KEEP AWESOME HAIR EXTENSIONS IN THE SUMMER

Protecting your hair extensions during the summer is essential to keep them looking their best and prolong their lifespan.

Here are some tips to help you protect your hair extensions in the summer:

1. Minimize sun exposure:

Just like natural hair, hair extensions can be affected by UV rays. Limit the exposure of your hair extensions to direct sunlight, especially during peak sun hours. Wear a hat or use a scarf to provide physical protection from the sun.

2. Use UV protection products:

Look for hair products specifically designed to protect against UV rays. Use a leave-in conditioner or a UV protection spray on your hair extensions before heading out in the sun. These products create a barrier and shield the extensions from the damaging effects of UV rays.

3. Avoid chlorine and saltwater:

Chlorine and saltwater can cause dryness and damage to both natural hair and hair extensions. Before swimming, apply a leave-in conditioner or a protective oil to your extensions. This acts as a barrier and helps minimize the absorption of chlorine or saltwater. Rinse your hair immediately after swimming to remove any residue.

4. Wash and condition carefully:

When washing your hair extensions, use a gentle, sulfate-free shampoo and a moisturizing conditioner. Avoid applying conditioner directly to the bonds or tape areas if you have fusion or tape-in extensions. Rinse thoroughly to remove all product residue.

5. Brush gently:

Use a wide-toothed comb or a special extension-friendly brush to detangle your hair extensions. Start from the ends and work your way up to avoid pulling or tugging on the bonds or tapes. Be gentle and avoid excessive force to prevent damage or loosening of the extensions.

6. Protect from sweat and oil:

During hot and humid summer days, sweat and excess oil can accumulate on your scalp and extensions. Consider wearing your hair extensions in protective styles such as braids, buns or ponytails.

7. Schedule regular maintenance:

Regularly visit your stylist for maintenance appointments. They can check the condition of your extensions, reposition any loose bonds or tapes, and make necessary adjustments to ensure your extensions remain secure and healthy.

By following these tips, you can keep your hair extensions protected and maintain their quality throughout the summer season.
