Milbon Products for Healthy, Long-Lasting Extensions
Extensions can elevate your look, but they also need thoughtful care to stay healthy, hydrated, and natural-looking. Anh Co Tran breaks down what he recommends for maintaining extensions at home using Milbon products.
Start With Hydration: Shampoo + Conditioner
The foundation of good extension care is moisture. Extensions don’t produce natural oils like your own hair, so they dry out easily. Anh stresses the importance of choosing a hydrating shampoo and a nourishing conditioner, especially for the mid-lengths and ends.
Anh’s Recommendation:
Milbon’s Reawaken Renewing Shampoo + Renewing Treatment
Anh loves this duo for its balance of hydration and lightweight nourishment. It keeps extensions soft without weighing them down, ideal for daily or regular maintenance.
Heat Styling Essentials
If you style your extensions with heat, using a heat-protectant is non-negotiable.
Anh’s Recommendation:
Milbon&’s Froth Blowout Foam
Froth provides optimal heat protection, while adding smoothness and control. It’s great for anyone who styles often or wants to maintain the longevity of curls and waves.
Leave-Ins + Daily Refreshers
Extensions (and your own ends) will always need extra hydration—without feeling heavy.
Anh’s go-to stylers to add hydration to extensions:
Milbon&’s Velvet Texturizing Cream: A lightweight cream that adds soft hydration and touchable texture. Anh uses Velvet constantly because it moisturizes without adding weight.
Milbon’s Reawaken Renewing Primer: A lightweight blow-dry primer that adds slip, softness, and moisture. Great before heat styling or as a leave-in anytime hair feels dull or dry.
Milbon’s Weightless Replenishing Mist: A soft, lightweight leave-in spray perfect for refreshing extensions between washes or adding hydration without buildup. This mist is perfect to maintain everyday softness, detangling, or reviving day-old hair.
Managing Humidity
If you live somewhere humid, or travel frequently your environment can impact your extensions too. Anh also recommends:
Milbon’s Humidity Blocking Oil: Use one pump on damp hair before blow drying to seal the cuticle and protect against frizz. If using on dry hair, apply sparingly to avoid separation or heaviness.
Don’t Forget the Basics
Extensions require physical maintenance, too.
- Brush them regularly (especially at the root area of the attachment) to prevent tangling.
- Keep oil-based products away from the bonds.
- Moisturize the mid-section and ends often, they dry out fastest.
With the right Milbon products and a simple routine, extensions stay soft, hydrated, and beautiful for longer.
