Can I Reuse My I-Tip Extensions?Updated 8 hours ago

Yes, but not all I-Tip extensions are made to last through multiple installs. At SL Raw Virgin Hair, we offer premium salon-grade I-Tips that can be reused when cared for properly.


Which I-Tips Are Reusable?

Raw Indian I-Tips

  • Crafted from 100% single-donor raw hair 

  • Reusable for up to 2–3 installs

  • Ideal for multiple re-installations when removed correctly

Seamless I-Tips

  • Made from high-quality Remy hair

  • Designed to last up to 12 months with proper care 

  • Best suited for fine to medium-density hair

⚠️ Curly I-Tips

  • Can be reused if handled gently

  • Avoid heavy brushing or excessive heat styling between installs

  • Store carefully to maintain curl definition



How to Remove and Store I-Tips for Reuse

To get the most from your extensions, follow these tips:

  • Have them removed by a professional stylist. Avoid yanking or twisting strands.

  • Clean the hair gently using sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.

  • Lay flat to dry and store in a silk or satin bag to prevent tangling.

  • Do not re-use tips with buildup, matting, or damage.

  • See I-Tip Hair Extension Guide for more 



When Not to Reuse I-Tips

You should avoid reusing I-Tip hair if:

  • The keratin or tip base is broken or loose

  • The hair is shedding, frayed, or over-processed

  • You’ve used high heat, bleach, or heavy product buildup

  • The strands are no longer blending well with your natural hair
