How do I dry my hair extensions? We are on hand to give you our top tips!
Quick Answer
To dry hair extensions properly: wrap a towel over your head like a veil, gently squeeze out water rather than rubbing, finger-brush while drying, concentrate on drying the root area, only use a brush once hair is 95% dry, never pull on the extensions, and blow-dry the halo section smooth. Air drying is fine as long as you dry the roots thoroughly first.

Sarah Mckenna
Sarah McKenna is the founder of Vixen & Blush and The London Hair Lab. Sarah graduated as a research biochemist in 2005 and started a career within the pharmaceutical industry, before becoming a hair extensions expert. In 2010, Sarah gained insight into the hair extensions industry and could see that clients had a very poor value/quality proposition. At that time, poor-quality hair extensions were available, at prohibitively high prices. Sarah left her initial career and set out on a mission to improve the hair extensions industry in the UK, using her research and development skills.
Spending 3 years securing a high-quality and sustainable supply of human hair, Sarah then developed new products and fitting techniques to allow long-term refits of the same hair. In this way, Sarah was able to offer hair extensions services at a more affordable price to clients, while improving the quality of the service for her clients.
With Vixen & Blush starting in 2012 as a 1 chair salon in London, Sarah quickly grew the business to what it is today, a team of more than 20 hair professionals working together as London’s leading hair extensions specialists.
