Expert Tips: How to Put Up Hair Extensions Without Damaging Your Hair

When you have hair extensions it’s important to take care when putting up your hair to avoid pulling on your extensions.

Here are some of our top tips for putting your hair up when you have extensions:

1. Avoid putting your hair in high ponytails, top knots, or high buns as this can pull on your extensions. Instead opt for low styles.
2. Avoid having salon blow-dries as these can loosen your hair extensions
3. We would recommend trying to style your hair when you wash it as hair extensions hold a style for a long time, this means you hair will always look good!
4. Low ponytails and plaits are the perfect styling for every-day and when you’re on holiday.
5. Make sure you use the right tools, a tangle teezer brush is great as it won’t pull on your hair extensions.
