When swimming with your Hair Extensions, always ensure they are tied up! Try to avoid getting your Hair Extensions wet. Remember, swimming pool chemicals can alter the colour of your Hair Extensions especially blonde & light colours. The same also applies to sun cream and too much exposure to direct sunlight.

No matter whether you’re swimming in the ocean or in a chlorinated pool, both salt and chlorine will have a negative impact on your extensions causing them to become knotted and even worse matted.

The salt water and chlorine can not only affect the actual hair but also what is attaching the extensions to your natural hair, whether that be; micro rings, nano rings, tape, glue or weft.

In fact it is these that need to be kept try and out of the sea or pool water the most, as these are most fragile when wet.

The problem with chlorine and salt water is that it’s extremely harsh on natural hair, drying it out more than normal. So you can imagine the effect they have on hair extensions which naturally become drier just from day to day wear, because they don’t have access to sebum. 

Whatever you do, make sure your hair isn’t left down and able to float around in the pool/sea, as this will increase the likelihood of your hair extensions to mat. Something you don’t ever want to happen especially when abroad on holiday.

Once the hair is mat it will be incredibly hard for you to unmat it, if at all.

Once you’ve got out of the pool or sea, and your extensions are wet, it is so important that you gently brush any knots out and dry the extensions bonds and hair as soon as you can to prevent the water damaging them. This is especially so for glued in hair extensions, as the water can cause the glue to ‘unstick’ and move them, or even lose the hair extension.
