If you want your hair extensions to stay soft, silky, and beautiful —
you need more than just good hair.
You need the right care routine.

Every single day, women search:

• “How do I maintain hair extensions?”

• “What’s the best care routine for bundles?”

• “How do I make my sew-in last?”

• “How do you keep extensions soft?”

• “Why do my extensions get dry so fast?”

But here’s the truth:

Most women were never taught how to care for extensions the right way.

And the wrong routine will RUIN even the best hair.

Belle Société hair is designed to last months longer than traditional extensions —
but longevity isn’t just about quality.
It’s about the method.

This guide gives you the EXACT daily, weekly, and monthly extension care routine that keeps Belle hair:

✨ soft
✨ full
✨ smooth
✨ hydrated
✨ long-lasting
✨ flawless

Let's build you the routine that makes bad hair days impossible.

Why Hair Extension Care Matters

Hair extensions are not attached to your scalp.

Meaning:

✔ they don’t receive natural oils
✔ they can’t self-hydrate
✔ they depend entirely on your routine

So the WRONG habits lead to:

❌ dryness
❌ tangling
❌ shedding
❌ matting
❌ frizz
❌ stiffness
❌ dullness

But the right routine makes extensions last:

✨ 3x longer
✨ with less heat
✨ with less effort
✨ with more shine
✨ with more softness

Belle Société hair is clean-beauty processed, which makes it easier to maintain — but the maintenance routine completes the magic.

Your Daily Hair Extension Routine (Belle Société Method)

---

1. Brush Gently — But Not Constantly

Brush 1–2 times per day:

✔ start at the ends
✔ work upward
✔ use a wide-tooth brush
✔ avoid yanking
✔ support the weft with your other hand

Over-brushing causes breakage.
Under-brushing causes tangles.

Balance is everything.

---

2. Wrap or Protect at Night

Nighttime friction creates:

– tangles
– dryness
– frizz
– matting

Protect your hair with:

✨ silk scarf
✨ silk bonnet
✨ silk pillowcase
✨ pin curls
✨ wrap method

This is the #1 step that determines how long your install lasts.

---

3. Keep Products LIGHT

Avoid layering:

❌ wax
❌ gel
❌ heavy oils
❌ thick creams
❌ mousse buildup

Extensions perform best when they’re LIGHT and CLEAN.

Use:

✔ lightweight serum
✔ humidity-resistant spray
✔ water-based moisturizers

Your hair will stay soft, not stiff.

---

4. Avoid Excessive Heat

Heat damages extensions the same way it damages natural hair — except extensions can’t repair themselves.

Limit:

✔ flat ironing daily
✔ curling daily
✔ blow-drying on high heat

Heat should be an accent, not a lifestyle.

---

Your Weekly Hair Extension Routine

---

1. Wash Every 7–10 Days

This keeps your hair:

✔ clean
✔ soft
✔ lightweight
✔ free of residue

Use:

✔ sulfate-free shampoo
✔ lightweight conditioner

Wash in a downward, smoothing motion — never scrub.

---

2. Deep Condition Only When Needed

Extensions don’t need heavy masks weekly.

Deep condition:

✨ every 2–3 weeks
✨ for 10–15 minutes
✨ focus on the ends

This restores moisture without weighing the hair down.

---

3. Check Your Leave-Out

Healthy leave-out = natural blend.

Weekly, check for:

✔ dryness
✔ heat damage
✔ buildup
✔ frizz

Moisturize your natural hair so your leave-out doesn’t break.

(See Blog #65 for leave-out care.)

---

4. Refresh the Style Without Heat

Instead of restyling from scratch:

✔ pin curl
✔ flexi rods
✔ satin rollers
✔ wrap
✔ braid-outs

This extends your style AND protects your hair.

---

Your Monthly Hair Extension Routine

---

1. Trim Ends (If Needed)

Split ends happen — even on extensions.

If you notice frizzy ends:

✔ trim ½ inch
✔ shape the hair
✔ refresh movement

This keeps the hair looking new with minimal loss of length.

---

2. Revive (Belle Société Method)

Every 4–6 weeks:

✔ warm water
✔ lightweight conditioner
✔ soak & smooth
✔ rinse with cool water
✔ air-dry flat

This resets hydration, softness, and texture.

(Full revive method in Blog #67.)

---

3. Clarify Only When Hair Feels Heavy

Clarify only when:

✔ hair feels stiff
✔ product builds up
✔ texture won’t hold
✔ hair looks dull

Use a gentle clarifier, then follow with hydration.

---

4. Inspect Wefts for Shedding or Tension

This keeps installs healthy long-term.

Look for:

✔ loose threading
✔ tension spots
✔ pulled wefts
✔ thinning areas

Belle hair has reinforced wefts — but checking monthly keeps your install flawless.

---

Products to Never Use on Extensions

Avoid:

❌ alcohol-based sprays
❌ thick oils on the shaft
❌ heavy edge control on bundles
❌ too much mousse
❌ sticky curl enhancers
❌ clarifying shampoo weekly

These age the hair prematurely.

---

Products Belle LOVES

Use:

✨ sulfate-free shampoo
✨ lightweight conditioner
✨ silk-infused serum
✨ detangling spray
✨ heat protectant
✨ humidity-resistant spray

Simple.
Clean.
Lightweight.
Effective.

---
