How To Care For Your Hair Extensions On Holiday

Sun, sea, sand and chlorine are not exactly best friends with your hair, so it’s extra important to look after your hair and extensions whilst on holiday. Don’t worry, you won’t need to spend your entire holiday worrying about your hair, just follow our simple tips and looking after your extensions should be a breeze:

• Hair-care tool kit – You’ll need a few essentials to take on holiday including special shampoo and conditioner designed for extensions, a good quality leave-in conditioner, a large-bristled hair extension brush, some hair bobbles and a hat/headscarf. Check out our range of hair extension after-care products here.
• Keep your hair moisturised – The heat from the sun, salt in the sea and chlorine in the pool can all dry out your natural hair and your human hair extensions making them brittle, and can also weaken the extension bonds. After swimming in the sea or pool make sure you rinse your hair well in clean water and wash it with suitable shampoo and conditioner. Use a leave-in conditioner to maximise the moisture in your hair extensions.
• Avoid over-styling hair – Make the most of the hot weather on holiday and let your hair dry naturally where possible, for a boho beachy look. Your hair extensions will really benefit from a break from the hair straighteners and curling tongs for a week or two!
• Wear a ponytail to bed – Tie your hair up in a loose ponytail to sleep. We’d advise you to do this when you’re not on holiday as well though as it’s just good practise for those with hair extensions.
• Dry hair properly – Never go to bed with wet hair if you have hair extensions as this can damage and weaken the bonds, which then leads to your extensions falling out. Use a hairdryer on a low setting to gently blow-dry your hair before going to bed.
