What aftercare should I use on my extensions?

Last updated on Nov 04, 2025

To keep your hair extensions looking and feeling their best for as long as possible, it’s essential to follow a dedicated aftercare routine. Proper maintenance not only preserves the quality and longevity of your extensions but also helps prevent common issues such as dryness, matting, and breakage.

We strongly recommend using a specialised range of products formulated specifically for hair extensions, as regular hair care products can contain harsh ingredients like sulphates and alcohols that may compromise the condition of both the extensions and your natural hair.

At SimplyHair, we offer a full range of aftercare products designed to nourish, protect, and prolong the life of your extensions. As a general guide, we suggest including the following key products in your routine:

  • Sulfate-Free Shampoo – A gentle cleanser that won’t strip the hair of essential moisture. Our SimplyHair Hair Extension Shampoo is specially formulated to cleanse without damaging the bonds or drying out the extensions.

  • Hydrating Conditioner – Moisture is key to preventing tangles and dryness. Our SimplyHair Hair Extension Conditioner is lightweight, nourishing, and ideal for daily use.

  • Repair Mask – For deep conditioning, use a rich hair mask once a week to restore softness and manageability. Our SimplyHair Hair Extension Repair Mask offers intensive hydration and repair.

  • Heat Protection Spray – If you use heated styling tools, always apply a heat protectant first to shield your extensions from damage. Our SimplyHair Heat Protection Spray helps minimise breakage and split ends.

  • Leave-In Conditioner – Ideal for detangling and daily moisture, a leave-in conditioner keeps extensions soft and smooth throughout the day. Try our SimplyHair Leave In Conditioner to maintain manageability and shine.

  • Argan Oil or Serum – A few drops of a lightweight oil or serum can help smooth frizz and add a glossy finish. Our SimplyHair Argan Oil is perfect for giving your extensions a healthy, natural-looking sheen without weighing them down.

By incorporating these products into your regular hair care routine, you can help ensure your extensions remain in beautiful condition, wash after wash. Always follow the specific advice provided by your stylist, and avoid any products not formulated for use with extensions, as these can lead to premature wear or damage.
