’re new to extensions or a seasoned pro, following the right care routine will help you get the most from your Kerrie Capelli hair.
Do’s for Hair Extension Care
1. Do brush gently and regularly.
Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush designed for extensions. Start at the ends and work your way up to avoid unnecessary tugging and breakage.

2. Do use KC 
sulfate-free, extension-safe products.
Harsh shampoos and conditioners can strip moisture and weaken the bonds. Opt for gentle, hydrating formulas to keep both your natural hair and extensions soft and healthy.

3. Do dry your extensions thoroughly.
After washing, gently squeeze out excess water with a towel—don’t rub! Always let your extensions air dry or use a blow dryer on a cool setting.

4. Do protect your hair while sleeping.
Wrap your hair in a silk or satin scarf, or use a silk pillowcase. This reduces friction, tangling, and breakage overnight.
