Hair extensions can add extra length and thickness to your own hair. Here are some tips to make them last for long.
Handle with care
Treat your hair extensions delicately, which means avoiding rough handling, tugging, or pulling, especially while brushing or styling.
Wash with caution
Use a mild and sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner that are specifically meant for hair extensions.
Detangle every day
Start detangling your hair from the ends of the hair and work your way up to the roots using a wide-tooth comb or a specialised hair extension brush.
Protect at bedtime
Consider wrapping your hair in a silk or satin scarf or using a silk or satin pillowcase to reduce friction and minimise damage.
Trim regularly
Schedule regular trims with your hair stylist to maintain the health and shape of your hair extensions.
Mind the overlap
Overlapping can create unnecessary tension in the natural hair, leading to breakage and discomfort. Proper placement and spacing are crucial for the long-term health of your hair and hair extensions.
Shield from the sun
Protect your hair extensions from prolonged exposure to the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays.
