Hair Extensions After Care

Hair extensions look absolutely fabulous and offer a variety of styling options. They are all over these days with many celebrities sporting different lengths of hair frequently. They look natural and are a solution to all hair woes, extensions add length, volume and texture to your original hair and make styling a cake walk. All these years you would have experimented with your tresses, you chop them, colour them, perm them and put them through hot irons but hair extension is your solution. But all this comes with a heavy price, synthetic hair extensions are a little cheaper as compared to real hair extensions. Though hair extensions are safe to use and come in two variants, natural/ real hair and synthetic/fibre hair they can pose a problem if not cared for.

Real hair behave like your original hair and can be treated chemically also whereas synthetic hair extensions cannot be exposed to chemical treatments like perming, highlighting etc. Hair extensions are attached to your original hair with different methods like, clamping with metal, using glue and weaving. Whatever type and method of extension you use, it is important to take care of your hair.

The most important thing about extensions is that you need to be very careful with combing. Be very patient and do it as gently as possible. Comb your hair slowly so as to not yank off the extension. Avoid brushing your hair. Be careful while shampooing, you can shampoo and condition your hair and even blow dry it normally.

However, do not oil your hair, if you must then keep the oiling minimal or the extensions might slip off. Hair extensions are safe and chemical free and would last upto 3 to 4 months depending on your hair growth. So now, beautiful long hair is within your reach, go ahead and indulge.
