HOW TO MAINTAIN YOUR EXTENSIONS BETWEEN SALON VISITS
“Brush, brush, brush!! Really, don’t be afraid to brush. That is the most common at home care mistake! Which then can cause the extensions to dread up. Another great tip is to braid your hair when working out and at night. Never, never, never use oily products on or around the bonding method because oil can cause the extensions to slide out. Also direct heat on the bonding method should be avoided since it can also reactivate the bond, which causes it to slide out. To ensure your hair remains healthy and luscious, treat your locks to a much-needed mask at least once a week. Extension hair can be costly and usually you’ll have it in for a few months. The more time you invest in taking care of the hair by following these steps, the better shape it will be in and the longer it will last.
