Fabric softener on hair extensions?

[rose20]

I had a client the other night having extensions fitted, I gave her the aftercare pack and info at the consultation and upon fitting I was running through it all again with her so she understood. I said to use argon oil on the ends of the hair to keep smooth and speak and she Said 'oh I'll use fabric softener not oil' ehh?! has anyone else heard of this. I advised her not to as it may cause damage and to stick to the aftercare Info I have given her. The said shes had all sorts of extensions for years and she's always done this?!
not sure what to think, just wondering ignorance anyone else has heard of this?
TIA xx

I'm not brave enough to try it on my self! I know a friend who used to put a bottle of tomato ketchup on her own hair every month. Said it was better than conditioner! I just don't think I could take a bottle in the shower with me and it feel normal haha xx

I've always been told to put fabric softener on my extensions /clip ins. Makes then so soft and smell lush!x

I used to work with a girl who used fabric softener to condition her hair... blue lenor to be exact... seems strange to me!!

I remember people used to use it years ago when monofibre extensions were popular, it was pointless using expensive conditioners as there was nothing to penetrate so people used fabric conditioner, dont know why you would use it on human hair though.

Years ago I had my hair braided like Christina in the dirty video! It was back in the day when you could smoke in pubs and clubs. I used to wash it once a week and condition it with fabric softener!Done wonders lol and in between washes I used to spray it with fabreeze to get rid of the smell of smoke!!

Wlergh we used to use it to detangle our blocks at college. Personally im allergic to it as hell so I wouldnt recommend it to clients just incase.

I was told to use it on synthetic wigs xxx

I can understand using it on synthetic hair because it designed for that type of material,but human hair im not sure I would imagine it has lots of salt and other stuff in it
