Here are some tips on how to care for synthetic hair extensions:
- Wash them rarely. Synthetic hair extensions are not as absorbent as human hair, so they don’t need to be washed as often. Only wash them when they are visibly dirty or smelly.
- Use a mild shampoo and conditioner. Avoid using shampoos or conditioners that contain sulfates or alcohol, as these can dry out the hair.
- Detangle gently. Use a wide-tooth comb or detangling brush to detangle synthetic hair extensions. Be gentle, as they are more prone to tangling than human hair.
- Air dry them. Don’t use a hair dryer on synthetic hair extensions, as the heat can damage them. Let them air dry naturally.
- Avoid heat styling. Synthetic hair extensions can be heat styled, but it is best to avoid doing so as much as possible. If you do need to heat style them, use a low heat setting and be careful not to over-style them.
- Store them properly. When you are not wearing your synthetic hair extensions, store them in a cool, dry place. Avoid storing them in direct sunlight or heat, as this can damage them.
Here are some additional tips:
- You can use a light oil, such as jojoba oil, to help keep synthetic hair extensions soft and manageable.
- Trim the ends of your extensions regularly to remove any split ends.
- Be careful not to brush your extensions when they are wet, as this can cause them to tangle.
Following these tips will help you keep your synthetic hair extensions looking and feeling their best for longer.
