Care for your Hair

Whether your hair extensions are for those special occasions or just for everyday wear, it’s always important that they look the part. Ensure your hair is looking picture perfect 24/7 is not always easy and I’m sure there’s plenty of us that’s had to suffer one of those dreaded bad hair days. But don’t worry, don’t stress! Take a moment to have a read thorough a few of these helpful tips that will keep your hair at its best.


Maintenance & Control
Just like your normal hair, your extensions WILL need regular care and treatment. It’s important to make sure you attend to them on regular occasions. Maintaining them shouldn’t be a chore, but just like any luxury, you do need to put in that little bit of time and effort. To keep the hair healthy, there a number of products available that you can choose from which will make sure that the quality remains consistent. For example, Real Hair by Clara Leave in Protein Spray allows you to easily feed your hair with all the nutrients it needs just by gently spraying the hair on a regular basis. As well as keeping the hair healthy, try to use a professional hair extension brush with Nylon bristles so that it brushes the hair gently rather than aggressively like a normal brush. Also, with weaves and lace wigs, it’s recommended that you visit your hair stylist at least once a month to keep your hair looking
perfect.


Washing your Hair
it’s important to keep your hair clean and fresh. Dirt and sweat built up will cause dryness. Before, washing, brush your hair first to detangle. If the hair is matted, start brushing from bottom and then work your way up. Aim to wash in a downwards motion and gradually wet the hair. When ready to begin the wash, apply Real Hair by Clara Extensions Revitalising Shampoo and massage gently throughout all of the hair. Rinse through thoroughly and then use Revitalising Conditioner to prevent dryness.




Sleeping in your Hair
It’s often best to tie your hair in a bun or pony with a soft scrunchie that won’t pull too tight on the hair. Always brush and detangle your hair before setting under the duvets and on the pillow, it will be easier to manage in the morning. And of course, if you are washing your hair late at night, ensure that your hair is 100% dry. Never sleep with damp hair.



Styling & Applying Heat
the fact that you have chosen to wear hair extensions suggests that you have selected the hair based on the style or look that you want to achieve, so re-styling the hair may not always be a regular task. However, for those of you that do enjoy the frequent change, there are a few things you must always remember. Always apply a heat protection spray (Real Hair by Clara Blow dry Spray) before applying any straightening or curling tongs. This protects from the scorching temperatures that your hair doesn’t always enjoy meeting with. Too much heat can do a lot of damage and causes breakage and dryness just like your own hair has to fight with.


It’s not that hard and it’s not that tiring. Just a few extra steps here and there that you need to take to make sure your hair is kept fresh and flawless. Invest in good quality products and take those extra 5 minutes and you’ll be walking with a smile on your face and head held high, whatever the weather!
