Hair extensions are a fantastic way to achieve the length, volume, and style you've always wanted. However, just like natural hair, they require care and maintenance to keep them looking their best. Over time, your extensions might start to feel dry, lose their shine, or become tangled. The good news? You can easily revitalize them with the right products and techniques. In this guide, we'll walk you through how to bring your extensions back to life using our Intense Repair CPR Conditioner, specially formulated for hair extensions.

Why Hair Extensions Need Extra Care

Hair extensions, whether made from human or synthetic hair, go through a lot before they reach you. From processing to coloring, they often experience a level of stress that can leave them more prone to dryness and damage. Unlike natural hair, extensions don’t benefit from the natural oils produced by your scalp, which means they need a bit of extra love to stay soft and shiny.

Our Intense Repair CPR Conditioner is designed to deeply nourish and repair hair extensions, restoring their luster and softness. It works by penetrating the hair shaft to provide essential moisture and nutrients that extensions need to stay looking fresh and vibrant.

Step-by-Step Guide to Revitalizing Your Hair Extensions

1. Detangle Your Extensions

Before you start conditioning, it's essential to detangle your extensions. Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush specifically designed for extensions to gently remove any knots or tangles. Start from the tips and work your way up to the roots, being careful not to pull or tug too hard.

Tip: Always detangle your extensions when they’re dry. Wet hair is more prone to breakage, and brushing it while wet can cause unnecessary damage.

2. Cleanse with The Vanity Box’s Rescue Me! Shampoo

Next, it's time to cleanse your extensions. Use our sulfate-free shampoo to gently wash away any dirt, product buildup, and impurities. Sulfates can strip hair of its natural oils, which is the last thing your extensions need. Work the shampoo through the hair in a downward motion. If you’re wearing clip-ins or tape-ins, remove them before washing. For sew-ins or bonded extensions, make sure to clean the roots and extensions thoroughly, avoiding excessive scrubbing.

Step 3: Apply our CPR Conditioner

Now comes the hero of the process: CPR Intense Conditioner. This conditioner is specially formulated to penetrate deep into the hair shaft, delivering intense hydration and repair. It’s packed with nourishing ingredients that work to restore moisture, smoothness, and shine.

How to Apply:

1. Dampen the Extensions: If you’ve washed your extensions, you can apply the conditioner directly after rinsing out the shampoo. If you’re working with dry extensions, dampen them slightly with water to help the conditioner absorb better.

2. Apply Generously: Squeeze a generous amount of CPR Intense Conditioner into your palm. Start applying it from the mid-lengths to the ends of the extensions, where the most damage typically occurs. Avoid the roots if you’re working with bonded or sewn-in extensions, as too much conditioner at the base can loosen the bonds.

3. Distribute Evenly: Use your fingers or a wide-tooth comb to distribute the conditioner evenly throughout the hair. Ensure that every strand is coated, focusing on the driest and most damaged areas.

4. Let It Sit: Allow the conditioner to sit on the hair for at least 5-10 minutes. For deep conditioning, you can leave it on for up to 30 minutes. To enhance the treatment, wrap the extensions in a warm towel or cover them with a plastic cap to create a heat effect that helps the conditioner penetrate more deeply.

Step 4: Rinse Thoroughly

After the conditioner has had time to work its magic, it’s time to rinse it out. Use lukewarm water to thoroughly rinse the extensions, ensuring that all the product is removed. Leaving any residue can weigh down the hair and attract dirt, so be meticulous with this step.

Step 5: Drying and Styling

Gently squeeze out excess water from the extensions, but avoid wringing or twisting them, as this can cause breakage. Pat them dry with a soft towel. If possible, let the extensions air dry to minimize heat damage. If you’re in a hurry, use a blow dryer on a low heat setting, keeping it at a safe distance from the hair.

Once dry, you’ll notice that your extensions feel softer, more manageable, and look shinier. The CPR Intense Conditioner not only restores moisture but also adds a protective layer that helps reduce future damage.

Step 6: Maintain the Health of Your Extensions

Revitalizing your extensions with CPR Intense Conditioner is a great start, but ongoing care is essential to keep them looking their best. Here are some maintenance tips to follow:

• Avoid Over-Washing: Washing extensions too frequently can strip them of moisture. Aim to wash them every 7-10 wears, or whenever they start to look dull.

• Use Heat Sparingly: While it’s tempting to style your extensions with heat tools, overuse can cause them to dry out and lose their integrity. Always use a heat protectant spray and opt for lower heat settings.

• Brush Regularly: Regular brushing helps prevent tangles and distributes any natural oils or leave-in treatments you apply. Use a soft-bristle brush or a special extensions brush to avoid pulling or damaging the hair.

• Store Properly: If you’re not wearing your extensions daily, store them in a cool, dry place. Use a storage bag or a box to keep them dust-free and protected from environmental damage.
