5 min read
Quick answer
Hair extension maintenance in the UK means gentle brushing correct washing scheduled refits and professional removal. Sleep with hair protected avoid heavy oils at the roots and book refits before attachments slip or tangle.
I just got extensions. What does good maintenance actually look like?
Brush from ends upward support the roots when washing and keep a soft hold at night. Use extension-safe products and avoid pulling. Your stylist should give a written aftercare plan for your method.
How often do I need a refit?
It depends on growth and method. Tape-ins and micro rings both need scheduled maintenance. Waiting too long causes tangling and stress on your natural hair.
Can I gym and swim?
Yes with care. Clean sweat from the scalp dry thoroughly and follow product rules for your attachments. Ask us for method-specific tips at Hector's Mortlake.
