Not all girls take the maintenance advice seriously and end up causing harm to their locks, if you don’t brush your hair, your natural strands and the extensions will get all tangled up, and there will be no other way to remove the extensions than by forcefully pulling them out, or even worse, cutting the hair.

 

 

 

 

 

Another thing to consider is sleeping with extensions, before you go to bed with your new hair, first check if you can sleep with your hair extension type. Check if you don’t feel comfortable wearing them and are getting headaches. You should give a few more minutes adjusting them and the issue recedes.
