If, like us, you’re desperate for a post-lockdown glow-up, taking care of your clip in hair extensions in the meantime is crucial. So, if you’ve been rocking the messy bun look throughout lockdown, it’s time to dig out your trusty clip-ins and give them some much needed TLC in time for summer.
How to wash your clip in hair extensions
Never ‘rough’ up your clip in hair extensions when applying shampoo, gently massage the shampoo & conditioner into the hair to prevent them from tangling. For the best results, use an Argan oil mask to smooth out any tangles.
Imogen from premium hair and extensions retailer Foxy Locks, said: It is best to use a hair mask every time you wash your hair extensions to revive them. We recommend using a conditioning treatment on the mid-length to ends of your hair extensions. Apply a nourishing Argan Oil hair mask overnight to get the best results. Or use it as a conditioner every time you wash your clip in hair extensions.”
How often should you wash clip in extensions?
Now you’ve got that first big wash out of the way, you should only need to wash your clip-in extensions once every 3-4 weeks (depending on how often you wear them.) If you’re storing them, try to keep the hair as flat as possible in (the one you get when you first buy your clip-in extensions is perfect, so don’t throw it away.
Looking after your hair extensions
Just like your normal hair, your hair extensions are prone to split ends and dry frizz if you don’t take care of them properly. So, as well as nourishing them during washes, you should use a paddle brush, such as the ultimate detangler by Foxy Locks to prevent damage to your extensions when brushing.
