You watch the waves lapping at the white sandy shore and your friends playing in the ocean. Don’t you wish that you could swim and play in the beautiful blue ocean? But you don’t believe that you can without damaging your Indian hair extensions. Don’t be ridiculous! Of course you can swim in the ocean instead of sit by yourself on a beach towel. Just remember the following guidelines to protect your gorgeous Indian hair extensions.
Before Entering Salt Water
Before you start swimming, saturate your hair with fresh water. Hair can only absorb so much water. You can also wear a bathing cap to protect your hair if you expect to be in the water for an extended period. Braiding your hair can diminish tangling and is recommended. It is also a good idea to thoroughly coat your hair with a quality conditioner. One that offers UV protections is the best choice.
During Your Dip in the Ocean
Try to limit the time that your hair is exposed to salt water. It is best to not stay in the water longer than two hours. Extended exposure can soften glue.
After You Swim
Immediately rinse your hair with fresh water. Do not brush out wet hair. Apply a UV protective conditioner to protect your hair. Once your hair has dried, carefully comb out with a wide-toothed detangling comb.
These tips are great for beaded, sewn-in or glued-in Indian hair extensions. If you are wearing clip-in extensions, it is best if you remove them before swimming. These tips apply to swimming in both the ocean and chlorinated pools. If you are careful and take the proper precautions to protect your beautiful Indian hair extensions, than you should not hesitate to enjoy the water this summer. Not caring for your locks can leave them dry, brittle and prone to damage. So, go ahead, jump in! The water’s great.
