You can ask your stylist as to what type of shampoo suits your extension type. This is crucial as not all shampoos are suited for hair extensions.

Bristles for hair extensions should be wide-spaced and soft. When brushing, start from the tips working your way upwards so that you will not be losing the links that are attached to your microlink hair extensions.
