Hair Extension Care
Extensions are an amazing way to enhance your look, but when you make the investment you want to make sure you are taking care of your hair properly. Here are our favorite insider tips to maintain your hair extensions:
Make sure you’re only using professional products on your extensions. The first step in any great hair routine is shampoo and conditioner! It is very important to use sulfate-free shampoo to ensure your extensions stay as hydrated as possible. A good go-to is Pureology’s Hydrate Shampoo & Conditioner.
Extensions are more prone to tangling so it’s very important to brush your hair often! Extensions should be gently brushed multiple times a day with an extension brush to avoid matting.
Hydration is key to retain moisture and softness for your extensions. Using hair oil or serum daily is the best way to do this. Kerastase’s Split End-Serum is a fan-favorite for this. When applying, make sure to focus products towards the ends.
Silk scrunchies will be your new best friend! Using a silk scrunchie is less damaging and kinder to the hair. Its also very important to sleep with your hair secured back in a low pony or loose braid to prevent matting while sleeping.
Lastly, when your extensions are in, avoid all chlorine and salt water! Chlorine and salt water will cause extreme dryness and reduce your extensions lifespan.
