Brushing your extensions should be something you do regularly with great care and the help of the right tools. The most common misconception with Hair extensions is that you can use any old paddle brush for detangling and brushing out knots. WRONG! Brushes designed specifically for detangling like the Wet Brush Epic Professional Extension Brush are ideal when it comes to caring for your extensions. It's looped bristles are designed to not catch on extension clips or bonds and cause snagging and breakage to the hair.
Clip-in extensions definitely don't get as dirty as your natural hair does as there is no natural oil reaching the hair from your scalp; however don't take this as an excuse to wash them as little as possible. Washing is an extremely important factor when it comes to hair extension maintenance. Hair extensions are made up of very delicate hair that doesn’t receive the same natural oils and nutrients your own hair does; therefore you should definitely consider what shampoo you are using on your extensions! Consider shampoo’s such as the X-10 Hair Extension Shampoo or the Balmain Hair Extension Shampoo are formulated to smooth and detangle. Sulphate free shampoos such as the Zen Luxury Hair Extension Shampoo are recommended for bonded hair extensions as Sulphate often damages and corrodes the bonds. 
Leave-in conditioners are perfect for use in your hair extension maintenance routine. Try the X-10 Leave-in Treatment or the Balmain Detangling Spray; designed to reduce tangling and static, protect the hairs colour and provide the hair with instant conditioning, plus they smell gorgeous… bonus! Spray it onto your damp extensions and work it down the hair whilst detangling using a extension brush. A leave-in treatment is definitely enough when it comes to conditioner! You can actually be at risk of over-conditioning if you use hair masks and numerous conditioning treatments which will lead your hair to look dull, lifeless and actually cause them to get dirty again faster.It will always be best to let your hair extensions dry naturally when possible. Easier said than done when it comes to permanent extensions for sure, however setting aside half an hour extra to allow your hair to dry naturally would prove beneficial to ensuring your hair extensions stay luscious for longer. Excessive heat is detrimental on hair extensions, so using it sparingly or giving your hair a break is recommended.
In cases where you can’t avoid having to blow dry your hair, make sure to always use a low-heat setting to dry the bonds and surrounding hair, then style and dry the rest of your hair as usual.
In cases where your extensions can’t be removed before you rest your head for the night or plan on sweating it out at the gym, it’s best to tie them up in a ponytail or put them into a plait.
