Are you, like us, eagerly waiting for summer? Is the rainy weather getting on your nerves, too? Let's bring a little sunshine into your everyday life. In this blog post, we get ready for the warmer months together. Find out what you need to watch out for to protect your hair extensions and hair thickening from environmental stress in summer.
Hat, cap or scarf
Hat, cap or scarf? All three offer ideal protection against too much sun on your scalp, and your human hair extensions can also suffer from too much UV radiation. Not only is your hair protected, but your skin is, too. The skin on your face is especially sensitive to too much sun and can be well protected with a hat and sunscreen.
Go shopping right away and pick out a stylish hat or headwear to get perfectly ready for summer.
Moisture and care
Lots of sun, warm air and cool water. Who doesn't love that? Unfortunately, our hair sees things differently. For
hair, heat and water can be damaging and make it brittle. Extensions are even more sensitive to environmental stress, because they don't receive moisture and nutrients from the scalp.
That makes good moisturizing care all the more important in summer. Our extensions care is ideal for all types of extensions. Use a nourishing hair serum and a moisturizing spray every day. Your extensions, and your own hair, will definitely thank you!
Brushing
Brushing your extensions is especially important in summer to prevent tangles. Use a soft extensions brush or a comb and work your way from the bottom up to loosen tangles. This way, you avoid putting too much pressure on the attachment points. Brushing also removes dirt particles from your hair that would otherwise settle in until your next wash.
Chlorine and salt water
Chlorine and salt water can damage and dry out your extensions. To prevent this, always tie your extensions up before swimming. A bun or a braid is our first choice, but if you prefer a ponytail or an updo, these styles are also perfect for a day at the beach or by the pool. You can also wear a swim cap to protect your hair.
If your hair does come into contact with the water, rinse it thoroughly afterward. A moisturizing shampoo helps prevent split and dry ends.
Hydration from the inside matters, too, so always drink enough water in summer!
Hairstyles
Summer is the time for loose, light hairstyles! Braids, fishtail braids and beach curls are all great options for summer. For these styles, it is best to use products that don't weigh your hair down or make it sticky, so your extensions stay healthy.
Our favorite summer hairstyle is definitely the messy bun. It takes just a few simple steps, suits every occasion and effectively protects your hair extensions from harmful UV rays, water and heat.
In short: wear hats, caps and other headwear, use moisturizing care and hair oil, brush regularly, protect your extensions from chlorine and salt water, and choose loose hairstyles.
