How to Care for Butterfly Weft Extensions at Home — The Complete Guide

Minx Magic Weft™ butterfly weft extensions are built to last 6 to 12 weeks between move-up appointments — but only if you care for them properly at home. Here's exactly how.

Washing

Use sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Wash no more than 1–2 times per week. Shampoo at the scalp and condition mid-length to ends. Avoid putting conditioner directly on the wefts.

Brushing

Use a loop brush or extension-safe brush. Hold the hair at the root with one hand and brush from the ends upward in small sections.

Sleeping

Braid or low-ponytail your hair before bed. Sleep on a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction.

Heat & Styling

Always use heat protectant. Moderate heat settings are fine. Keep heat away from the weft itself.

What to Avoid

• Sulfates and harsh clarifying shampoos
• Chlorine and salt water without protection
• Sleeping with wet hair
• Rough towel-drying
