Long Hair Extensions – Do More Than Keep Them Clean
Long Hair Extensions – Do More Than Keep Them Clean
Keeping your hair clean is very important in increasing the lifespan of your lovely locks, but it is not enough on its own. Proper moisturizing, brushing, and care while you are sleeping can make all the difference in the world between a look that lasts a little over a month or two and one that can approach a lifespan of up to a year in length. Clearly, taking a bit of time in making a slightly greater investment in your long hair extensions will make them last for an elongated period of time and look more natural and beautiful while you have them.
Every other day, you should moisturise your hair with moisturiser designed specifically for long hair extensions. If you fail to take this simple step in caring for your hair, the extensions could be become brittle and be prone to breakage. Split ends that look dry and ratty is not what you desire in your long hair extensions, and this trouble can be avoided with a simple application of moisturisers. Understand that a large amount of saturation is not needed to provide your hair with the dampness it needs to thrive and last for a very long time.
Brushing is important for proper long hair extensions because knots will decrease the lifespan of your locks. Make sure to brush the tangles out of your hair before you wash it, go swimming or sleep. Start at the tips and slowly work your way around and up, never pulling excessively or being too rough on your scalp. If you perform your hair brushing with a hair extension brush, you know you are avoiding damage to your look. Coarse wire brushes without loops on the end of the bristles will have a tendency to pull at your extensions and you risk loosening and even pulling them completely out.
When night approaches and you prepare to go to sleep, make sure your hair is completely dry before you climb into bed. This is important information for those who shower at night. If this is your regular routine, you may want to change it or make sure you get out of the shower a few hours before bed. Braid your hair loosely and use a soft scrunchie to keep all your hair pulled gently back together in a soft ponytail so it will not tangle as you sleep. These tips for caring for your long hair extensions will help them last longer.
