Hair Extensions Care 101: Use a Moisturizing Conditioner to Prevent Dryness & Shedding
Let’s be real, nobody wants dry, stiff extensions. At Dreamless Hair, we believe your extensions, wigs, and lace products deserve the same level of love and care as your natural hair. The secret to keeping them looking soft, silky, and flawless? A good moisturizing conditioner-PERIOD.

Moisture is everything if you want your extensions to maintain that fresh-install energy. Whether you’re rocking our body wave bundles or an HD lace frontal, moisture keeps them looking brand new. In this guide, we’re giving you the real tea on how to choose the right conditioner, how to apply it the smart way, and all the little steps that help your bundles last longer, shine, and stay soft to the touch.
If your hair’s been feeling a little thirsty lately, don’t stress. We got you!
Why is moisture everything to Hair Extensions?:
Hair extensions don’t get the natural oils your scalp produces, so it’s super easy for them to dry out, especially if you’re styling often or using heat tools. Once that moisture is gone, it’s a wrap- hello frizz, tangles, and breakage.
That’s why using a moisturizing conditioner isn’t optional—it’s essential. Moisture helps your extensions stay soft, shiny, and manageable. If you want them to last more than just a few installs, this is where it starts.
Picking the Right Conditioner:
Not all conditioners are created equal, especially when it comes to extensions. Here’s what you need to look for:
-
Marula Oil Deep hydration, shine, and split end repair.
-
Argan Oil Fights frizz, softens, and defines curls.
-
Panthenol (Vitamin B5) Locks in moisture and strengthens hair.
-
Amino Acids Repair and protect the hair shaft.
-
Aloe Vera Juice soothes the scalp and restores shine.
How to Use Conditioner the Right Way:
Okay, here’s where a lot of people mess up. You can’t just slap conditioner on your hair and call it a day. For real results, follow these steps:
-
Detangle first with a wide-tooth comb or your fingers.
-
Apply conditioner evenly, focusing on the mid-shaft to ends (not the roots or wefts).
-
Let it sit for 5–10 minutes - extensions love a good soak.
-
Rinse with cool water to lock in shine and smoothness.
And boom-soft, bouncy hair ready for the world.
Deep Conditioning:
Deep conditioning is the glow-up moment your extensions need. If your bundles are feeling dry, stiff, or just not lying right, this is your go-to.
How to deep condition like a pro:
-
Apply a generous amount of deep conditioner
-
Cover with a plastic cap or sit under a steamer for 15–30 mins
-
Rinse and let your extensions air dry for the best finish
You’ll be amazed at how revived and luxurious your hair looks afterward.
