Hair Extension Revival Guide

Hair Extension Revival Guide

Do your hair extensions need a little bit of TLC? Read on as we show you how to care and maintain for your locks and what products you can use to bring your hair extensions back to life.

Like your teeth, your hair extensions should be brushed regularly (with a ZALA Tangle Tamer of course! Leave your tooth brush for your teeth…)

Brushing your extensions regularly will help prevent any severe knotting or matting of the sets. This rule applies to any brand of hair extension, as the hair is not attached to your own head. Hair Extensions are more prone to knotting, so take all care to avoid knots and tangling.

It is super important  to treat your extensions regularly to avoid damaging the hair and to re-hydrate the follicle. By regularly treating your hair extensions, you will get the most out of your set.

Must Have Hair Extension Accessories

When it comes to healthy and happy hair extensions, always remember to accessorise! ZALA brings you all the must have hair extension accessories you need for the best looking locks.

 Silk Pillowcase

Silk pillow cases are the ultimate luxurious, must have hair extension accessories! Laying your head on silk every night will pay off for your hair in the long term. This is because, the natural properties and smooth texture of silk reduces friction and therefore prevents damage to the hair follicle. We would recommend  silk pillow case for any gal with tape extensions to keep them soft and healthy.

Tangle Tamer

It is important to use the right brush when brushing your hair extensions. Normal combs and brushes can snag and pull on both clip and tape extensions, causing damage and breakage. This is why we recommend our tangle tamer or loop brush which have been specially designed to be gentle on the weft/tape and reduce pulling and tugging.

Hair Treatment

As hair extensions do not create or receive the same natural oils as your own hair, incorporating lots of moisturising hair treatments into your regime is so important! This will add moisture back to the hair follicle, keeping the hair soft and healthy. We love hair oils, make and hair repair sprays to keep your extensions in the best shape.

Protect Me Bag

Storing your extensions correctly contributes majorly to the lifespan and health of your set. We always recommend our Protect Me Bag to avoid damage and frizz from humid climates or any tangling or snagging when being stored! This one of the most important must have hair extension accessories.

Heat from styling can be a major source of damage to your ZALAs! To ensure your extensions stay as soft and healthy for as long as possible, we always recommend using a heat protectant before blow drying, straightening or curling. This will prevent damage and stop your extensions from drying out.

Best Oils for Healthy Hair

Natural oils are the best remedy for a huge number of hair related issues. Whether you are suffering from dry and frizzy locks, weakened hair, looking to speed up hair growth or soothe a dry and itchy scalp, read on as we explore the Best Oils for Healthy Hair.

Argan Oil

Pure argan oil is an incredible way to get dry hair healthy again. Argan oil comes from extracts of the argan tree, therefore making it 100% natural, safe and chemical-free! This oil is perfect for anyone with dry or frizzy hair looking to add back moisture quickly and easily. Simply add a few drops to dry hair for smoother, softer, and shinier hair.

Best Oils for Healthy Hair

Coconut Oil

Coconut oil is known as the holy grail of natural oils. It is great for all hair types or anyone who is looking to add shine and get their hair soft and healthy. For the best results, we recommend coating your hair in it, concentrating the product at the ends and leaving it in your hair overnight. When you wash your hair in the morning, it will feel softer and healthy than ever! (be sure to protect your pillowcase with a towel, or wear a shower cap overnight)

Best Oils for Healthy Hair

Almond Oil

Almond oil is another fantastic natural oil that will help improve the condition of your hair. It contains Omega-3 fatty acids and Vitamin E which nourishes and strengthens your hair, but can sooth an itchy scalp and dandruff. For the best results, heat up a small amount in the microwave (be careful not to make it too hot!) and apply it to the hair. The heat will open up your hair cuticle and allow for enhanced moisturising. You can rub the oil into your scalp and use a brush to allow the product to be evenly dispersed along the length of your hair. We would recommend leaving this over night and washing it out in the morning for soft and healthy hair.

Best Oils for Healthy Hair

Castor Oil

Castor oil has amazing hair growth promoting properties. Like many other oils, its best results come from applying it to hair overnight and washing it out in the morning. If you want long and healthy hair, castor oil masks are the best solution for you!

