Protect Your Own Hair While Wearing Hair Extensions
Hair extensions can do a lot of things. They can glam up your look for one night. They can keep your satisfied while your last hair cut grows out. And they can help protect your hair, if you use them the right way. Don’t let the beautiful premium human hair extensions you’ve installed let you forget to take care of your own hair.
Sew-ins are great for letting your own hair rest in braids beneath your hair extensions. However, if your braids are too tight, it can cause breakage. Make sure that your stylist doesn’t braid your natural hair too tight. Here’s a hint: if it hurts, it’s too tight!
Your natural hair still needs a weekly wash while you’re wearing hair extensions. For the best care, have a professional stylist do it. The reason is that you are trying to clean both your hair extensions and your own hair. Each needs its own approach. If you must wash it yourself, be sure to pat the entire head dry. If you let your own hair stay wet underneath the hair extensions, it can lead to problems.
Buildup on the scalp while you have hair extensions can be a problem, too. When your hair is completely out, your scalp doesn’t get the airing that it normally does. Use an astringent like witch hazel on your scalp between washings to keep it to avoid buildup.
