Giving your hair a break from excessive heat styling is a good idea in Summer. Embrace your natural hairstyle or opt for heat-free alternatives like putting your hair in plaits before you sleep for the ultimate no heat waves! If you are styling your hair with your favourite curling iron or straighteners make sure to apply a heat protection spray to minimize any damage. Once you have styled your hair, having hair extensions will help keep the curl for up to 3 days, meaning less styling time for you!
If you are heading out for the day in the sunshine, we would recommend wearing a hat or scarf to protect your hair from direct sunlight. Just like your skin your hair can also suffer from sun damage.
Regular trims of your hair are great for keeping it healthy! Getting your hair trimmed regularly is a great way to prevent split ends and promote healthy hair growth. During your hair extension appointment, you can ask one of our stylists to give your natural hair a trim before fitting. It’s best to get your hair trimmed at our salon as we can ensure a soft cut which will blend flawlessly with your extensions.
If you are in and out of a swimming pool or the sea, it’s a great idea to put your hair in a low ponytail or bun to keep it from getting tangled. Make sure to release your hair and use a tangle teezer to brush out any knots.
Chlorine and salt water can be harsh on your hair, this can cause your hair to become dry or discoloured. Minimize the effect of chlorine by making sure you rinse your hair thoroughly after getting out the water.
