Caring for your hair extensions is a significant investment, both personally and financially. Proper maintenance ensures they last longer and maintain their quality. Here's a guide to help you care for your hair extensions, ensuring they remain in top condition, because when you show love to your hair extensions, they reciprocate.
Brushing is Key:
Regular and gentle brushing prevents tangling and helps spread the natural oils from your scalp throughout the extensions. Always brush your extensions before wetting them to avoid breakage and strain on the attachment points. Starting from the bottom and working your way up is the best technique to minimize damage. Opting for a boar brush is ideal as it's gentle on extensions and adds a glossy finish.
Washing Wisely:
Limit the frequency of washing to prevent drying out your scalp and hair. Overwashing can cause excess friction and weaken the bonds. When washing, use lukewarm water and opt for hydrating, sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner. Moisture Restore shampoo & conditioner is formulated with Vita-Seal™ Complex and ChromoHance™ polymer, providing nourishment, color enhancement, weightless hydration, and radiant shine. Clinical studies show that Moisture Restore leaves hair three times shinier and protects color for up to 10 washes.
Hydration is Key:
After washing, apply a leave-in conditioner on towel-dried hair to lock in moisture and control frizz, focusing on the mid-lengths to ends while avoiding the attachment points of the extensions.
Make up:
Weekly treatments replace regular conditioner to deeply condition and repair hair from daily stressors such as brushing and heat styling, leaving it soft, manageable, enhancing bounce and shine, and protecting color vibrancy.
Safe Styling Practices:
Enjoy the versatility of styling your 100% Remy hair extensions with hot tools like your natural hair. However, minimizing heat exposure and using it safely benefits both your natural hair and extensions. Towel-dry or air-dry your hair partially before using a blow dryer. Apply a thermal protectant before using heat tools and ensure your hair is tangle-free.
