Why is moroccan oil good for your hair & extensions?
It is a restorative treatment for damaged hair and skin. It helps maintains hair extensions also, giving shine and moisture to the hair. It does not contain red colourings – this means it will not discolour the lighter hair extension tones.
How often do I need to brush and wash my hair extensions?
The more you wash your extensions, the more frequently you should be oiling them. Extensions are not attached to your scalp so they do not get the same oil that your hair produces naturally, so applying the Moroccan Oil daily will prevent them from drying out. If you find your extensions are getting knotty, it may be because they're lacking oil & moisture. Tangle teezers are highly recommended (hair brush)
