Dyes, can I dye my natural hair extensions?
The answer is yes, the natural hair extensions Just like standard human hair. You can color hair extensions the shade of your choice. If you’re making extensions darker or changing the tone. If you are looking to go lighter that is not something we recommend doing with hair extensions. We suggest avoiding any kind of bleaching, lightening or highlighting when it comes to your hair extensions as it is quite a complicated process that can potentially damage your extensions. If you are looking to go lighter we recommend bleaching virgin hair (hair that hasn’t been dyed before).
Washing your hair extensions
Washing your hair extensions daily can dry them out. To keep your hair extensions hydrated, wash them no more than three times a week however this will depend on the thickness and how much products you apply to your hair extensions.
I leave you some tips for washing natural hair extensions.
- Soft bristle brushes remove tangles while preventing damage to the tape adhesive. Start at the ends and work your way up. All blow-drying should be done in a gentle downward motion to prevent putting too much tension on your hair extensions.
- The easiest way to clean your hair extensions between applications and when they aren’t in your hair is to submerge them in a water with diluted shampoo. Submerge your extensions in the water for 10 minutes and move them from side to side to clean them properly.
- Once the extensions are completely wet, normal hair shampoo should be applied. Massage the extensions gently, you can repeat this process twice.
- Using a conditioner does not only make your hair extensions shine but it also repairs your hair's protective layer – the cuticle layer. When applying conditioner, make sure to focus on your mid-lengths to ends to avoid your roots becoming too greasy.
- It is important that you remove the cleaning products very well, for this it is best to rinse the natural hair extensions repeatedly.
- If you have natural hair extensions in, you must make sure to dry the joint between the natural hair and the extensions very well.
- If you don't have them on, it is best to clean them properly, you will let them dry without a hairdryer.
The recommendation is to wash the extensions once a week, especially if they are sewn-in or ring extensions. If these are extensions that you remove and put in at home, wash them only if necessary. When you want to change the color of your natural hair extensions, you have two options: purchase professional products or go to a stylist.
You must hydrate your extensions
Hydration is something basic and essential for your hair to always be perfect and you must be very careful in this step. In the case of natural extensions, always hydrate them very carefully, always from the middle to the ends, with conditioners and masks specially designed for extensions. Avoid the root of the extension if you want to extend their life.
Once you have washed your hair, when it is dry, you can opt for a hair serum that will help you keep the ends intact. Your hair will feel like silk!
How do you dry your hair extensions?
Believe it or not, the way you dry your extensions also has a lot to do with it and will be a great ally when it comes to keeping them perfect and for much longer. When you finish washing your hair, place the hair in a towel, without wringing it, we just want to remove excess water!
After a few minutes, when you notice that the excess has disappeared, you can use the dryer and start drying your hair. Remember to leave some distance between your hair and the device. I recommend that you do it with the least hot air possible.
