Extension Care: How to Keep Your Hair Looking Flawless
Your extensions are a long-term investment, making proper care essential for maintaining their beauty and longevity. They can truly be your best friend, but just like any friendship, they require care and attention to flourish! Now that you have your dream hair, let’s dive into the essential do’s and don’ts of extension maintenance.
The Do’s of Extension Care
Brush Your Hair Regularly
Just like natural hair, extensions can tangle! To keep them smooth and manageable, brush your extensions at least twice a day, or whenever you notice knots forming. Regular brushing helps prevent tangling, distributes natural oils, and removes loose hairs that may shed over time.
For best results:
Use a brush specifically designed for extensions, such as a loop brush or a wide-tooth comb.
Always brush wefts individually, starting from the tips and working your way up to the roots to minimize damage.
Use Extension-Friendly Products
Using the right hair care products is crucial to keeping your extensions looking their best for as long as possible. Opt for professional products made specifically for extensions, such as Goldie Locks, or choose sulfate-free and paraben-free shampoos and conditioners, as well as brushes that are made for extensions like the Bellami Boar Brush or Invisible Bead Metal Bristle Brush. We do carry these items in the salon, but you can also find the Goldie Locks Collection and similar brushes on amazon.
Why avoid sulfates and parabens?
Sulfates strip natural oils, cause dryness, and can lead to color fading. Parabens are preservatives that may contribute to product buildup, leading to dull, lifeless extensions.
