Hey bestie! Maintaining gorgeous hair — especially when extensions are involved — can feel like a full-time job.

Since extensions don’t get washed as often as natural hair, keeping everything soft, smooth, and frizz-free takes the right products. After testing and re-testing, these are the must-haves that always keep my hair looking salon-fresh and ready for anything!

1. Olaplex No.4 Shampoo – Repair in a Bottle

When your hair is feeling dry or damaged, this shampoo is a lifesaver. I use it about three times a week, and over time, it’s made my strands softer, stronger, and noticeably less fragile. It’s like a reset button for damaged hair, and it really helps bring back that healthy shine.

2. Moroccan Oil Serum – Frizz-Fighting Glow

This serum is my holy grail when frizz takes over or my hair feels extra tangled. Just one or two pumps smooth everything out, leaving my hair silky and shiny without weighing it down.

3. Ceremonia Hair Care – Lightweight Nourishment

Ceremonia makes amazing products overall, but there’s one I keep coming back to. It leaves my hair soft, touchable, and refreshed, plus the fragrance is a 10/10. A little goes a long way, which makes it perfect for regular use without any heaviness.

4. Dove Dry Shampoo – Quick Refresh on Busy Days

I’ve tried dry shampoos from every price range, but Dove’s line continues to impress me. It absorbs oil without leaving residue, doesn’t dry out my scalp, and adds just the right amount of volume. It’s my go-to when I need my hair to look fresh in seconds.

Healthy, shiny hair doesn’t always require an entire shelf of products — just the right essentials. With these four must-haves, maintaining hair extensions (and natural strands) feels effortless. From deep repair to instant refresh, each product plays its part in keeping hair smooth, soft, and full of life!
