Written by James Occonar
If you are fond of using hair extensions, wigs and other hair products, it will be best for you to know that there are proper ways of taking care of them so it will not wear off right away. You should know that hair extensions were made available to the public using synthetic hair in the absence of human hair. A lot of women use hair extensions and wigs to beautify their hair and to add drama to their look during an event or when they are tired and sick of their old short hair. Hair extensions will help you add new look and personality you would like to achieve. These are some hair car tips you can use for clip in human hair extensions:
- If your hair extensions are on, you should brush your hair before washing it and remove all the knots and tangles first because it is not required to brush it after washing the hair as it will be ripped out.
- Do not use hard type of bristles on your hair with extensions. Also start brushing at the ends and slowly work way up. Always remember to brush downwards and never brush harshly. Brushing intensity should be at least 2 to 3 times a day.
- Also remember that heat is hair's enemy, the more you use blow dryers and curling irons, the shorter the hair extensions will last. It is best to let your hair dry naturally. You should also lessen the use of blow dryers and other hair products that contain harsh chemicals because it will drastically damage your hair and lessen its lifespan too.
- Taking care of your hair is vital; you need to use conditioners to make it look natural all the time. There are suggested hair care products that can only be used for wigs and hair extensions.
- Cover your hair with a hair cap if you are planning to go swimming. You need to always keep in mind that chlorine-treated water or salty water on beaches can tangle and mess up your hair.
- Do not sleep when the hair is wet, yet do not artificially dry it with a blower or dryer, allow it to completely dry naturally before you kick bed. It is also recommended to wrap your hair together or gently tie it up to prevent tangling.
- When you tie up your hair you need to know first if the type of extensions you are using can be tied up or not because there are types of wigs that cannot be tied up because they can easily fall.
You don’t want to invest on the hair extensions and wigs every now and then. Do you? But taking good care of the hair extensions increase the longevity of your extensions, which means peace of mind/hair to you.
