How To Fix My Dry Damaged Hair Extensions
We all shared the same experience that we were so excited to get our new human hair bundles installed and they have been holding up fine for a while, but after several weeks, we are noticing that our hair extensions are becoming very dry and dull.
Are you going to throw these bundles away and buy new hair? No, no no. Hair extensions are an investment and we need to make them last us as long as possible. There are some tips on how to keep your hair healthy shiny and moisturize.
Keep reading this blog post, I'm gonna give you some suggestions that you need to incorporate in order to get your weave back on the right track.
Using Quality Hair Care Products
The very first thing I'm gonna suggest is that you have to make sure that you're using quality hair care products to take care of your extensions. This is the same piece of advice and especially the first thing that I always mentioned because this is what reinforces the health of your extensions as well as your real hair.
Now, I've gone into detail plenty of times about what to look for in your products to make sure that it is quality for your hair and even for your extensions. If you want more information specific information for your case, I suggest that you do some research for doing so. It will go step by step as far as how to use each specific product, what each specific product will do to your hair, and how to make sure that you're picking it according to its ingredients.
It's super important that you use products that will actually preserve your hair because if not, it's going to become dry and dull.
Using Light Oils
Another tip I'm gonna mention as well is that when using oils on your extension, I always suggest two top oils to make sure that it's not going to cause any buildup on your hair or cause any further breakage or dryness or anything like that.
Those two oils are argan oil and coconut oil. They are very light in its molecular weight, which means that it won't cause much build-up and I actually feel like you barely put any product on your hair. Those are the two best oils to use on your extensions when taking care of them.
Follow the LOC Method
The third thing that I'm going to suggest depends on the type of extensions you're and I'm going to suggest the LOC method for keeping your extensions moisturized.
The LOC method has been getting so popular because a lot of women want to figure out how to keep their hair moisturized for an extended period of time. The secret to this is the way that you layer your products going from the most watery consistency products to the thickest product. Just to let you know the LOC method if you don't know what it is. It's an abbreviation for the type of products that you use in the order in which it's applied to your hair. L stands for liquid, which can also be water or a leaf in a product. O stands for oil and C stands for cream.
I only suggest the LOC method if you have curly hair weave or body wave hair or kinky curly hair because just a little bit of oil may not do justice for keeping the hair moisturized healthy and shiny especially when you're using very kinky extensions to add to the look of your hair. You have to incorporate the LOC method to prevent the extensions from becoming dry.
Staying Away From Heat Damage As Much As Possible
There is no doubt that everyone loves the instant result of styling by putting heat on your extensions, but heat is possibly the biggest enemy of your extensions. When you take great effort to fix your damaged hair extensions, make sure you stay away from heat damage as much as possible.
In order to avoid excessive use of flat iron and curling rods, try to choose hair bundles with a texture that you are going to wear in a long period of time. I mean if you like straight hair, go for straight hair bundles, if you like curly hair, purchase curly hair for sew in hair. This will directly reduce the times you put heat on your hair weave. When you have to straighten or curl the hair extensions, apply heat protectant is a must. Actually, there are still a lot of lovely heat-free hairstyles. You can easily discover and learn more on Youtube.
If you can keep good have habits while wearing hair extensions, I promise you will find your hair in a good condition for a long time.
Buying High-Quality Hair Extensions
The very last tip that I'm going to suggest is a tip that you probably don't want to hear. You hope it's not true, but it's possible that it can be true especially if you haven't had your extensions for a while. It is you probably have poor quality extensions.
If you notice that the hair is becoming dry, you got to keep it moisturized. If you're doing everything possible to keep your extensions healthy, it's still breaking off, flying off, and frizzy all over the place and it's hard to even style it. It's possible that your hair is filled with fillers. Most fillers are usually filled with a very straight or silky plastic fiber. You can notice this especially if it seems as if your hair isn't even curling properly or retaining moisture.
The best hair extensions you can find in the market is virgin hair, which usually lasts you 6 months to 1 year. Please make sure you get virgin human hair before installation. If you don’t know where to purchase great hair with affordable prices, check out JC Hair Factory human hair bundles. It is a factory based virgin hair vendor.
Of course, you have to follow all those tips that I've suggested to make sure that you can keep your hair healthy moisturize and shiny. If all else fails, it is probably because you don't have great quality hair extensions. I hope that was tips has helped you.
