Caring For Hair Extensions On Vacation

Once you're on vacation, proper maintenance is key to keeping your extensions looking their best.

• Avoid Excessive Heat Styling: While it's tempting to style your hair every day, excessive heat can cause damage to both your natural hair and extensions. Try to minimize the use of hot tools, and always apply a heat protectant spray before styling.

• Keep Hair Hydrated: Your extensions, like your natural hair, can become dry from sun exposure and saltwater. Use a moisturizing leave-in conditioner or hair serum to keep them hydrated and shiny.

• Protect Your Hair at Night: To prevent tangling while you sleep, loosely braid or tie your extensions in a soft bun before bed. You can also wrap your hair in a silk scarf or use a satin pillowcase to reduce friction and keep your extensions smooth.

• Dry Shampoo: To keep your hair looking fresh between washes, use dry shampoo to absorb excess oil and add volume to your natural hair and extensions. This will help prevent any limpness or flatness, especially on hot days.

• Touch-Up Your Roots: If you have visible roots (especially if you've colored your natural hair), consider using a root touch-up spray or powder to keep your hair looking flawless.
