Hair Extension Rules

We discuss important Hair Extension Rules that we’re all guilty of not following. Read on as we explore the common mistakes made with hair extensions and how to ensure the longest lifespan for your hair investment!

Hair Extension Rules

Hair Extension Rules

Congratulations! You have just bought yourself a set of gorgeous new Hair Extensions. Be sure to follow these rules to ensure the longest life possible with your new hair investment. Read on as we explore the holy grail of hair extension care tips to maximise your longer, fuller, gorgeous new hair.

Hair Extension Rules

Rule #1: Use Low Heat Settings on your styling tools

We all know how harsh heating tools can be on your own hair! It is important to use low temperature settings when styling your hair extensions. Be sure to also use a good heat protectant before styling your hair to ensure your hair does not burn.

Hair Extension Rules

Rule #2: Use sulphate free products

When washing your hair, be sure to use sulphate free shampoo and conditioners to avoid drying out your hair extensions. It may be tempting to opt for the cheaper alternative when you’re in the beauty aisle, however you have been warned! Sulphates are too efficient that they clean your hair too well, causing your hair to dry out much easier.

Hair Extension RulesRule #3: Brush your extensions regularly when wearing

As the hair cuticle is not part of your natural hair, hair extensions will tangle much easier than your natural hair. Be sure to brush your hair regularly with a hair extension safe brush, such as our Tangle Tamer, which will ensure your hair stays as smooth as possible for the life of your wear. Ain’t nobody got time for tangles! 

Rule #4: Hydrate your extensions with natural oils

As hair extensions don’t receive natural oils like your own hair, it is important to treat your extensions with hydrating oils to ensure the longest life span possible. You can read our previous blog post about The Best Natural Oils For Hair Extensions Here.

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.

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.
