You absolutely love wearing your luxurious high quality clip-in hair extensions (just like us ) throughout the entire day and night—believe me when I say we share the same obsession. Before you go to sleep with your beautiful installed extensions still in place, we need to discuss the proper care for both your extensions and natural hair.

In today's post we analyze the proper and improper ways to sleep with extensions to preserve a flawless smooth look.

DON’T: Sleep in Clip-In Extensions

It is crucial to remove clip-ins before hitting the bed because overnight wear can create knots and tangles in both extensions and natural hair strands. Sleeping with clip-in extensions leads to frizzy hair while applying unnecessary strain on your scalp roots and making your clip bonds wear down. Both your extensions and natural hair can become severely matted during the night because tossing and turning disrupts their position. No thanks!

DO: Store Extensions Properly

Let your extensions have their own peaceful rest time while you head to bed. Before going to sleep take out your clip-ins and smooth the hair before putting them into a clean dry storage spot. Using our Cashmere Hair Extension Storage Bag & Hanger combined with proper extension handling will give you tangle-free extensions that stay safe for your next stunning appearance.

DON’T: Go to Bed with Wet Hair (or Extensions)

Always keep your natural hair and clip-ins dry before trying to go to bed. Your hair becomes incredibly fragile when wet so sleeping with it that way will cause breakage while producing frizz and damage. Before sleeping be sure to dry your hair fully to ensure proper rest.

DO: Use Silk Pillowcases

The benefits of silk pillowcases extend to all hair types since using one protects your natural hair even when you decide to sleep extension-free. Using silk on your pillow reduces everyday friction, controls frizz while simultaneously protecting both your natural hair and any installed extensions from damage during sleep. Your hair will thank you for making this simple switch!

If You Must Sleep in Extensions...

Understandably our schedules may create situations where removing your clip-ins is not possible. If you must sleep in your clip-ins we recomment pinning your hair into a low braid or ponytail and wearing a silk scarf or bonnet to protect it. Using this method will decrease the risk of your hair tangling and becoming damaged from friction.

Caring for your extensions properly will make them look fabulous throughout their entire lifespan.
