5 Ways To Keep Your Extensions Beautiful And Healthy
Welcome to the Lula Hair blog, where we share the best tips and tricks to ensure your premium hair extensions remain in perfect condition. Our extensions are made from the highest quality materials, and with the right care, they can last longer and look even more fabulous. Here are five essential ways to keep your Lula Hair extensions in pristine condition:
1. Gentle Washing Routine
Just like your natural hair, extensions need regular washing to stay clean and fresh. However, it's crucial to be gentle:
- Frequency: Wash your extensions every 1-2 weeks, depending on how often you wear them and your activity level.
- Products: Use sulfate-free and alcohol-free shampoos and conditioners. These products are less harsh and help maintain the hair's natural moisture balance.
- Technique: Detangle the hair before washing. Use lukewarm water and apply shampoo gently, avoiding vigorous rubbing. Rinse thoroughly and follow with a conditioner, focusing on the mid-lengths and ends.
While regular shampoo and conditioner can be used to wash your extensions, we strongly recommend using our own formula, which comes in a set with your extensions, and is available to purchase for replacements.
Our Shampoos are specifically designed for our hair extensions, and to keep them rich, thick and well nourished to ensure your Lula extensions last a lifetime!
2. Proper Drying Methods
Drying your extensions properly is vital to prevent damage:
- Air Drying: The best way to dry your extensions is to let them air dry naturally. Lay them flat on a clean, dry towel and pat them gently to remove excess water.
- Blow Drying: If you need to blow dry, use a heat protectant spray first. Use a blow dryer on a low heat setting and avoid holding it too close to the hair.
3. Heat Styling with Care
While our Lula Hair extensions can be styled just like your natural hair, it's important to use heat tools cautiously:
- Heat Protectant: Always apply a heat protectant spray before using any heat styling tools.
- Temperature: Keep the temperature below 350°F (180°C) to prevent damage.
- Tools: Opt for high-quality heat styling tools with adjustable temperature settings.
4. Regular Brushing
Brushing your extensions regularly helps to keep them smooth and tangle-free:
- Tools: Use a wide-tooth comb or a brush specifically designed for extensions. Avoid regular brushes, as they can pull and damage the hair.
- Technique: Start from the ends and work your way up to the roots. Hold the hair at the base to prevent pulling on the bonds or wefts.
5. Storage and Maintenance
Proper storage and maintenance are key to prolonging the life of your extensions:
- Storage: Store your extensions in a cool, dry place, preferably in a breathable bag. Ensure they are completely dry before storing to prevent mold and mildew.
- Maintenance: Schedule regular maintenance appointments with a professional stylist. They can help with any adjustments or reapplications needed to keep your extensions looking their best.
Conclusion
By following these five essential tips, you can ensure that your Lula Hair extensions remain beautiful, healthy, and long-lasting. Remember, the better you care for your extensions, the better they will care for you, giving you that luxurious, flawless look every day.
