Wash my hair right

You can wash your hair immediately after the procedure. The amount of washing will not affect them in any way, but the location of the hair must be certain. Do not lower your head, but wash your hair in an upright position.

Use special shampoos to gently wash your hair. These can be sulfate-free and alcohol-free shampoos that are pH neutral. Many hairdressers recommend choosing brands specifically for oily hair. Such options will have a beneficial effect on the hair itself and will not make it slippery.

How to dry hair extensions?

It is forbidden to use the hot air of a hair dryer on hair extensions, because this will have a detrimental effect on the hair itself.

Comb your hair extensions correctly

Never brush your hair when wet. This way you can confuse them even more. When your hair is dry, start brushing it from the ends to the roots. Be sure to hold your hair at the roots with one hand and gently comb through the strands with the other.

It is worth remembering that the hair does not get tangled during the day, you need to comb it 3-4 times a day. Your comb must also be the right one. Now you need a comb with natural bristles, which will go in the form of a massage.

Remember that you should not do too tight hair styling, as this can adversely affect the attachment points. Always use thermal hair protection with your iron. These sprays will help you not burn your hair, which will keep it from drying out.
