For the professionals in the show business, it is always exciting to reinvent themselves every day. In fact, many of us love to experiment with our hair and wonder how cool it is to flaunt a pixie haircut today and the long, voluminous hair the next day. If you are yet to discover the magical traits of hair extensions, here are some of the expert tips to maintain your gorgeous hair underneath the delicate strands of human hair extensions.

Prep up your hair before installing the extensions:

Before you begin the fun, it is essential to wash your hair and hydrate them properly. A clean scalp and hydrated scalp is always desirable for maintaining a healthy hair. Consider applying pure coconut oil with the conditioner, before you install the strands or turn to liquid moisturizer or hair cream if you want to avoid the greasiness which accompanies the oil. If you are braiding your hair, make sure you detangle your hair properly before styling it to avoid stressing your hair follicles trying to eradicate the knots.

Keep a tab of the expiry date:

One of the vital factors, to be remembered while braiding or weaving your hair is to note down the expiry date of your hairstyle. Typically, the braided extensions can last from six to eight weeks. If you do not change your hairstyle at least after three months, your hair will be exhausted. This will result in excessive locks and entanglement, which in turn will lead to severe hair loss and damage. It is ideally recommended to keep the braids for two weeks to one month, to avoid stressing your hair follicles. However, if you are wearing wigs, you may wash and braid your hair as per your convenience, because wigs offer you more flexibility, compared to the hair extensions.

Do not go for chemical procedures before installing hair extensions:

No matter what kind of chemical services you have subjected your hair too, it is always better to allow them at least two weeks to settle down in your hair before installing hair extensions. Many people think that hair relaxing treatments or Brazilian Keratin therapies are different from other chemical services like dying the hair. But, the fact is that your hair needs pampering, and time after a stressful chemical process. It might be annoying, but unless you allow your hair to relax, for the time being, it will stress and damage your hair.

You can also prepare your unique hairspray by mixing coconut oil or any other organic oil with a bit of water, to be applied from time to time. A blend of apple cider vinegar and water is also a good substitute if you do not want to use excessive dry shampoo in your hair.
