How to Care for Your Ice Fusion Hair Extensions

With proper care, your Ice Fusion Hair Extensions will stay smooth and beautiful for up to 3–4 months, until your natural hair grows out and it’s time for a reinstall.

Follow these professional aftercare tips from Bloom Studio Hair Extensions in Houston to maintain healthy, tangle-free, and long-lasting results.

Daily Care Routine

  • Brush your hair gently 2–3 times a day using a soft-bristle or extension brush, holding the roots to avoid pulling the bonds.
  • Use sulfate-free, lightweight shampoo and conditioner. Focus shampoo on the scalp and conditioner from mid-length to ends.
  • Avoid oils or conditioners near the bonds — they can cause slippage.

Washing Tips

  • Detangle before washing.
  • Wash with lukewarm water, keeping your head upright (avoid flipping your hair upside down).
  • Gently towel-dry and apply a leave-in conditioner or heat protectant before styling.

Styling and Heat

  • Always use a heat protectant spray.
  • Use low to medium heat when styling.
  • Avoid direct contact with flat irons or curling wands on the bonds.

Sleeping

  • Tie your hair in a loose braid or ponytail before sleeping.
  • Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and tangling.
