Best Leave-In Conditioner for Hair Extensions
Posted by Hair Flair on 14th Sep 2016
Why It's Important to Use a Leave-In Conditioner
Leave-in conditioner helps you detangle and comb your hair more easily, which saves time. Using a leave-in after you wash helps keep hair extensions hydrated and acts like a 'primer' before applying styling products.
Tips
- Spray the product on the lower half of your extensions and ends – try not to get any on your bonds
- Use a wide tooth comb to distribute the product through the lengths of the extensions
