Remove the chlorine first: You must start with cleansing the chlorine from your hair. For this you can use a chlorine specific hair extension shampoo. It will not only clean the chlorine but also the copper deposits and thus soothing the hair.

Use conditioner: Although you had applied a bit of shampoo before now too you must apply some hair extension conditioner. It will moisturize your hair and give it a boost.
