The long-term preservation of clip-in hair extensions depends on proper maintenance techniques since they require careful investment. Knowing when to wash your clip-in extension is the most critical component when properly caring for your extensions. The lack of natural oil production in clip-in extensions eliminates the need for frequent washes, unlike human hair. Regular washing is needed for clip-in extension upkeep when styling products accumulate or when environmental elements combine with tangles to form buildup. Understanding the proper care procedures for your Cashmere Hair Clip-in Extensions starts with this comprehensive guide we've created just for you.

How Often Should You Wash Your Clip-in Extensions? 

Washing frequency depends on both how often you use the extensions and the amount of product buildup form on them. 


  • If you have oily hair/scalp: Wash & Condition every 3 - 5 wears
  • After using hairspray or styling products: Wash & Condition 1 - 2 wears
  • Dry hair / scalp: Wash & Condition 10 - 15 wear
  • Normal Hair / scalp: Wash & Condition 5 - 10 wears
  • If you swim with them (not recommended): Wash, condition & use Cashmere Hair ® Deep Treatment immediately

Step-by-Step Washing Routine

Using the Cashmere Hair Extension Care Set according to expert recommendations will allow you to clean your extensions safely while increasing their longevity through the following washing process:


1. Brush Gently: Start by brushing your extensions gently with the Cashmere Hair® Brush, this brush is specially made to gently detangle tangled hair and is safe on extensions. Focus on starting from the ends, then move toward the top.


2. Prepare Your Wash: Begin by filling a sink with lukewarm distilled water which protects against mineral deposits and then combine it with Rebalancing & Moisturizing Shampoo.


3. Secure the Extensions: Securely tie your extensions together with a hair band that keeps each segment aligned by holding them together at the clips.


4. Wash Gently: Dip the extensions into the water before applying the shampoo by moving it downwards. Avoid rubbing to prevent tangles.


5. Rinse Thoroughly: After rinsing with lukewarm water use a gentle squeeze motion to drain liquids from the extensions without twisting the strands.


6. Condition: Apply Rebalancing & Moisturizing Conditioner to your hair and use your fingertips to distribute it across. Allow the mixture to rest for a couple of minutes before washing it off.


7. Deep Treatment (Optional): The Cashmere Hair® Strengthening & Smoothing Deep Treatment serves as an optional deep treatment to bring extra hydration every few washes. Leave the treatment on for five minutes before rinsing it off.


8. Drying Process: Use a towel to dry the excess moisture and then flat-dry your extensions on a surface or just suspend them to airdry naturally. Avoid wringing or rubbing.


9. Final Touch: Apply our brilliant Extension Shine Spray with a light touch after drying to provide protection and smoothness.


10. Style as Desired: The natural drying process of extensions produces light waves without deliberate styling efforts. Apply a mousse or gel for better wave control or heat up your tools to heat style the extensions according to your preference.
