Maintaining the health of your hair and scalp is crucial, especially when you have hair extensions. Here are some detailed tips to keep your hair healthy with extensions:
Brush your hair regularly:
Use a soft-bristled brush to brush your hair and scalp at least 2-3 times a day. Start at the scalp and work your way down to the ends to help distribute natural oils throughout your hair, preventing tangles and keeping it looking shiny and healthy.
Exfoliate your scalp:
Use a scalp exfoliating brush or shampoo with gentle exfoliants to remove any dead skin cells, product buildup, and excess oil from your scalp. This promotes healthy hair growth, prevents itching and dandruff, and keeps your scalp healthy.
Use the right hair care products: Avoid using harsh shampoos or chemicals on your hair as they can damage the bonds and dry out your hair. Instead, opt for products specifically formulated for hair extensions, including sulfate-free and silicone-free shampoos and conditioners.
Consult a professional:
If you have any concerns about the health of your hair and scalp or are unsure about what products or treatments to use, consult a professional hairdresser or stylist. They can provide a complimentary consultation, assess the condition of your hair and scalp, and recommend the best course of action to keep your extensions looking beautiful.
Remember to follow these tips to maintain the health of your hair and scalp, but also consult a professional hairstylist or extensionist before attempting any hair extension or hair styling to avoid further damage.
