There’s no better way to spruce up long flowing tresses than with the help of Hair Extensions. However, while extensions guarantee a stunning look, maintaining flawless hair is all about how you care for them. It is important to get into a strict aftercare routine to ensure that your extensions last longer. So, We’re here to take you through a round of simple tips for keeping your extensions looking 100!
#1. Proper Hair Washing Routine
First off, let’s examine your hair-washing routine. While it is true that you can treat your extensions the same way you would your natural hair, there are a few things you should keep in mind on your next hair wash day. Avoid products containing sulfates and alcohol, which are known to strip your hair extensions of natural oils, making them vulnerable to break. Every 8-10 wears, wash your weave hair extensions with Indique Essential Shampoo.
#2. Never Sleep With Damp Hair
Now that you’ve mastered washing your extensions, it’s time for proper drying. Although you may be tempted to go to bed with your hair slightly damp, we cannot emphasize enough how important it is to dry your locks before bed thoroughly. When it comes to caring for hair extensions, a good rule of thumb is to never sleep with wet hair.
Since your hair is at its weakest when wet, tossing and turning while sleeping can harm both your natural locks and extensions. It also means you’ll have a serious bedhead when you wake up in the morning, forcing you to spend what feels like an eternity detangling.
#3. Treat Your Extensions Gently
It goes without saying that your hair extensions need as much tenderness, love, and care as your natural tresses. If you don’t treat your hair gently, your extensions may snap off, and you may notice hair falls clogging your brush. Brush the ends of your hair gently first, then work your way up. This will put as little hassle on your extensions.
It doesn’t matter how often you brush your hair as long as you’re gentle with it. However, we recommend brushing your hair gently with a Loop Hair Extension Brush.
#4. Deep-Conditioning Treatment
Deep-conditioning your natural hair and extensions are an integral part of your hair care routine because it keeps them moisturized and glossy. It is acceptable to skip shampooing your hair sometimes, but not the conditioner. The best way to put it into practice is to establish a weekly deep-conditioning routine for your hair.
You can deep condition your extensions whenever you like, as long as you don’t apply them near the root. Natural products are always the best bet because they are relatively affordable and help to keep your hair moisturized. To keep your hair extension smooth and shiny, we recommend using Indique Argan Oil.
#5. Take a Break from Your Heat Styling Tools
Hair extensions, like natural hair, can be affected if you apply too much heat to them. They can brittle and develop split ends. This means no matter how many conditioning treatments you use; you can never repair a damaged extension. If you must use tools to treat your hair, make sure you use them correctly.
Here are some tips for using heat tools with as little damage as possible:
- To protect your hair from overheating, use a heat protectant.
- Reduce the temperature as much as possible.
- Make your Simple Hairstyle without the use of heat, such as braiding your hair overnight to achieve gorgeous curls.
Conclusion
We love seeing new locks for the first time after having extensions fitted, but if you don’t take care of them, they won’t last as long as you’d hoped. By incorporating the steps outlined above into your routine, your hair will remain flawless for months to come. If you’re on the go, we recommend Clip-in Hair Extensions for the most convenience.
