Haircare is the best way to prolong the life of your extensions, but not everyone knows how to do it right, which makes your hair worse and worse. Following this article will be helpful for you.
Treat them like your natural hair.
If your extensions are sewn, microlinted, or glued on, you can wash them along with your natural hair in the shower. Be gentle, though, so you don't loosen your extensions. If you are too rough with them, they won't last long. Make sure to use a shampoo with a moisturizing formula. The more moisturizing the shampoo, the better for your hair. It's not a good idea to wash glued or glued extensions along with your natural hair.
Haircare by conditioner.
Each hair has a protective cuticle. The cuticle not only protects the hair shaft but also reflects sunlight to give shine to the hair. Throughout the day, the cuticle breaks down, leaving your hair looking frizzy and dull. Conditioner gives your hair back body and shine by releasing positively charged particles that attach to the negatively charged parts of the hair and repair the cuticles.- Make sure the conditioner reaches the roots of the hair.
- If you have weave or curly hair, you should use a hair conditioner to keep it in place during the day.
Wash your hair extensions three to five times a week.
Don't wash your extensions every day. Just like your normal hair, they will dry out if you wash them too much. On the days you don't wash your hair, gently rinse and use conditioner.How often you should wash your hair depends on the thickness, amount of oil, and the amount of product you use.
For example, people with thick, dry hair who don't use too many products won't have to wash them as often as people with thin, oily hair who style their hair daily.
Dry your hair.
Dry your hair completely before going to bed. You should never go to bed with your permanent hair wet. Wet hair will bunch up causing tangles. As you move in your sleep, tangled hairs in the extension can get caught and pull on your natural hair, damaging the hair.
If your natural hair is braided underneath the extensions, make sure the hair is completely dry as well. Otherwise, you may get mold and bad odors.
To make sure your hair is completely dry, you should sit under a hair dryer with a hood. The length of time you must stay in the dryer depends on the thickness and texture of your hair, as well as the density of the extensions.
