Swimming with Hair Extensions
People come into our stores all the time talking about how they want to get hair extensions for their next vacation. But...we hate to break their hearts of their carefree fantasies involving jumping in and of the ocean and pools with drink in hand.... but hair extensions require maintenance.
We can't say it enough...so we will say it again... Hair Extensions require maintenance!
Chlorine and Salt Water can wreak havoc on your own tresses let alone someone else's. The drying and striping effect cuts into the life of your extensions so here are a few tips is you want to maintain your hair extensions but still have fun:
1. Wet your hair before entering the pool with filtered water either from your bathroom or the shower at the pool. This prevents your hair from absorbing too much of the salt or pool water.
2. Coat your strands with a rich and heavy hair mask or deep conditioner. This will seal the cuticle to prevent it from absorbing any additional salts or chlorine.
3. Put your hair into a braid or bun! Do not let the ocean water agitate your hair that increases the risk of tangling
4. As soon as you are done swimming...run to the shower to rinse any water that you might have absorbed and rinse it clean.
5. Then use either a leave in or preferably thermal protectant spray.
6. Deep condition with heat as soon as you can.
If you have blonde hair extensions... you really need to pay attention to every step less you end up with green hair that looks like straw!
So Sunny's Girls please take heed to our instructions and share them with friends....a real Sunny's Girl doesn't let other Sunny's Girls walk around with horrible hair extensions!
