Minerva Hair teaches on how to care for your hair extensions

by Chinwe Okafor

Although a lot of women are going in for a shorter crop these days and styles like the pixie are gaining popularity, long hair still remains the favoured style by many.

But everyone is not gifted with a good hairline and here’s where extensions come in.

Whether you quickly want to add length to your hair, or maybe wish for a little volume, or simply need a break from your smart bob, hair extensions are your best bet. You can also hide a bad hair cut just by fixing some hair extensions.

Extensions can either be made from synthetic fibres or natural human hair and need to be taken care of (in this case we recommend human hair) which are in no way a low-maintainance style.

You need to really care for them well. But you can get our desired hair length in a few minutes instead of waiting ages for your natural hair to grow.

Hence hair extensions are totally worth the effort! Since they cost a bomb, you need to care for them properly in order to ensure their longevity. Treat them gently, with love and care.

CARE TIPS

– If your extensions are made of human hair, it is necessary to wash them at least twice a week as they tend to become greasy.

– Remove all the tangles and knots from hair with a wide-toothed comb before shampooing. When you pour water directly on your head, the direct pressure of water leads to tangling. Hence wet your hair little by little to prevent dry hair from swelling and getting entangled.

– Wash hair with a gentle cleansing shampoo. Do not pile up all the hair on top of the head and scrub. Wash hair in a downward motion starting from the roots and moving towards the end. Gently massage the shampoo into the extensions and rinse completely to avoid any product build-up. Use a good, moisturising conditioner to keep tresses soft and shiny. Use alcohol-free conditioners as alcohol tends to dry hair. Go easy with the conditioner though. You don’t want to weigh down your extensions.

– Lay out your wet hair on a dry towel and squeeze out the excessive water. It is a terrible habit to rub hair vigorously to dry it. But on wet extensions, it is a cardinal sin. Let your extensions air dry. Do not comb them when they are wet as it may lead to breakage. Besides ripping them, you will damage them and end up with straggly-looking extensions.

– Never go to bed with wet hair extensions. Ensure that they are completely dry and tie them up in a loose ponytail to avoid waking up with a tangled mess.

– Always remove tangles and knots from hair first with fingers and then with a wide-toothed comb. It is best to use a paddle brush for straight weaves and a wide toothed comb for waves. Comb hair at least twice or thrice a day. Be gentle and do not pull and tug at hair while combing in a downward direction as extensions are more brittle and fragile than your natural hair.
– If you are a swimming then wear a cap to cover your mane instead of exposing your extensions to chlorine and other chemicals which can damage them severely.

– The essential oils that are produced in your scalp and passed into your hair, do not reach your extensions. Hence you need to hydrate your extensions by regularly applying moisturiser to make them look natural.
