Caring for Zascha Hair extensions with ERA TUA
The Zascha care guide

Beautiful hair? We'll take care of that together. 

You finally have that beautiful, full head of hair you're so happy about. And of course, you want your extensions to stay beautiful, soft, and shiny for as long as possible. We totally understand!

Fortunately, you don't need to be a professional hairstylist to care for your extensions properly. A little love, the right products, and a few smart tricks can work wonders.

From washing and drying to styling and storing: we'll tell you exactly how to best care for your beautiful locks.

Because you can never have too many good hair days!

01 / Less is more

Wash your extensions. But not too often!

We understand. There's nothing like freshly washed hair that smells wonderful. But did you know that your extensions don't need to be washed that often?

In fact: the less often you wash them, the longer they stay beautiful.

Our guideline is approximately one wash every 15 to 20 wears. Do you use a lot of styling products? Then an extra wash might sometimes be necessary.

Do your extensions feel a bit stiff, heavy, or greasy? Then it's time for a little pampering. Are they still wonderfully soft? Then that shampoo can stay in the cabinet for a while longer!

With daily use and proper care, our Clip-in Extensions last on average about 6 to 8 months. Do you wear them less often and treat them carefully? Then you can often enjoy them for much longer.

02 / Time for a wash

How to wash your extensions like a pro.

No complicated rituals or hours in the bathroom. With these six steps, your extensions will get exactly the care they deserve.

01 — PREPARE

Brush first

Gently brush through your extensions before getting them wet. Start at the ends and work your way up slowly. This prevents tangles while washing.

02 — WET

Nice and lukewarm

Carefully wet each section with lukewarm water. Very hot water is not needed anywhere and can unnecessarily dry out the hair.

03 — SHAMPOO

A little is enough

Distribute a small amount of shampoo over the hair. Gently massage from top to bottom. Do not rub or knead it through!

04 — RINSE

Wash away that shampoo

Carefully rinse out the shampoo. Make sure no product residue remains, so your hair stays nice and airy.

05 — CONDITION

A little extra love

Apply conditioner from the middle down to the ends. Let it sit for 5 to 10 minutes for extra care. Avoid the roots and the attachments.

06 — DRY

Take it easy, beauty!

Rinse everything out thoroughly and gently pat the hair dry. Do not wring or rub. Gently detangle the hair and then let it air dry.

A tip from us

Did you know that you don't need a separate hair mask at all? Our ERA TUA conditioners are wonderfully nourishing and can be used perfectly as a mask. Let them sit for 5 to 10 minutes, rinse thoroughly, and enjoy wonderfully soft hair. It can be that simple!

03 / Our care favorites

The secret to wonderfully soft hair?

The right care! Because no matter how beautiful your extensions are, you can really let them down with the wrong hair products.

That's why we are a big fan of ERA TUA. Wonderful scents, fine ingredients, and exactly the care your locks can use.

Zascha extensions drying on the Storage Hanger
04 / Just let it hang

A hairdryer? Better not!

Your extensions are wonderfully clean, but before you grab the hairdryer... Wait just a moment!

We recommend always letting your extensions air dry. A hairdryer can unnecessarily dry out the hair, especially when it is too hot or used the wrong way.

Our favorite solution? Hang your extensions on a Storage Hanger or Styling Unit and let them dry slowly.

This way, the sections stay neatly hanging, they dry without unnecessary friction, and you have time for more fun things in the meantime. A coffee to go with it? ☕

05 / Developed with love by Zascha

Beautiful curls? Yes please! Heat damage? Better not. 

We love a beautiful wave, full curls, or a super smooth look. But all that heat is of course not so kind to your extensions.

And because we are quite critical when it comes to hair care (oops!), we simply developed our own ERA TUA x Zascha Hair heat protector!

Specially designed with the needs of 100% human hair extensions in mind. The formula helps protect the hair from the heat of your favorite styling tools.

Because of course we do want those beautiful curls and shiny locks, but not the dry ends that can come with it.

Our golden tip: Spray the heat protector evenly over the hair and let it dry completely before you start with the curling iron or styling iron.

This way, beautiful hair stays beautiful.

06 / Time to shine

From beautiful curls to mirror-smooth hair.

Straight, curly, an elegant wave, or a full head of Hollywood curls? With our 100% human hair extensions, you can go any way you want. And that's what we love!

But remember: the less heat, the better. Use good styling tools, work in small sections, and do not set the temperature higher than necessary.

Our extensions can withstand temperatures up to max 220°C, but usually you can achieve a beautiful result at a much lower temperature.

And the Dyson Airwrap? We prefer not to recommend it for our extensions. Although the curls can be beautiful, we notice from experience that they don't stay in as well.

Don't forget your nourishing serum or hair oil either. A little bit in the lengths and ends helps keep the hair beautifully supple. Especially do not use too much, because we want shiny hair, not greasy strands. 

Just remember!

A good brush is worth its weight in gold. Always start at the ends and work carefully upwards. This prevents unnecessary pulling, tangles, and damage. Your extensions will thank you!

07 / Bye yellow glow!

Has your beautiful blonde color become a bit warmer?

Do you have beautiful blonde extensions, but notice that the color becomes a bit warmer over time? No panic! Fortunately, you can do something about it.

With the right color shampoo, you can help neutralize unwanted yellow tones, so your blonde locks look a bit fresher again.

But pay attention: extensions can absorb pigment faster than your own hair. So never let a silver shampoo sit for too long. Before you know it, you're walking around with a purple glow. Also nice, but probably not exactly what you intended!

Our tip: Always read our instructions first and test the product on a small section if in doubt.

Your extensions deserve a nice place too.

Your favorite extensions loose at the bottom of a drawer? Or somewhere in a bundle in your suitcase? Oh... better not!

Roll the extensions carefully, close the bag with the snap button, and you're ready to go. This helps prevent tangles and unnecessary damage.

Because let's be honest: such a beautiful head of hair deserves a little luxury?
