Proper care is essential for maintaining the longevity and appearance of your hair extensions. Here are some tips on how to properly care for your hair extensions:
“How to Properly Care for Your Hair Extensions.”
Brush your extensions regularly: Use a soft-bristle brush or a wide-tooth comb or you can do finger combing if it’s a kinky hair to detangle your hair extensions gently. Avoid pulling or tugging at the extensions while brushing as this can damage them.
Wash your extensions: Wash your hair extensions at least once a week or as needed. Use a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner and avoid using products that contain alcohol, as it can dry out the hair.
Air dry your extensions: Allow your hair extensions to air dry instead of using heat styling tools like hair dryers, curling irons, or straighteners. If you must use a heat styling tool, use a heat protectant spray to prevent damage.
Store your extensions properly: Store your hair extensions in a cool and dry place, away from direct sunlight, and moisture. You can keep them in a storage bag or box to prevent tangling or damage.
Avoid swimming or showering with your extensions: Chlorine and saltwater can damage your hair extensions, so it’s best to avoid swimming or showering with them. If you do get them wet, be sure to wash and condition them thoroughly afterward.
Get them trimmed regularly: Just like your natural hair, hair extensions also need to be trimmed regularly to prevent split ends and keep them looking healthy and fresh.
