How to Wash Capsule Hair Extensions
Quick answer: Wash capsule extensions standing upright in the shower, never tipping your head forward, and use a sulphate-free shampoo. Massage the scalp gently between the bonds with your fingertips, keep rich conditioners and oils off the capsules, and rinse well. Afterwards, blot with a towel rather than rubbing, and dry the roots and bonds first on a low setting. Book on WhatsApp.
What is the right way to wash capsule extensions?
Wash standing in the shower, not tipping your head forward over a bath. Wet the hair, apply sulphate-free shampoo to the scalp and roots, and massage gently between the bonds with your fingertips. Let the lather run down the length rather than piling the hair on top of your head.
How should I use conditioner near the bonds?
Apply conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends, keeping it well away from the capsules. Rich oils and heavy masks near the bonds can soften the keratin over time, which is exactly what loosens a set early. Smooth it through the length, leave it a moment, then rinse thoroughly so no product sits on the hair or around the bonds.
What should I do after washing?
Squeeze the water out gently with a towel, never rubbing or twisting, which is how knots start at the root. Dry the roots and the bonds first with a dryer on a low setting, then work down the length. Never sleep with wet hair or wet bonds, because damp keratin is weaker and the hair tangles badly overnight.
- Hair extension correction is
- the routine maintenance of capsule extensions every 3 to 4 months, where the master removes grown-down bonds, refreshes the strands and re-bonds them near the root.
What does real hair extension work in Dubai look like?
Real clients in my studio, not stock photos: every frame is taken right after the fitting, with no retouching of volume. Swipe through results on Premium Slavic hair with invisible bonds and look at the hairline and the parting, where cheap extensions give themselves away first.
How do the bonds look and move up close?
Short vertical clips of the process and real results, so you can see how the bonds look and move before you book. The videos play on tap and have no sound, and the technique they show is the same work you will get in the chair at The H Hotel.
In twenty years I learned one thing: the client's own hair matters more than any length or volume. If a method risks it, I offer another.

Frequently asked questions
How often should I wash?
Every 2 to 3 days is typical. Over-washing dries the hair; too rarely lets product build up at the bonds.
Can I wash upside down?
No. Wash vertically so the bonds and hair do not tangle.
Which shampoo?
A sulphate-free one. See our shampoo guide.
