How to Keep Hair Extensions Looking Their Best

It takes more than a chic outfit to make you stand out as you walk down the street. Gorgeous long hair can go a long way in completing your ensemble. Fortunately, you can easily achieve flowing locks by purchasing hair extensions.

Hair extensions are an investment, and just like any investment, you will want to find ways to protect it. This is especially true for human hair extensions, which usually require more maintenance than your regular hair. To keep your extensions looking great, follow these tips:

Dry Your Hair...

Wet hair can cause the sections where the extensions are bonded to come loose, resulting in the extensions falling off. You should also avoid keeping your hair wrapped in a wet towel as it can also cause the bonds to soften. After showering, you should dry your hair as soon as possible.

But No Blow Dryers

Although you should dry your hair ASAP, try to avoid using your blow dryer. The heat it generates causes hair to become brittle, which can lead to frayed hair. This holds true for other styling tools that use heat, like curling irons.

Wear a Ponytail to Bed

Hair tangles if you go to sleep with your hair down. These tangles can get caught in your brush—especially if you do not use a looper brush—and rip the extensions right off. Save yourself the trouble of detangling your hair by keeping it in a ponytail before you go to sleep.
