To Maintain the Hair Extensions, here are the 5 Tips

Do you have or want to succumb to the trend of hair extensions? Find the list of the main five tips for maintaining your extensions on a daily basis!

Hair extensions in Bangalore can be an ideal solution for women looking for length or thickness, but they can quickly turn out to be catastrophic if they are not pampered. Find the top 5 tips for taking care of your hair extensions!

1. Use extension care

Shampoos, conditioners, masks… Check that they are well-suited to your extensions! In any case, be aware that there are multiple specific products.

These products, being richer, will nourish your extensions in an optimal way because, on the one hand, making extensions can weaken the hair (especially fine hair), and on the other hand, the extensions themselves can become dry.

This is a sign that the "extenders" are not hydrated enough.

Of course, you can continue to use your usual home care products as long as they are gentle on your hair. But beware, still no silicone!

2. Shampoo gently and silicone-free.

As for your natural hair, shampoo 1 to 2 times a week. However, when shampooing, be more delicate by gently massaging your scalp to avoid making knots at the root of your hair.

It is also important that you wash your hair with your head straight and not upside down to wash it well without tangling it.

At the level of the product itself, shampoos containing silicone are to be banned even more than usual because the silicone would cause the attachment points of your extensions to slip and precipitate their fall.

Their lifespan would be shortened. But that's not what you want. Many shampoos today are labeled "silicone free" that you can trust.

And if not, look at the list of ingredients; all the compounds of the silicone family end precisely with “cone”.

Go directly to a shampoo specially designed for extensions, naturally without silicone. At least, no risks at this level!

3. Prefer natural drying

Heat is the number one factor in dry, damaged hair. To properly maintain your extensions, especially if they are dry, favor drying in the open air. Otherwise, you risk burning your hair and stripping your extensions.

You must reduce at all costs the use of heating tools such as hair dryers, straighteners, or curling irons. If you really want a little brushing from time to time, do one with lukewarm air using a round brush so as to attack your extensions as little as possible.

When drying, you can pre-dry your hair and extensions gently with a towel. Drying in the open air will therefore take less time.

4. Detangle your extensions morning and evening

It is essential to untangle your extensions morning and evening with an ultra-soft brush to prevent knots from accumulating. It is better to avoid pulling on your extensions.

Adopting a boar bristle brush is a good start: this brush is indeed very soft and renowned for not "breaking" the hair.

The process is then as follows: start by untangling the ends of your extensions and go up, step by step, on the top of the hair. Also, be careful that each of your extensions remains distinct so as not to tangle them together.

5. Sleep with your hair tied up

Finally, it is advised you sleep with your hair tied back. Again, this is to keep your hair extensions from getting tangled as much as possible. Tie your hair in a bun or a braid if you want to have nice waves when you wake up.

Also, never go to bed with wet hair. This is why we do not recommend washing your hair just before going to sleep. Allow a little drying time or postpone washing until the next morning.
