How To Shampoo Weave Extentions
Shampooing hair with extentions is basically the same as shampooing your own hair except that the shampoo you use should be a detangling shampoo.
Use warm a temperature for extention hair or to harsh a shampoo. This could strip the hair causing it to tangle.
Hair should be shampooed and detangled with fingers at the same time.
Run a detangling conditioner through the hair and rinse to better detangle when done.
Oil base products on scalp will remove extentions added with glue.
