Having hair extension problems? Our troubleshooting guides cover common issues including extensions slipping or sliding out, shedding, matting, tangling, dryness and problems with bonds or attachments. Explore practical advice to help identify what may be causing the issue and what to do next.
Hair extensions can become matted when strands tangle together and aren’t regularly separated through brushing and correct aftercare. Dryness, sleeping with wet hair, environmental exposure and overdue maintenance can all contribute. Addressing matting early usually makes it much easier to manage.
Hair extensions can tangle occasionally, but they shouldn’t constantly knot or become difficult to manage. Dryness, unsuitable aftercare, irregular brushing, sleeping with wet hair, heat styling and environmental exposure can all contribute. Hair quality also affects how smoothly extensions perform throughout their lifespan.
Hair extensions can become dry because, unlike your natural hair, they don’t receive a continuous supply of natural oils from the scalp. Incorrect products, heat styling, frequent washing, UV exposure, hard water and general wear can all contribute. Good-quality hair and consistent aftercare can help extensions stay softer for longer.
