Luxury extensions are an investment — and when they’re cared for properly, they can last months (even years) while still looking soft, shiny, and believable. Whether you’re a stylist or a client, longevity starts with understanding what your hair needs after install day.

Here’s how to protect and extend the life of your Sand + Sol Luxury Extensions.

1. Wash less, hydrate more.

Over-washing is the fastest way to dull your extensions. Treat them like luxury fabric — the less friction, the longer they last.Use sulfate-free, extension-safe shampoo and always follow with a deep conditioner or leave-in treatment. Your goal is moisture and slip, not squeaky-clean strands.

2. Brush like it matters (because it does).

Start from the ends and work your way up with a gentle detangling brush.Never brush wet — and always hold the base of your hair with one hand to avoid tension on your rows or tapes. A few mindful minutes a day keeps your blend smooth and your wefts intact.

3. Protect your hair while you sleep.

Silk pillowcase. Low pony or loose braid. No exceptions.Extensions are at their most fragile while you sleep — so treat them like jewelry.This one simple habit prevents matting and friction breakage better than any product can.

4. Avoid product overload.

Less is more. Stick to lightweight serums, heat protectant, and hydrating mists. Heavy oils can weigh down your extensions and loosen tapes or beads. Keep it simple, clean, and intentional.

5. Schedule maintenance religiously.

Extensions need love, not luck. Regular move-ups and professional toning sessions keep your Sand + Sol hair looking fresh, seamless, and strong.When your stylist uses luxury hair, they’ve already done half the work — the rest is how you care for it.

The bottom line:

Longevity isn’t luck. It’s routine.With the right products, protection, and consistency, your Sand + Sol Luxury Extensions will look salon-fresh long after install day. Because real luxury doesn’t fade — it just keeps getting better.
