What products should I use with my new hair extensions?
Caring for hair extensions properly is crucial to maintaining their appearance and longevity. Here are some essential products and tips to keep your extensions looking fabulous:
1. Sulfate-free shampoo and Conditioner
Why: Sulfates can strip natural oils and moisture, making extensions dry and prone to tangling.
2. Leave-In Conditioner
Why: Helps to detangle, protect, and keep extensions hydrated.
3. Heat Protectant Spray
Why: Protects extensions from heat damage caused by styling tools.
4. Extension Brush
Why: Minimizes pulling and breakage when detangling extensions.
5. Moisturizing Hair Oil or Serum
Why: It adds shine and reduces frizz without weighing down the extensions.
6. Dry Shampoo
Why: Keeps roots fresh without over-washing extensions.
7. Silk or Satin Pillowcase
Why: Reduces friction that can cause tangling and frizz while you sleep.
Additional Tips:
Avoid overwashing: To prevent your extensions from drying out, aim to wash them 2-3 times a week.
Be gentle: When washing and styling, handle your extensions with care to avoid unnecessary stress and breakage.
Avoid alcohol-based products: These can dry out your extensions, making them more prone to damage.
