Don’t stress about caring for hair extensions — there are a few simple steps you can take to maintain your look. Our first recommendation is a boar bristle brush. These are extra gentle on vulnerable hair types due to the soft and flexible bristles. You can also reduce your wash days to avoid damaging the bonds or tape adhesive in warm water. Finally, try to avoid major stressors like the sun, chlorine, salt water or heated styling tools.
Remy hair is when the cuticle is kept intact and isn't stripped during collection and is aligned in one direction to mimic that of natural hair. This process will ensure that the hair in the hair extensions remains smooth, shiny and tangle-free throughout its lifespan. During the manufacturing process, the hair is then treated to achieve a certain colour and for the most part, the integrity and strength of the hair will remain. Remy hair is the most desirable type of hair for hair extensions as it is made of the same material as natural hair - keratin, which makes it the most natural blend.
The thought of maintaining natural hair with extensions is intimidating. However, there are tried-and-tested methods to support a healthier look. Get started by rejuvenating your natural hair before getting extensions. Masks and treatments are the fastest methods, especially 18 In 1 Nourishing Intense Masque or K18 Leave-In Molecular Repair Mask. Once your natural hair is ready, the next step is visiting a professional stylist. Just make sure you monitor for pain or headaches during the appointment. This means the hairstyle is too tight, which can cause hair loss called traction alopecia. Lastly, give hair a break every few months to prevent cumulative damage and breakage.
Once extensions are applied, you will need products specifically designed to care for extensions. Our top recommendations are Natural Look X Ten Hair Extension Care Silky Lite Shampoo, Natural Look X Ten Hair Extensions Care Silky Lite Conditioner and Natural Look X Ten Reconstructor to rejuvenate natural and synthetic hair. You can even use Natural Look X Ten Dissolve to dissolve keratin bonds and tape joins.
