Matting is a common issue encountered during the wear of hair extensions, with its core causes closely linked to the quality of the extensions themselves and daily care practices. Low-quality synthetic hair extensions are prone to static, lack durability, and serve as a primary source of matting. In contrast, a scientific care routine can significantly reduce the risk of matting and extend the lifespan of hair extensions. 

Prevent Hair Extensions From Matting

I. Core Prevention Principles

The essence of hair extension matting lies in tangling caused by hair strand friction, dryness, or uneven force application. Prevention should center on the three core pillars of "reducing damage, maintaining smoothness, and minimizing friction," establishing a comprehensive protective system from product selection to daily care.

II. Professional Prevention Measures

(I) Opt for High-Quality Hair Extension Products

It is advisable to choose 100% pure human hair extensions. These extensions feature intact hair strand structures and neatly arranged cuticles, fundamentally reducing the risk of static and matting. High-quality hair extension products, commonly used in professional salons, undergo rigorous testing for toughness and smoothness, avoiding issues such as easy matting and shedding associated with low-quality synthetic hair. Everbeauting hair extensions provide you with 100% pure human hair, ensuring no tangling, shedding, or other issues—this is also why Everbeauting hair extensions are more suitable for use in professional salons.

(II) Standardize Daily Brushing Methods

Brush hair daily using a wide-tooth comb or a comb specifically designed for hair extensions. Start brushing from the ends and gradually work your way up to the roots to avoid direct pulling on the hair roots. When encountering stubborn tangles, do not pull forcefully. Instead, first gently separate the matted sections with your fingers before continuing to brush, minimizing hair breakage and further tangling.

(III) Strictly Control the Use of Heat-Styling Tools

High temperatures can damage the structure of hair extension strands, leading to moisture loss and raised cuticles, which in turn cause matting. Minimize the use of heat-styling tools such as hair dryers and curling irons. If their use is necessary, set them to a low-temperature mode and avoid direct contact between the tools and the attachment points of the hair extensions.

(IV) Select Suitable Hair Care Products

Prioritize shampoos, conditioners, and hair masks specifically formulated for hair extensions. These products have a mild formula, free from ingredients such as alcohol and sulfates, which can prevent hair strands from becoming dry and frizzy. When shampooing, first lather the shampoo in your palms before applying it to the hair. Gently massage the scalp and hair strands with your fingertips, and wash in a smooth motion from the roots to the ends. Avoid random scrubbing to prevent hair strands from tangling and forming knots.

(V) Enhance Protection During Sleep

Friction during sleep is a significant cause of hair extension matting. It is recommended to loosely braid the hair extensions before going to bed or use a silk pillowcase. Silk material can greatly reduce the friction coefficient between the hair strands and the pillow surface, minimizing hair tangling at night and maintaining the smoothness of the hair extensions.
