Are Hair Extensions Too Dry By Jaclynn Kate
Upon consultation with your hair stylist in the salon, how to properly care for hair extensions should be part of the initial experience of having hair extensions installed and discussed in depth with your stylist. Everyone that habitually wears hair extensions knows that the key to keeping them looking natural and feeling silky soft is minimizing heat and mechanical stress in addition to increasing moisture content using hair treatment products. Knowing how to care for hair extensions does require as much attention as selecting and installing the right kind of human hair and hair extension attachment method. To get the best value out of the initial investment the clients must take care of their scalp, their own hair and the hair extensions and not with substandard products. Often people select their hair treatment products based on scent, cost and brand name leaving it a guessing game if the products actually do any good.
Moisture is the most important element when understanding how to care for hair extensions!
Upon installing hair extensions on my clients I go over the aftercare with them thoroughly. They are high maintenance, they need A LOT of moisture and Hair Treats recommends you use their brand of shampoo & conditioner to replenish the hair. Wondering, how do I take care of my hair extensions , is never a fun thought, cause you can ruin your investment in just a few hair washes! When selecting a shampoo, most products that are formulated for dry hair are great products don't get me wrong. However, they have not taken into consideration that your hair extensions have come into this equation and need EXTRA moisture.
Unlike many conditioning treatments, Hair Treats Moist Maintain is water-based and will not adversely affect or alter any chemical treatments. Its unique formulation gives it an initially alkaline pH, thus allowing opening of the cuticles and penetrating deep into the cortex. While the hair is drying, the formula neutralizes itself back to its natural pH level. The now more acidic composition closes the cuticle, locking-in emollients. This ultimately tackles the biggest concerns with hair extension such as; tangles, dryness and lack of shine. The added benefits of humectants and lubricants help hair extensions retain their moisture, resulting in soft healthy hair to the touch, and incredible shine to the eye.
• Moisturizing shampoo cleanses the hair without harsh detergents.
• Exclusive blend of conditioners (Aloe Vera Gel and Royal Jelly) for strength, elasticity and color retention
• Helps to restore the natural pH of hair
• Perfect for maintaining hair extensions.
THIS IS IMPORTANT FOR THE HEALTH OF YOUR EXTENSIONS & PROLONGING THE LIFELINE!!
Meet my client Alicia. These extensions in this picture are 10 months old!
(I did NOT do her color)
While Ideally these extensions last 6-8 months regularly, Alicia has manage to follow every instruction I have given her & made her investment last ten full months!!
What they looked like when I took them out.
This is Alicia's hair after taking them out. No damage done & she was very surprised at how much her hair had grown over the coarse of ten months. Now for me to fix that color!!
She wanted to get ride of the black she had on top & make her hair a nice brown before adding the extensions. In addition to the brown extensions, she wanted to add some highlights underneath just to break up the color. She is not a fan of light colors on the top of her head.
Her ending result was nothing but beautiful! And she let me keep them longer this time!!!
She is a great client who can follow the directions given to ensure her extensions are always being moisturized! She will even sleep with leave-in conditioner in over night!! Prop's to you girl you know how to stretch that buck!!
Hair extensions is best one to get beautiful hair..It is very useful...
