How to restore your tangled extensions-Bleach bath





Here is how to go about it:

What you'll need:

  • Household ammonia
  • Clorox bleach (regular, no fragrance)
  • Shampoo
  • Conditioner
  • Hot water
  • The hair extensions
  • Rubber gloves
  • Wide tooth comb (for detangling)
  • 3 Basins (Or you can use your kitchen or bathroom sink)

The procedure:

1. Wear the rubber gloves

2. Detangle the extensions as much as possible using the wide tooth comb and your fingers

3. Pour some water into the first basin and add a few drops of shampoo. Mix it till there is a bit of a lather

4. Pour one gallon of hot but not boiling water into the second basin and add 1/4 to 1/2 a cup of clorox bleach to the water

5. Submerge your extensions into the bleach mixture (2nd basin), then using your wide tooth comb, comb the extensions continuously for 3 mins while keeping it submerged in the mixture

6. Remove the weave from the mixture, squeeze and dip the extensions in and out of the water and shampoo mixture that you prepared in  step 2 for about 1 min

7. Rinse with water

8. Pour out the shampoo and make a fresh one

9. Pour 3 cups of hot water in the 3rd basin and add 1/4 cup to 1/2 cup of the household ammonia

10. Dip the weave in and out of the ammonia mixture continuously for 1 to 2 mins, while still combing through with your wide toothed comb

11. Dip the weave in and out of the fresh shampoo mixture that you made in step 8

12. Rinse and condition with your moisturizing conditioner (silicon mix, hello hydration, Vo5 etc)

13. Rinse

14. Airdry
Caution:- DO NOT let the ammonia and bleach come in contact with each other, the resulting fumes could be fatal
- When bleach bathing your extensions work in a well ventilated area.


 You can get clorox bleach from pretty much anywhere
 Household ammonia is a cleaning agent so you may find it in the cleaning area of the supermarket.
