When Do Hair Extensions Typically Start to Tangle?

Under normal conditions, high-quality human hair extensions should not develop noticeable tangles within the first few days.

In general:

• Weeks 1–2: Significant tangling is uncommon.
• Weeks 3–6: Mild tangling may gradually appear due to everyday friction.
• Hair longer than 22 inches: More prone to tangling than shorter lengths.
• Curly hair: More prone to tangling than straight hair.

If severe tangling occurs only a few days after receiving your extensions, check whether:

• You slept with your hair loose.
• You frequently brushed against the natural direction of the hair.
• You used styling products with a high alcohol content.
• Your hair has not been properly moisturized or maintained.
• The hair is low-quality or non-Remy.
