If you are a beginner with extensions, you probably have many questions about how to take care of them. Don’t worry. We have all the answers for you!
This blog post will discuss the ultimate hair extension maintenance guide for beginners. We will cover everything from washing them to how to style them. Following these tips and tricks ensures that your hair extensions look great and last long!
1. Wash Your Hair Extensions Regularly
The best hair extensions are 100 percent Remy human hair, which can last up to a year with proper care. To keep your human hair extensions looking their best, it’s essential to wash them regularly using a sulfate-free shampoo and conditioner.
Sulfates are chemical detergents that can strip away your hair’s natural oils, causing them to become dry and brittle.
When shampooing your hair extensions, use a wide-toothed comb to avoid tangling. Start at the bottom of the hair extensions and work your way up, being extra gentle around the bonds.
After shampooing, condition your extensions using a moisturizing conditioner. Again, start at the bottom of your hair and work your way up. Finally, rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of shampoo and conditioner.
Gently squeeze excess water from your hair extensions, wrap them in a towel and let them air dry.
2. Avoid Using Heat on Your Hair Extensions
Heat styling tools can be incredibly damaging to your hair, especially for naturally curly hair with straight extensions. Using heat on your hair extensions can cause them to become dry and brittle, which will shorten their lifespan. If you must use artificial heat on your hair extensions, use a heat protectant spray beforehand, and use the lowest heat setting possible.
Another thing to remember is that you should avoid sleeping with your hair extensions in, as this can cause them to become tangled and matted. If you must sleep with your hair extensions, be sure to loosely braid your hair or put it in a loose bun before bed.
3. Be Gentle When Styling Them
You can style your hair extensions just like your own hair, but it’s essential to be gentle. Avoid using too much force when brushing or styling them, as this can cause them to become damaged or even break.
For example, if trying to curl your virgin Indian Remy hair extensions, use a lower heat setting on your curling iron and avoid holding them in place for too long. Also, be gentle when you brush them out after curling them.
4. Store The Extensions Properly When Not in Use
Lastly, when you’re not wearing your hair extensions, it’s essential to store them properly to ensure their longevity. We recommend using a soft-bristled brush to gently comb through the hair before storing it in a hanging position to prevent tangles and matting.
