Maintain Healthy Hair & General Hair Care Tips
Every hair deserves a good care. Even your hair extensions, whether they are sew-in, glue-in, tape-in or clip-in, need a proper hair care process to last longer and appear more beautiful. What are the general tips for caring hair extensions? Have a look now.
Wash your hair correctly
If you can, try not to wash your hair every day. Daily baths and showers will strip your hair of its natural oils. You might thoroughly know your hair extensions already lack tons of oil when they are separated from the scalp, so wash your hair every other day or less often if you can.
So here is the suggested process of washing hair (general — can be used for both hair extension wearers or non-wearers)

Massage your scalp with the shampoo and conditioner. Do this for about 40 seconds before washing it out. If you have oily hair, repeat the process once more (with the shampoo, not conditioner). When you massage the top of your head, the circulation increases and it also helps prevent dandruff. Use a sulfate and silicone free shampoo if your hair is curly or wavy.
– Pour conditioner into your hand and rub from the tips of your hair to the roots. If you want softer silkier looking hair, leave the conditioner in your hair for a few minutes before you rinse it off.
– Try to wash your hair on the coolest setting that is comfortable or at least try giving it a final rinse of cool water. This seals the hair cuticles (the outermost layer of the hair shaft) and locks in moisture, making it shinier. Hotter water may be used occasionally to wash hair, if you have very oily or dirty hair. Either way, try rinsing in cool temperature water for the final rinse
Dry your hair in a careful manner
Blow dryers can be more benefiting than air-drying if you use them correctly. When you blow dry your hair, put it on a cool setting and hold distance it away to protect it from any heat. If you hold the blow dryer too close, the water in your hair can begin to boil. This is why hair dryers are known to be bad, but if you use it correctly it is very good. If you can, avoid drying your hair with heat as much as you can; it will only age your hair.
– Avoid wringing your hair with a towel after you get out of a shower. Wet hair is more fragile, and wringing it could cause your hair strands to break or fall out.
– Use heat protection spray when you blow dry your hair. You should also use protection spray when you use hot rollers or a flat iron.

Avoid brushing your hair while it’s wet
Wet hair is stretchier and has a tendency to break. Also, don’t brush your hair too much. People say that brushing your hair 100 strokes a day will make it smoother — but it will only cause breakage to your hair.
– When you do brush your hair, try a natural bristle brush like a boar bristle brush. These brushes distribute oils throughout your hair to make it softer and shinier.
– Only use a wide-tooth comb on wet hair. Apply leave-in conditioner or detangler to make your hair more pliable.
