How often should I wash my extensions to maintain their luster and prolong their lifespan? Is there an optimal frequency that strikes a balance between cleanliness and preserving the integrity of the hair? Extensions, whether they be synthetic or human hair, often require specialized care. The varying textures and styles can complicate maintenance routines. Could it be that the factors influencing this frequency include the type of extensions, methods of attachment, and even the products used in conjunction with them? Additionally, how do environmental factors, such as humidity and exposure to pollutants, play a role in determining whether or not daily washing is necessary? Should I consider my hair type, scalp health, and lifestyle when crafting a personalized washing schedule? Ultimately, how can I ensure that I keep my extensions looking vibrant, while avoiding excessive wear and the dreaded tangles that can ensue from neglect or over-washing?
