When you take care of your hair extensions, they are going to last longer. Extensions really are an investment and by looking after them from the very beginning, you can make sure you enjoy them to their fullest. Our hair extension experts have provided some important aftercare tips so that you can keep your extensions in excellent condition. Read on to find out how you can look after your Remy hair extensions!

Just like your normal hair, your hair extensions can get tangled. This is especially true when they are 100 per cent top quality Remy human hair, as it can rub against and mix with your natural hair, causing knots and tangles. So, to prevent this from happening, our EH Hair Gold Coast hair professionals recommend using a natural bristle paddle brush. You can separate your extensions in two sections and use this tool to brush out any existing tangles, starting at the bottom and then up to the roots. This should be done every morning and at night. Don’t be alarmed if there is some shedding. Another way you can avoid tangling is to brush and plait your hair before you sleep.

It is important to keep your hair extensions hydrated and nourished. This is especially essential since they do not get the nutrients and oils that your hair gets from the scalp. That is why we recommend using a specialised hair shampoo and conditioner. We use J’adore Hair Supplies and think they are fantastic (you can check the complete offer on their website)! You want to avoid products that contain sulphate and alcohol. This is going to dry out and damage your extensions. You should apply the shampoo in a downwards motion. Be sure to wash all of the shampoo away so none of it builds up and damages bonds. Conditioner should be applied through the lengths and avoiding the bonds at the roots. This can cause them to slip. Remove any excess water when you are finished.

While you can still your hair extensions with a curling wand, straighteners and hairdryer, it is important to protect the hair from the high temperatures. Just like your natural hair, heating tools can dry out and damage extensions. So, be sure to set them on the lowest heat setting and use quality heat protection spray before you begin styling. You only need a light spray over all parts of your hair and this will act as a barrier against damage. Avoid straightening or curling hair close to the bonds at the roots so they do not get damaged. In addition, slip your hair into individual sections so avoid overusing the heating tools on the same parts. Our specialists love to test out the latest trends and when you use a heat protection spray, you can do this at home too!

The great thing about Remy human hair extensions is that they can be dyed a different colour and still look beautiful. You can dye the roots, as well as use a full semi-permanent colour of your choice. But the one thing you always have to remember is not to lighten your extensions. For example, going from black to blonde. This will cause them to become dry and this is how they get damaged, which is the last thing that you want. Of course, if you are unsure, our hair specialists can also help you change the colour of your hair extensions. It is best to dye your hair before any maintenance, as it is possible that bonds can slip. The only way it is possible to lighten your extensions is if you have 100 percent virgin top quality hair extensions but you can always ask our team if you are unsure.
