It is important that you take care of your hair extensions and wigs on a regular basis. While hair extensions and wigs made out of real human hair are easy to style and maintain, they require a certain level of care to lessen the growth of bacteria or fungus, prevent the build-up of dandruff and minimize any other negative effect it might have on your scalp. 

Below are some simple yet effective ways for you to take care of your hair extension and wig.

1. Wash your Hair Extensions and wigs regularly:

Everyday your hair extensions and wigs are exposed to a variety of elements as you go about your daily activities. To lessen or prevent the build-up of dirt or debris you need to practice proper hair care. You need to wash your hair extension every 2 to 3 days if they are permanently or semi-permanently attached to your head. If they are clipped in temporarily, then you need to wash your hair 1 to 2 times per month.  Additionally, you have to use the right hair care products and routine to prevent damage. This way, your hair will remain in good condition, look great and last longer.

2. Pack your hair before sleeping, exercising or swimming:

    It is extremely important that you pack your hair properly before sleeping, exercising or swimming. Your hair can tangle and form tight knots that are difficult to loosen during these activities. This can lead to hair damage and breakage as you try to fix the problem. Simply brushing your hair before braiding or making a ponytail will keep your hair in place & prevent any surprises. Remember, to dry your hair properly before you brush, style and braid your hair. This will not only protect your hair but make things easier and leave you with a sleek looking hair extension.

    3. Avoid Excess Heat:

    Constant use of heated tools such as a hot roller or iron can damage the bonds or clips of your synthetic hair. To prevent hair damage and breakage, be sure to use a heat protection spray or allow your hair to air dry. Be sure to use your heating tools at the appropriate heating temperature to straighten your hair and limit any side effects whatsoever.   

    4. Use a conditioner regularly:

    Your hair extensions and wigs do not benefit from the moisturizing and protective benefits of the natural oils (sebum) your scalp produces. To prevent dryness you have to regularly apply restorative conditioner to your hair extensions and wigs, at least two to three times before shampooing.

    5. Avoid Chemicals in your Hair Products: 

      The content of your hair care products also matters a lot. Chemicals like sulphates and parabens can strip your hair extensions and wigs from its oil, moisture and infiltrate your body. Hair Care Products that are sulphate, paraben and sodium chloride-free will leave your hair extensions in perfect condition while protecting you from any harmful side effects.

      10 things you didn’t know about hair

      Do you have a nightly skin care routine? Of course you do. How about a hair care regime before bed?  Taking care of your hair is just as important as your nightly skincare routine. In fact, treating your hair at night time will help you make the most of your beauty sleep and achieve your hair goals. Hair care is even more important if you have invested money in quality hair extensions from Superior Hair Extensions because you know they need TLC to lengthen their lifespan. So let’s take a look at how you can change up your night-time hair care for the better. WHAT NOT TO DO We’re all guilty of going to sleep without much thought of our hair health. But there are some habits you should definitely break if you want to wake up with beautiful hair. DON’T GO TO BED WITH WET HAIR There are several reasons not to go to bed with wet hair – it can cause severe hair breakage, encourage bacteria growth on your pillow, cause hair loss, make you feel cold, and make your hair appear dull and harder to style.  If you do need to shower before bed, make sure you dry your hair before your head hits the pillow – we recommend using heat protectant and hair dryer to dry your hair.  DON’T LEAVE YOUR HAIR TIED UP Leaving your hair tied up in a tight ponytail or bun can cause damage to your hair while you sleep, leaving you with broken hair around the area of the hair tie.  No one likes hair breakage, so if you do need to sleep with your hair tied up, make sure it’s in a braid, secured with bobby pins or wrapped in a loose bun.  DON’T GO TO BED WITH HAIRSPRAY IN Going to sleep with hairspray, gel or other styling product in your hair can result in transfer to your pillow, which overtime can build up and get on your face, ultimately blocking your pores and resulting in acne and pimples. WHAT TO DO There are a few simple changes you can make to your bed time routine to have your hair looking fresh and luscious throughout the day. INVEST IN A SATIN OR SILK PILLOWCASES Silk and satin pillowcases sound a little fancy, but you will be impressed with how sleeping on a satin or silk pillowcase can help to keep your hair tame throughout the night and make it more manageable in the morning. BECOME BESTIES WITH BRAIDS Not only do braids help you achieve effortless and heatless beachy waves overnight, they also keep your hair a bit more protected while you sleep. Braids work great to tame your tape hair extensions while you sleep. SCALP MASSAGE FOR THE WIN We all know how good it feels when you’re at your hair salon, head back in the basin and your hair dresser starts with the scalp massage – HEAVEN. But did you know that regularly massaging your scalp is a great way to stimulate hair growth.  Try giving yourself a scalp massage as you apply hair serums or treatments to make the most of your hair care. KEEP MOISTURISED Moisturising plays a key part andof skin care hair care. Keep your hair hydrated by applying a deep hydrating conditioner, leave-in hair serum or restorative hair treatment once a week. MAKE SURE TO GET YOUR BEAUTY SLEEP Getting enough sleep seems to be the answer for most issues, but that is because sleep is an essential function to your entire body – from repairing muscles to caring for your hair.  Follow your hair care routine, climb into your pyjamas, and aim for a minimum of 7 hours of quality sleep each night.
