What products should I use? I love this question because often clients will spend thousands on extensions and then use high oil, high sulfate shampoo that their husband and everyone else uses.
Most shampoos have harsh detergents that deposit chemicals within the cuticle layers and will not completely rinse out. This will leave the hair dry and crisp feeling.
What to look for: Sulfate-free shampoo with moisturizing properties! And if you can find paraben-free then that's double awesome. I am a huge advocate for Virtue Labs products made in the USA.
It's recommended that you don't use volumizing products on your hair extensions. However, because I work with amazing quality hair extensions, it's possible to use a volumizing shampoo and a restorative conditioner.
