Tips To Revive Damaged Hair Extensions

Having a set of good hair extensions is no less than an investment! That is why you do not want your hair extensions to dry out, become frizzy, matted, or damaged in any other way. If your high-end hair extensions start showing wear and tear, there is no need to be alarmed! And definitely do not throw them out. You can turn your hair extensions from dry and damaged to smooth and silky with a few simple techniques without spending a fortune.

Tips To Revive Natural Hair Extensions

Deep Condition

Apply a deep conditioner to your natural hair extensions in the same way you would to your own hair. This will help them retain their suppleness and they will look attractive for longer. However, avoid applying the deep conditioner to the area where the extension connects to your hair.

Warm Oil Treatment

Warm some oil in a double boiler. You can put your bowl of oil inside a bigger bowl of warm water, then either heat it on the gas stove or in your microwave oven. Once the oil becomes lukewarm, rub the oil into the extensions and distribute it with a wide-toothed comb. Wait 5 to 15 minutes while wearing a plastic shower cap. Rinse your hair with warm water, wipe it lightly with a towel, then air-dry it.

Tips To Repair Synthetic Hair Extensions

Use A Detangling Product

Tangling is a frequent problem while using hair extensions. Once every day, before styling your hair with the extensions, spray it with a quality detangling product. Then you can use a wide-toothed comb or a boar-bristle brush to maintain the hair and keep it tangle-free throughout the day.

Carry the comb or brush in your bag so you can remove tangles or knots on the go. Take your time brushing through your extensions because the hair can quickly become knotted! Avoid rough brushing as that can lead to further knots and tangles.

Hair Mask

Pick up each weft and apply a nourishing hair mask to the lengths of your synthetic extensions. Lay the wefts flat on the towel next to one another. Set a timer for 30 minutes after you have soaked each extension.

Hair masks are deep conditioning treatments for your hair that hydrate and restore the strands. They are easily available at most pharmacy shops and beauty supply stores. Look for masks that have nourishing components like vitamin E, argan oil, keratin protein, B vitamins, coconut oil, and lipids.

What to do with oily hair extensions?

You've cleaned your hair extensions, but they're now excessively greasy! But there is a way to fix this even if you've over moisturised your hair extensions. To remove some of the excess oil, first try using a dry shampoo. If possible, avoid further washing. If this fails to work, use a clarifying shampoo to gently wash the hair again. And avoid shampoos with sulphates!
