How to Care for Clip-In Hair Extensions: Wash, Dry & Store

How to Properly Care for Hair Extensions to Keep Them Looking Fresh - Her Hair Company

Clip-in hair extensions are designed for removable wear, so their care routine should be different from a sew-in or other installed extensions. Removing them at the right times, washing only when needed and storing them completely dry helps protect both the hair and the clips.

Remove clip-ins before sleeping, showering or swimming

Do not treat removable clip-ins like an installed hairstyle. Take them out before sleeping, showering or swimming so the clips and wefts are not exposed to unnecessary pulling, tangling or prolonged moisture.

Detangle before and after wear

Gently detangle from the ends upward before putting the pieces in and again after removing them. Work in sections and avoid pulling through knots from the top.

Wash only as needed

Clip-ins do not need a fixed wash schedule. Clean them when product buildup or repeated wear makes washing necessary. Handle the pieces gently and avoid rough rubbing that can create tangles.

Dry fully before storage

Allow the extensions to dry completely before putting them away. Storing removable human hair while it is still damp can create odor, tangling and unnecessary stress on the set.

Store them clean, dry and unclipped

After the hair is dry and detangled, close or release the clips according to the set's storage design and keep the pieces flat or naturally arranged so the wefts are not crushed. For HHC Brazilian Clip-Ins, keep the set clean, dry and unclipped for storage.

Use moderate heat

Current HHC Brazilian Clip-Ins can be heat styled. Use heat protectant and moderate heat, and avoid repeated high-temperature passes. If you plan to color the hair, professional service is the safer choice—especially around the attachment area.

Keep placement comfortable

Clip-ins should feel secure without pulling on a very small section of natural hair. Leave enough natural hair above each weft for coverage and reposition any clip that feels uncomfortable.
