Maximising the Lifespan of Weft Hair Extensions: Tips for Long-Lasting Beauty

Weft hair extensions are one of the most popular choices for clients wanting instant volume, length and seamless, natural blends. At Yovanka Loria Salon, we specialise in premium weft extensions and expert application, and we're just as passionate about helping you care for them so they stay looking healthy for as long as possible. 

Here's some essential tips to get the most out of your weft hair extensions and keep them looking fresh, healthy and soft between salon visits. 

What Are Weft Hair Extensions?

First up, let's get our heads around what weft hair extensions actually are. Weft extensions are strands of hair that are sewn onto a flat seam (or "weft") and then attached to your natural hair often through a sewn method. They blend naturally, feel lightweight and are one of the least damaging extension options when applied correctly. 

Why Clients Love Weft Extensions

Natural Look: Weft extensions blend like a dream with your natural hair, offering a discreet and authentic appearance.

Versatility: Style them as you would your own hair, opening up a world of hairdos.

Less Damage: Generally, weft extensions are kinder to your natural hair and help to promote natural hair growth, compared to other methods.

Tips for Maximising the Lifespan of Your Weft Extensions

Proper Installation: Properly installing your weft extensions is crucial for optimal results. Here at Yovanka Loria Salon, our stylists make sure your extensions are fitted just right, reducing damage to your natural hair and ensuring they stay put.

Regular Maintenance: Keep those extensions in tip-top shape with regular maintenance. This means gentle brushing to dodge tangles and catching up with your stylist for any needed tweaks.

Right Hair Care Products: Always choose quality, sulfate-free, paraben-free hair care products. These are softer on both your extensions and natural hair, helping to keep your extensions in top nick.

Protect from Heat: Sure, you can heat-style your weft extensions, but always use a heat protectant spray and steer clear of too much heat to avoid damage.

Nighttime Care: Look after your extensions while you snooze. Think about plaiting your hair or popping on a silk cap to cut down on friction and stop tangles.

Washing Technique: When it’s time to wash, go easy. Avoid a rough scrub and focus on cleaning the scalp. Let the water flow through your extensions to clean them without stress.

Watch Out for Chlorine and Salt Water: Chlorine and salt water can be tough on hair extensions. If you're hitting the pool or ocean, wear a cap or make sure your hair is well-protected and conditioned.

Regular Trims: Just like your own hair, your extensions will thank you for regular trims to keep them looking fresh and to fend off split ends.
