Essential Hair Care Products for Maintaining Luxurious Extensions
Hair extensions are the ultimate way to add instant volume and length, transforming your look in moments. But to keep your extensions looking as perfect as they did on day one, using the right hair care products is essential. In this guide, we'll share the must-have products to maintain healthy, beautiful hair extensions.
Understanding Hair Extension Care
Firstly, it's important to understand that hair extensions require special care. Unlike your natural hair, they don't benefit from natural scalp oils, so they need extra moisture and care to stay soft, shiny, and tangle-free.
The Right Shampoo and Conditioner
Start with a sulphate-free, paraben-free and not protein rich shampoo and conditioner. These products are gentler on extensions and won't strip them of moisture.
Hydrating Shampoo
A hydrating shampoo will cleanse your extensions without drying them out & don't forget to shampoo twice!
Nourishing Conditioner
Follow up with a nourishing conditioner. This will help to detangle the extensions and add back essential moisture, leaving them soft and manageable.
Our personal favourites are: Evo's The Therapist Shampoo & Conditioner and Davroe's Moisture Senses Shampoo & Conditioner.
Leave-In Treatments and Serums
These treatments and serums are a must for keeping your extensions smooth and tangle-free.
Leave-In Conditioner
A good leave-in conditioner will provide all-day moisture and protection. It's especially important for those with curly or textured extensions. We love Davroe Ends Repair Leave-In Treatment to add extra shine, strength and moisture.
Argan Oil Serum
Argan oil serums are excellent for adding shine and reducing frizz. They're lightweight and won't weigh down your extensions. Pro-Tip: Only use oils that are clear in colour and steer clear from yellow coloured oils as they can stain the hair. Our personal favourite is the Davroe Argan Oil.
Heat Protectant Sprays
If you use heat styling tools, a heat protectant spray is essential. It shields your extensions from damage caused by high temperatures.
Regular Brushing
Regular brushing with a detangler brush or a special extension brush is key. It prevents tangles and ensures even distribution of products.
Deep Conditioning Treatments
Consider a monthly deep conditioning treatment or mask. This will help to revitalise your extensions, keeping them looking fresh and new.
Avoiding Harsh Chemicals
Stay away from products with harsh chemicals like alcohol, ammonia sulphate, paraben and protein. These can damage the extensions and shorten their lifespan.
Professional Maintenance
Lastly, regular visits to your professional stylist at Yovanka Loria Salon are important. Our expert stylists can check the condition of your extensions and perform any necessary maintenance.
Maintaining luxurious hair extensions doesn't have to be a daunting task. With the right products and care routine, your extensions can continue to look fabulous for months to come.
