Hair Extensions: Extending to its Limit

Hair extensions come in two types: first is the synthetic type which is made of either Kanekalon or Toyokalon. Synthetic hair extensions are best for extensive hair salon styling like curling. The other type of hair extensions commonly used by women in Tampa is the Remy hair extensions which is also known as the human hair. This is a more natural type of hair extensions that lasts longer with proper care.


Knowing the Basics

Let’s start with the basics! Shampooing is the number one cause of damage in hair extensions. Some hair salons recommend certain types of shampoo that one can use. However, some clients tend to cut costs by settling for cheaper brands that can turn out to be knock offs or ineffective.
Note this important tip: It is always best to spend on maintenance rather spending them on repairs. Never use a Volumizing shampoo especially for synthetic hair extensions for this will maximize the strands and may cause tangles. Dry your hair extensions just like how you dry your natural hair.
If hair color is an issue for your hair extensions, it is best to plan ahead. Have your natural hair colored and let hair salons take care of the matching; in case your roots need a retouch, it is safest to go to your hair salon and have them done.


Professional Tips

Feel free to style your hair extensions in whatever style you want such as buns, braids and ponytails as you would normally. As the summer season approaches in Tampa, this means more time for beach and pool parties. Never be afraid to go for a dip but make sure to wear a swim cap made of latex. Before putting them on, carefully comb your hair extensions working on the roots to the tips and braiding them to ensure that the strands are tucked to avoid tangling inside the cap. As soon as you get out of the water, wash your hair extensions to remove damaging chemicals that may have sucked up your cap.

When things go wrong, never be too aggressive in getting the hair extensions off your head. Instead, go to your favorite hair salon and have them fixed. It is always the best option to ask for professional help.
