Hair extensions DO and DON’T
Mar
Hair extensions – girl’s best friend. The friend that never betrays, always there for you, completes your look, and pushes your confidence up to the cloud. Thus, you need to treat your hair extensions with love, cause I bet no one wants to kill up a perfect look with a terrible hair day. No doubt!
The best way to guarantee that your hair extensions remain for a long time and continue to enhance your appearance is to treat them properly. Here is the Do and Don’t to keep you an all-time flawless hair look.
Things to DO with your hair extensions
DO sleep on a good pillowcase material
If you have bonded extensions, replace the cotton pillowcase with a silk or satin one. These fibers won’t grab and pull on your hair at night like cotton fibers do because of how finely woven they are. A silk pillowcase reduces friction and prevents tangles. Satin scarves and sleep hats also work well. Rather, you can avoid tangling by tying your hair up in a bun before bed.
DO brush your hair every day with a loop brush
Your real human hair extensions will continue to look wonderful with the help of a decent hairbrush and a regular brushing schedule. You should brush your hair every day, with a brush designed for hair extensions. Choose a brush with broad bristles to help you untangle your hair and avoid matting. Begin by detangling the ends of your hair, then gradually work your way up. To make your hair easier to manage, split it into little pieces and always brush downward. One tip that people usually don’t know is to have the brush nearby while you’re in the shower. Before rinsing after co-washing, give your hair a good brush to distribute the conditioner. To lessen shedding and matting, brush the hair once more once it has dried.
DO use quality hair care products
You can style your hair with oils, creams, and other styling treatments, but stay away from the bonds that adhere your extension to the scalp. To occasionally give your extensions the oomph they need, you can always turn to leave-in conditioners, and moisturizing serums. This will keep the strands moisturized and healthy. Use as many natural items as you can when you wash, condition, and style your hair.
DO avoid salty or chlorinated water
The chlorinated water in most pools and the water from the ocean can harm the quality of real human hair extensions. Avoid swimming without wearing the proper hair protection. Always wear a cap to the water and minimize the chance of having your hair wet. Chlorine can swell the hair and cause tangling. Rinse your hair immediately after you swim. Don’t let the chlorine dry in your hair. One useful tip is to refresh your hair with fresh water before going swimming. A barrier made of freshwater will prevent chlorine from accessing your hair.
DO take a break
Hair extensions are ordinarily sewn in or glued on. In either case, wearing hair extensions frequently can harm your natural hair and scalp. Taking breaks between appointments and allowing your scalp to breathe are essential for maintaining the health of your natural hair. Or else, you will properly go bald sooner or later.
DO buy extensions match your hair
Generally speaking, the purpose of a hair extension is to “extend” the length of your natural hair. Choose a real human hair extension that most closely matches the tone and texture of your own hair to get a unified look. Consider purchasing a full lace wig that will give you a natural look from root to tip if you want to achieve a look completely different from your natural hair color and style.
DO go to the salon
If you have any trouble with your hair extensions or need extra care for it. Go to the nearest salon. An expert hair stylist will definitely offer personalized maintenance advice and guidance on how to best care for your extensions.
Things DON’T do with your hair extensions
DON’T wash your hair too often
Because shampoos include abrasive elements that might break the links in your hair, you should avoid washing your hair as much as you can instead use a dry shampoo to refresh your hair. Hair washing 2-3 times a week is more than enough. Try not to rub, scrub, or bunch your hair when you wash it. Never overstress your bond, whether it is tape-in or keratin, since this will shorten your extensions’ lifespan. Besides, only use regular daily conditioner on your hair from the midshaft to the ends. It’s also crucial to use a shampoo that matches your hair type
Don’t use products that contain parabens, or sulfates.
Your natural hair’s oil is dried out, which worsens the effect of extensions. Moreover, you’ll be more prone to hair loss, color fading, and scalp discomfort. The problem with parabens, sulfates and overused silicone-based products is that they are extremely drying to hair, which can result in dullness, split ends, or even worse a compromised bond. Moreover, you should avoid using heavy conditioners and oils as well.
DON’T sleep with wet hair
You’ll tangle your hair if you do this, so try to avoid it as much as you can. Instead, you can wait until your hair is completely dry and then braid it or pull it back into a loose ponytail before going to bed. Ever try to quickly dry your hair with a blow dryer on high heat or go to bed with wet hair. Even worse than using too much heat on your natural hair, using too much heat on extensions may cause them to dry out and become frizzy since they won’t receive the oils from your scalp. Never wear a ponytail at night. Ponytails can put additional strain on your connections, weakening them.
DON’T use too much heat
When you want to make your hair a specific style, heated styling products are essentially a necessity, but high heat can harm your hair over time. Use a heat shield to your hair beforehand if you must use heat, and use the lowest heat setting feasible.
In conclusion
In the end, with a little care, your hair will stay fabulous and so do you. SLAY
