Matting is evil! It’s one of the worst things that can happen to hair extensions. When your hair becomes impossibly tangled, it is damaging to your hair, your extensions, and your scalp. Knowing how brush your extensions properly is an essential part of keeping your hair beautiful, long, and healthy.

Brush using a soft bristle brush. The Hair Extension Brush is great because it’s made with boar hair, so the bristles are firm, but gentle. This brush won’t pull out hair or cause strain on the connection points.

To brush: hold your hair roots with one hand to support the bonds. With the other hand, brush gently by starting at the ends and working up toward the scalp. Always go in a downward direction to preserve the hair’s natural direction.

It’s important to brush at least three time a day. It’s one of the best ways you can get the most out of your hair extensions.
