Hair extensions are very easy to look after when you are away on holiday, once you know what you are doing.
With that being said, the experts at Silke Hair & Beauty have shared their top tips that will keep your extensions looking beautiful before, during, and after your trip.
Take a look:
Top tip 1: If you are due a new set of hair extensions but have a holiday coming, the Silke Hair & Beauty team recommend you get the new set after your holidays to avoid any sun damage that can occur.
Top tip 2: Protect your hair extensions from UVA and UVB rays. Extensions will react to a chemical called Avobenzone and Octocrylene in suncreams. To avoid this, use a natural Zinc based suncream.
Top tip 3: Hair extension shampoos and conditioners are specially formulated to help your hair extensions stay in top condition. Make sure to pack your sulphate free products.
Top tip 4: Keep your hair out of the water as much as possible. If you do swim, you should tie your hair in a ponytail or bun and apply some conditioner. This will act as a barrier against the chlorine.
Top tip 5: A hair extension brush is a must have. Make sure to brush your extensions daily especially after they have been washed.
Top tip 6: Never sleep with your hair extensions wet. Always plait your extensions at night or wear in a ponytail to avoid tangling.
Top tip 7: The Silke Hair & Beauty team recommend always using a heat protector when applying heat to your hair.
Top tip 8: After being in the sea or the pool, wash your hair shortly after or at least give your hair extensions a good rinse by a poolside shower.
