How to Store Real Human Hair Extensions

Wondering how to store real human hair extensions safely? Whether for short-term use or long-term storage, proper handling can prevent tangling, frizz, or damage — and keep your extensions beautiful for months to come.

If you wear your hair extensions daily or every few days, store them in a way that is easy to access and maintains their shape:

Store on a wig stand (Best Option)

Helps maintain shape and prevents tangling

Keep in a dry, ventilated area, away from direct sunlight

For clip-in extensions, a hair net can help reduce dust buildup

Store in a silk or satin bag

Wrap the extensions in a hair net to prevent friction

Place them in a silk or satin storage bag to reduce static and dust

If you won’t be using your hair extensions for 1 month or more, protect them from dust and moisture:

Store in a Storage Box (Recommended)

Secure extensions with a hair net and place them in a clean storage box

Add a silk scarf or tissue paper at the base to help maintain shape

Keep in a cool, dry place, away from moisture and direct sunlight

Store in a Hanging Bag or Drawer

Use a dedicated storage bag with separate compartments to prevent tangling

Avoid storing near sharp objects to prevent snagging or damage

Loosely Braid Long Extensions

Prevents tangling—gently braid the extensions before storing

Avoid braiding too tightly, as it may leave creases

Be careful not to do this to the short extensions, as this will cause the hair ends to curl up.
