Caring for your Hair Extensions and Wig is Protecting your Investment in Beauty

Have you ever wondered what the secret is to the incredible hair of celebrities? Some have naturally beautiful hair but most obtain their gorgeous locks with the help of wigs and hair extensions. With the help of professional stylists, celebrities achieve their glamorous signature look. In a world where first impressions and beauty are everything, wigs and hair extensions are essential in helping celebrities create their glamorous allure. With the proper extensions, you can obtain immediate hair volume for tresses that are otherwise unimpressive and dull. Alternatively, the appropriate wigs can disguise a bad haircut or even baldness. Carefully chosen extensions or hairpieces are definitely the preferred choice in dealing with hair issues.

Once you have purchased the wig or extensions that will enhance your look, you should protect your investment by caring for your products properly. Proper care can extend the life of your wig or extensions. There are several essential guidelines for proper wig / extension care.

Firstly, It’s absolutely critical to not sleep on wet hair if you have hair extensions. Be sure to always dry your hair thoroughly prior to going to bed. To ensure your extensions do not tangle, put your hair in a ponytail or braid prior to going to sleep. When washing your hair, stay away from extended contact with chlorine. If possible, put on your shower cap– it will guard you against the effects of chlorine. Swimming is generally not recommended, but a swim cap may be used if you are going to swim. It is important to wash and condition your hair right after your swim session to prevent your extensions from having extended exposure to chlorine. Avoid any exposure to chemicals to lessen the extensions exposure to damaging substances. For daily care, shampoo and condition them as you would your own hair. You’ll want to keep your extensions free from the natural oils of your scalp.

Synthetic and Human Hair pieces require different attention than hair extensions. Wig care focuses more on the washing process. Synthetic hairpieces need to be washed in lukewarm water with gentle shampoo specifically for synthetic hair. Shake the wig softly in the water. Dip it in very gently and then soak it completely in water. When removing your wig from the water, shake it delicately and let it drip dry. We advise against the use of blow dryers, heat rollers or curling irons. Synthetic wigs are not to be styled with heat-styling tools and use of them on your wig can leave permanent damage.

Never brush your wig when it is wet. Only style your wig after it has completely dried. If your wig has curls, we recommend leaving them intact and not brushing them out. Once the wig has dried completely, the curls will re-form. Your wig is still versatile and you can style it many ways without the use of heat styling tools. A good quality hairspray will do all the styling work for any of your synthetic wigs. A good professional hairstylist can also create the desired style for your wig without any effort on your part.

Protect your investment toward beauty and the new glamorous you. With some extra care and attention in maintaining your wigs and hair extensions, they will last much longer than expected. Proper care for your hair extensions and wigs is caring for your looks
