5 tips for proper hair extensions care routine

How to make your hair extensions last longer and save money!

Taking good care of your hair extensions is super important. Unlike your natural hair, hair extensions do not grow, hence any kind of damage affects them permanently. Following the right hair extensions care routine will keep your locks nice and shiny for longer and help you make the most out of the money you invested.

Wanna know how?

1. Wash your hair the right way

IDOLE tip: Comb your hair before the shower. Make sure you start from the ends and move up to your scalp to avoid further tangling and breakage. Wash your hair using products with the right ingredients to maintain your extensions in good condition. If possible use hair products that are specifically designed for hair extensions. Rinse your extensions under a cold running water

2. Don’t sleep with wet hair extensions

IDOLE tip: Don’t let your extensions wet for too long. Take some time to dry them after the shower, even if it is only the roots. Wet hair is more prone to breakage.

3. Brush your hair correctly

IDOLE tip: Work your way up, brushing from the ends up to the roots. Don’t apply force on the knots. Regular hair brushes can cause breakage. Use soft bristle brushes to avoid breakage.

4. Hydrate and deep condition your hair

IDOLE tip: Leaving some amount of deep hair mask on your hair extensions, especially if the mask has keratin in it, can keep your hair soft and hydrated for longer. Keratin works great with heat, so make sure you apply some heat after the shower for optimal results. Of course, a good leave-in hair conditioner can provide the same results.

5. Avoid heat damage

IDOLE tip: Use a heat protector before styling your hair with hot tools. It will protect them from heat damage so that they stay silky and soft for longer.
