Top Tips To Care For Your Hair Extensions

If there was ever a time to experiment with your hairstyle and hair length, right now is the time.

With many of us spending more time at home and seeing ourselves more during videoconferencing calls, a great way to totally transform your look is growing your hair out using our beautiful Russian Elegance hair extensions.

However, much like your natural hair, your extensions also need some care to avoid tangles and stay beautiful. Here are some easy tips to take care of your extensions.

For a full list of our beauty tips, take a look at our aftercare bible.

Tie Into A Ponytail
There are two activities that we do every day that can have a surprising effect on our hair: sleeping and exercising. As many of us with long hair can relate, sleeping on your hair will cause tangles and oddly uncomfortable sleep.

With clip-in extensions, the best advice is simply not to wear them at night, but with sewn-in and bonded extensions, simply tie your hair loosely in a ponytail before going to bed.

Keep Away From Heat Stylers
Hairdryers, straighteners and curlers are typically not good news for your hair extensions. Unlike natural hair, hair extensions cannot produce natural protectants which can stop hair burning under intense heat.

Lower the heat setting on your devices and be sure to use heat oils and other protectants if you must style them that way. Otherwise, use a texture spray as an alternative.

Avoid Swimming
Hair extensions are affected by several chemicals natural hair would not be, especially chlorine and hard water. If you want to swim, coat your hair with a mix of water and conditioner and tie them back to avoid the water affecting your hair.

As well as this, try not to wash your hair more than three times awake, and keep products away from the bonding areas as much as possible.
