How to Make Your Sew-In Extensions Last Longer (Pro Tips)

A sew-in install should last — and look good — for weeks. But the secret isn’t just in the install, it’s in the maintenance.

How to Prolong Your Sew-In Install

Brush Daily

Using the right brush is everything. The CM Best Damn Brush You Will Ever Use is designed to glide through extensions without pulling or snagging.

Keep Your Scalp Clean

Clean your scalp regularly without disturbing your braids or wefts.

Dry Your Hair Completely

Never leave your foundation damp — this can cause odor, slipping, or irritation.

Sleep Protected

Use a satin or silk bonnet like the CM Bonnet to reduce friction and prevent tangling.

Avoid Heavy Products

Too much oil or buildup can weigh down your extensions and shorten their lifespan.

Stay on Schedule

Routine maintenance appointments are key to protecting both your extensions and your natural hair.

The Key to Long-Lasting Extensions

The right tools + the right routine = longer-lasting installs and healthier hair.