Best Oils for Healthy Hair

Marula Oil

Marula oil is loaded with Vitamin C, therefore can help protect hair from any damaging UV rays or heat from styling tools. This miracle oil will not only get your hair healthy again and allow for the softest locks, but has a beautiful floral scent. If you’re not a fan of the smell of other natural oils such as coconut oil or almond oil, marula oil is a perfect alternative.

BEFORE YOU GO: HOW TO PACK YOUR EXTENSIONS

If you’re planning on taking your ZALA clip in extensions to your destination of choice, always make sure you pack them right! Follow our instructions for safe packing below:

  1. Brush out your extensions with a travel sized brush, such as our Tangle Tamer, to remove any tangles or knots before packing them.
  2. Clip your extensions into their hanger and place them inside the protective bag – we would recommend our Protect Me Bag to keep your locks safe and frizz free.
  3. Once your suit case is about half full, lay the Protect Me Bag flat on top and pack your remaining clothes and items over the top. This will keep them kink free and avoid any tangling during transit.

GETTING THERE: IN FLIGHT HAIR CARE FOR YOUR EXTENSIONS

Planes can really dry out your skin and your hair, so it is important you treat your extensions right when travelling via plane. These are out top tips on caring for your tapes or clip ins during your flight:

  1. To avoid any tangling when sleeping or sitting for long periods, we would recommend braiding your hair. This will keep your extensions tangle free and in great shape once you have arrived at your destination.
  2. Leave in conditioning treatments are easy to use and a great way to add moisture back into your hair after a long flight! You can even do them before boarding your flight to keep your hair feeling soft and smooth all the way there.
  3. Silk pillow cases are the best option for any extension lover! That’s why we always make sure to bring one on the plane. You can simply pop it over the pillow provided on the plane (or even your own) to keep your hair silky smooth.

YOU’VE ARRIVED: HOW TO CARE FOR YOUR EXTENSIONS ON HOLIDAYS

If you’re planning on swimming on your holiday, it is important to take care of your extensions accordingly. Salt and chlorinated water can cause damage to extensions without proper use. Follow these tips to keep them soft and healthy:

  1. After swimming in salt or chlorinated water, always be sure to rinse your hair with fresh water to remove any residual salt/chlorine that could dry out and damage your extensions.
  2. Using an extension safe brush (like our Tangle Tamer) brush through your hair before it dries. This will allow your hair to dry without any knots and helps avoid snagging.
  3. It is super important to incorporate deep conditioning treatments when swimming regularly. As your extensions cannot generate their own oils, deep conditioners are the perfect way to add back some moisture to your hair after swimming.
  4. Most importantly, don’t forget to enjoy your time on your holiday with your long and beautiful hair!Follow us on Instagram to keep up with our favourite holiday looks!

Foods that promote longer thicker hair

In order for your hair and body to appear healthy and beautiful on the outside, it all starts with what’s on the inside. Read on as we explore foods that promote longer thicker hair.Foods that promote longer thicker hair

Foods that promote longer thicker hair

foods-that-promote-longer-thicker-hair

Salmon

Salmon is naturally rich in protein, fatty acids, and vitamin D. Protein rich foods encourage cell repair and renewal which is what your hair needs to grow as fast and thick as possible! Alongside the added benefits of this protein rich fish, fatty acids such as Omega 3 will add shine to your hair, skin and nails.

foods-that-promote-longer-thicker-hair

Capsicum

Capsicum, or Bell Peppers, are loaded with vitamin C. Vitamin C encourages your immune system response to work at a healthy level. This will encourage stronger skin and a healthy hair shaft to ensure thicker hair and less hair loss. Capsicum is also said to be great for preventing nasty diseases and illnesses.

foods-that-promote-longer-thicker-hair

Avocado

Avocados are rich with fatty acids. Like salmon, avocado encourages cell growth and repair. An added benefit of eating avocado is it’s ability to encourage collagen and elastin production meaning that your hair, skin, and joints will be firm and well lubricated. Alongside eating avocado, applying it topically to your hair as a hair mask will make it hydrated and smooth.

You can view our DIY Hair Mask video here:

Almonds

Almonds are a great snack! They are also high in Biotin, or vitamin H. Biotin help keep your skin, hair, eyes, and liver healthy. Therefore the healthier these organs, the optimally they will perform, meaning your hair will grow thick and fast!
