Hair Care for Extensions
Here are some tips to keep your hair extensions healthy and shiny:
-
Washing: Wash your hair extensions regularly prevent them from getting dried out. Wet your hair with warm water, pour a dime-sized amount of shampoo into your palm, then massage it into your scalp and through your extension. Rinse out the shampoo, then repeat this two more times. Do not hold your head upside down to rinse, as this can cause tangles.
-
Conditioning: Pour a dime-sized amount of conditioner into your palms and smooth it over your hair. Rub gently with your fingertips, then cover with a shower cap and wait about 20 minutes.
-
Brushing: The hair is easily damaged while it is wet. Hold your hair tight near the roots when brushing, or press your hand flat against the ‘glued seam’ on your head to avoid pulling or tugging at the bond.
-
Drying: Dry your hair thoroughly. Weaves can get moldy and smell like mildew if left damp. To avoid this, be sure to dry your completely any time you get it wet. If possible, let it air dry.
