Best Hair Extensions in Los Angeles: How to Take Care of Your Extensions Like a Pro

Caring for your extensions properly makes all the difference in longevity and shine. To understand the systems we use, start with Professional Hair Extension Systems by Anastasia.

Wearing the best hair extensions in Los Angeles comes with one golden rule — care for them like you would your own hair (or better). Whether you’ve just installed keratin bonds, tape-ins, or wefts, proper maintenance is the secret to keeping them soft, tangle-free, and undetectable for weeks.

At Hair Extensions Los Angeles, we provide luxury hair extensions that blend seamlessly — but to maintain that flawless look, at-home care is essential. Here’s how to protect your investment and keep your extensions beautiful for longer.

💧 Use Sulfate-Free, Extension-Safe Products

Choosing the right shampoo and conditioner is the first step. We recommend the MOMO Shampoo and Conditioner — both are gentle, sulfate-free, and perfect for keratin bonds and colored hair. These formulas won’t strip your extensions or loosen the bonds, which is crucial for long-lasting wear.

For deep hydration, we love Diveness Leave-In Conditioner. This lightweight spray nourishes your natural hair and extensions without leaving residue or heaviness. You can find both products directly at our salon.

🛁 Washing Tips for Hair Extensions

  • Brush before washing to avoid tangles.

  • Use lukewarm water — never hot.

  • Always shampoo downwards, never scrubbing in circles.

  • Apply conditioner from mid-lengths to ends — avoid roots and bonds.

  • Gently towel-dry — no rubbing!

💨 Drying & Heat Styling

Blow-dry your roots first to protect the bonds.

Let the rest air dry when possible.

If you heat style, always apply a heat protectant (ask us about the best one for extensions in stock).

💤 Nighttime Routine

Sleeping with loose hair is a no-go. Instead:

  • Braid your hair or use a silk scrunchie.

  • Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.

  • If you’re noticing dryness or slipping, check Why Do My Hair Extensions Slip, Shed, or Feel Dry?.

    Salon Touch-Ups

    Even with the best at-home care, professional maintenance is key. We recommend:

    • Tape touch-ups every 6–8 weeks

    • Keratin bond reinstalls every 3–4 months

    • And occasional trims to keep the ends healthy
