Your Hair Extension Questions Answered by Colorado Springs’ Top Extension Experts

Extensions are a luxury investment, and you deserve to feel confident about every step of the process. At Lush Beauty Lounge, we love helping our clients understand how to care for their extensions so they can enjoy them for months at a time.

Here are answers to the questions we hear most often:

Can I wear my hair in a ponytail with extensions?

Yes! Our hand-tied extensions are installed with flexibility in mind. Whether you’re at the gym, heading to brunch, or running after kids, you can style your hair up without worrying about wefts showing.

Can I work out with extensions?

Definitely. Extensions are made to fit your lifestyle. We suggest braiding your hair or pulling it into a low bun before a workout. Afterward, refresh with a dry shampoo or misting spray (we love Kérastase Fresh Affair Dry Shampoo for post-gym touch-ups).

How should I brush extensions?

Use a Wet Brush or extension-friendly paddle brush. Always start at the ends and work your way up to gently detangle. This prevents unnecessary stress on the wefts and keeps your extensions looking smooth.

How often do I need maintenance?

We recommend move-up appointments every 6–8 weeks. This keeps your extensions secure and your blend seamless. Skipping maintenance can cause tangling or unnecessary stress on your natural hair.

What products should I avoid?

Extensions require a little extra care. Avoid sulfates, parabens, and heavy oils as they can weaken the stitching and dry out the hair. Instead, build your routine with professional products like Kérastase Nutritive Masquintense for hydration and shine.
