How to Wash Capsule Hair Extensions
Quick answer: Wash capsule extensions vertically in the shower with a sulphate-free shampoo. Massage the scalp between the bonds, keep rich conditioners off the capsules, rinse well, and dry the roots first. Book on WhatsApp.
The right way to wash
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.
Conditioner and the bonds
Apply conditioner from the mid-lengths to the ends, keeping it away from the capsules. Rich oils and heavy masks near the bonds can soften the keratin over time. Rinse thoroughly so no product sits on the hair.
After washing
Squeeze out water with a towel, never rub or twist. Dry the roots and the bonds first with a dryer on a low setting, then the length. Never sleep with wet hair or wet bonds.
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.
