Summer-Proof Your Locks:
Essential Summer Hair Care Tips for Extension and Non-Extension Wearers
Ah, Summer. We’ve been waiting for you. But, as the temperatures rise it's time to adjust our hair care routine.
As your Nashville extension specialists and hair professionals, we are here to help ensure your hair stays p e r f e c t all summer long. Whether you’re rocking IBE or your natural locks, we’ve got you covered.
Protect Your Investment: For both extension and non-extension wearers, you can protect your investment in two huge ways. By using a mineral sunscreen, like Goldie Locks sheer mineral sunscreen, you protect your extensions from turning an irreversible peach tone. The second way to keep your color fresh is to invest in a good quality leave-in conditioner and apply to your hair and/or extensions prior to your pool or beach day. No tangles or faded color are welcome here!
Hydration is Key: Just like your skin, your hair craves hydration, especially during the summer months. Regularly moisturize your locks with a lightweight, hydrating conditioner to prevent dryness and frizz. If you're hitting the pool or beach, rinse your hair with fresh water before and after swimming to minimize the damaging effects of chlorine or saltwater. Bonus points, follow up with oiling your ends. Split ends who?
Gentle Detangling: Use a wide-tooth comb or our specially-made tomboy brush to gently detangle your locks, starting from the ends and working your way up to the roots. Avoid harsh pulling or brushing over your wefts, as this can cause breakage and damage to both your natural hair and extensions.
Minimize Heat Styling: Summer is the perfect time to embrace your natural texture and minimize heat styling. If you do reach for your hot tools, always apply a heat protectant beforehand to shield your strands from damage. Sachajuan makes a heat protection cream that protects your hair while providing shine and moisture. Let your curls fall to loose, effortless waves, or an undone pony for a heat-friendly look that's perfect for summer.
Regular Maintenance: Whether you have extensions or not, regular maintenance is crucial for keeping your hair healthy year-round. Schedule regular trims to remove split ends and prevent breakage, and maybe consider a mid-maintenance visit for a fresh gloss to ensure your seamless blends.
Remember to protect, hydrate, and pamper your strands, and you'll be sure to turn heads all the way down Broadway.
Nashville extensions never looked so good!
