Have you ever wondered how to keep your hair extensions looking flawless while you sleep? Sleeping with hair extensions requires some special care to prolong their life and maintain your gorgeous look. At Reinholz Hair, we know your investment deserves the best care, so today we’re sharing our top tips for taking care of your extensions at night—plus how our Premium Membership can help you keep them looking fabulous all year long.

1. Brush Your Hair Before Bed

Before going to bed, gently brush your hair and extensions to prevent knots and tangles. Use a special brush for extensions or a soft-bristle brush that won’t damage the attachment points between your natural hair and the extensions. Brushing helps keep the hair aligned and reduces friction that can cause damage.

Reinholz Tip: Start from the ends and work your way up gradually to detangle gently and avoid unnecessary pulling.

2. Braid Your Hair Loosely

Sleeping with your hair extensions down can lead to tangling and breakage. To protect your extensions, gather your hair into a loose braid or low ponytail before bed. This minimizes friction and movement during the night, preserving the integrity of both your extensions and natural hair.

3. Use a Satin or Silk Pillowcase

Traditional cotton pillowcases can absorb moisture from your hair and create friction, leading to frizz and wear on your extensions. Switch to a satin or silk pillowcase, which reduces friction and helps your hair stay smooth and shiny. These pillowcases also help your hair retain its natural moisture.

4. Avoid Sleeping with Wet Hair

Never go to bed with wet hair. Moisture weakens the bonds of the extensions and increases the risk of tangles and breakage. Make sure your hair and extensions are completely dry before bed to extend their life and keep them healthy.

5. Hydrate and Care for Your Extensions Regularly

Nighttime is a great opportunity to let your hair treatments work their magic. Once or twice a week, apply a lightweight serum or oil to the ends of your extensions before bed. This helps keep them hydrated and prevents them from looking dry or lifeless.

Reinholz Tip: Avoid using heavy, greasy products near the roots or attachment points, as these can weaken the adhesive or bonds of your extensions.

6. Maintain Professional Care

Even if you follow these tips, it’s essential to get regular professional maintenance to check the placement and condition of your extensions. At Reinholz Hair, we offer the Premium Membership Program—a smart way to keep your extensions in top condition all year round.
