Hair Extensions Aftercare Tips
Posted on December 2, 2011 | Health and Beauty Tips.
Many celebrities opt for microlink hair extension because it is such a convenient and painless procedure to undergo. There are no glues, bond or stitching involved. And the good news is that you don’t have to be a famous celebrity to enjoy the benefits of microlink hair extensions. Microlink hair extension can transform your short and lifeless hair to a long and free flowing hair instantly. There is no need to wait for months or years for your natural hair to grow.
In microlink hair extensions, also known as micro rings or micro loop hair extensions, strands of hair are attached to your natural hair and are joined by a plastic ring, closed flat and tightly so the strands won’t slip off. They are concealed among your natural hair so that your friends won’t notice it, unless you tell them your secret.
It feels great to look gorgeous with your beautiful hair. As to the confidence it brings, you will definitely feel that the money you have invested on it is worth it. It is also important that you invest enough time and effort to your extensions’ aftercare.
Shampooing
It is best that the initial shampoo right after the extension procedure should be done by your hairstylist or one of his/her staff. This is because they are not only trained in the actual process of putting on the extension, but also in aftercare service. As they shampoo, they must also teach you the correct technique in washing and brushing those extensions
You can ask your stylist as to what brand of shampoo suits your extension type. This is important as not all shampoos are suited for hair extensions. Shampoos with a pH of 7.0, natural extracts and AHA are usually recommended. The shampoo’s role is to clean and revitalize the scalp, your hair and extensions. Be gentle as you would not want the rings to fall off from your microlink hair extensions while shampooing!.
Remove any tangles before wetting your hair. Dirt, grime and sweat that are accumulated on a busy day can cause your hair to tangle. Gentle brushing helps in removing these. When all is smooth, slowly wet your hair. With an up and down motion, apply shampoo from the roots to the tips. Don’t make any circular motion massage. Rinse well and rinse plenty. Apply conditioner using the same motion, up and down. Pat dry with the towel, and never rub.
Remember that heat can damage your hair extensions. Avoid washing your hair with hot water and drying it with a blower. Your hair may feel heavier as it may take about a week or two to settle down to normal routine.
You should also consider the type of brush you’re using to comb your hair. Check with your stylist as to what type of brush is best. Bristles for hair extensions should be wide-spaced and soft. When brushing, start from the tips working your way upwards so that you won’t be losing the links that are attached to your microlink hair extensions.
Your stylist should be your best friend when it comes to hair care. S/He should be there to help you when something goes wrong along the way, before the problem becomes worse. For example, replacing lost rings or undoing a badly-tangled hair.
