How to Ruin Hair Extensions

Even with quality products, it is possible to ruin your hair extensions if you don't take special care of them.

We put together some tips to ensure you are keeping your extensions in great condition. If you don't follow the steps below, you could possibly ruin your extensions!

Here are some specific tips to help you care for your extensions:

Human hair extensions can be treated as real hair, but do so more gently.

Use a special brush (often a loop brush) made just for extensions, so you don't damage the new hair or the bond. And make sure to brush but not often.

A gentle shampoo is recommended, and use cool water to help minimize tangles. We sell special shampoo at the store and online but a gentle drugstore shampoo also works.

A light conditioner will help reduce tangling and keep your new hair supple. Don't over condition the hair or it will look greasy, like any hair would.

Sleep with your hair in a ponytail or braid to avoid bed-head and knots. Again, you don't want to over brush the hair.

If you party in your hair, sleep in your hair without keeping it tied together, or you spent hours brushing it- the hair will become damaged- as would your own hair- and your extensions could even be ruined.

Hair Extentions 101 ; Ordering Online

Since the 2014 Academy Awards are almost here. There are two sub – categories of hair extensions; synthetic and human hair. Synthetic here does not look real and is never used by celebrities. It also does not last long. Unlike synthetic hair, human hair is often used by celebrities, flash a long time, and looks completely natural. Some people have questions about the ethics surrounding sourcing human hair extensions. We here at Pelo Hair Los Angeles only used ethically – sourced hair.

There are different kinds of extensions, different types of hair, different formats as to how the hair extensions are added to your own hair. Weaves, heat fusing, clamping with metal rods, and I – tips are some of the most popular methods.

You have to find the right texture and color in a hair extension product order for your hair to look its best to be able to seal the fact that you are wearing hair extensions.
