Yes, it is best to avoid exposing your extensions with chlorinated water, as it can negatively affect the color. Before swimming thoroughly wet your hair with clean water. Then, apply a leave in conditioner, or regular conditioner to create a protective barrier for both your natural hair and the extensions. After swimming, rinse and shampoo your hair immediately to remove any chlorine.

Apply a sulfate-free shampoo apply the shampoo to your wefts and gently massage the weft between your two fingers. Rinse thoroughly, if possible use a handheld showerhead on a high-pressure setting to ensure all shampoo is rinsed out.
