Just like with clip-ins, it is important to take good care of your extensions so that you can enjoy them for as long as possible. After all, they are an investment. We recommend using mild, nourishing, high-quality products.
Which products do you recommend?
The ERA TUA Fresh Linen Daily Moisture Shampoo and Conditioner are perfect for both weaves and your own hair. They hydrate and nourish for a soft and healthy look.
Do you use a lot of heat on dark weaves? Then the Repairing Structure is ideal. For lighter weaves, we recommend the Color Protection.
Do you have another product that you like and has a nourishing base? Then that is often perfectly fine too.

How to wash them best?
- Use shampoo throughout the hair (including the roots) and massage it in gently
- Rinse thoroughly, especially at the attachment of the wefts
- Lift the wefts so you can rinse underneath them properly
- Use conditioner on the lengths and ends and leave it on for at least 2 minutes
Need extra care? Leave the conditioner on longer and use it as a mask.
Pro tip: Always use a heat protectant with styling tools and blow-dry the hair downwards to prevent damage.
In addition, use a nourishing serum or oil. Our favorites:
Color Wow Dream Coat
Wella Miracle Oil Serum
Kérastase Elixir Ultime
Also always use a good brush. Start at the bottom and work slowly upwards.
Which products do you recommend against?
Avoid products with keratin. This can make extensions heavy and stringy. We also notice that Olaplex does not always work well with extensions. Especially with clip-ins, this can cause a different structure than desired.
Due to the processing of the hair, the color can become slightly warmer with heat. This is normal and easy to correct with a silver shampoo. Read the blog about this first to prevent overdoing it.
SPF and Malibu C
Be careful with SPF and foundation. When this comes into contact with your extensions, a warm glow can occur.
Has this happened? Don't panic. Malibu C is your lifesaver! In this video you can see how to solve this.
What's Malibu?
Malibu C removes unwanted colors from your extensions, such as stains from sunscreen or overdone silver shampoo.
It can make the hair slightly stiff after use, but with a good conditioner it will become soft and beautiful again.
Extra tip
Make a braid before going to sleep to reduce friction. For extra care, you can use a silk bonnet or try heatless curls.
