Tips for Perfect Holiday Hair Extensions
As the holiday season approaches, we all want to look our best, and that includes having fabulous hair. Whether you’re rocking your natural locks or experimenting with hair extensions, healthy and beautiful hair is a must. In this holiday blog post, we’ll delve into some essential tips for maintaining healthy hair and making the most of your hair extensions to ensure you’re the belle of the ball at every holiday gathering.
Tip 1: Pre-Holiday Hair Care Routine
Before you dive into styling for the holiday season, start with a solid foundation. A pre- holiday hair care routine is a must. This routine should include:
Deep Conditioning and Hair Repair: Invest in a quality deep conditioning shampoo and conditioner to add moisture and shine to your hair. Using a Defy Damage and Repair System will help you achieve 100% Healthy Hair.
Trimming: A fresh trim will get rid of split ends and keep your hair looking healthy. Scalp Health: A healthy scalp is crucial for beautiful hair, so consider scalp massages or treatments to stimulate hair growth.
Tip 2: Protect Your Natural Hair
If you’re planning to wear hair extensions, protecting your natural hair is essential. Choosing hair extension installs that are less damaging ensure the quality and integrity of the natural hair is maintained and improved. Here are some additional tips:
Full Head Installs: If you’re going for the most protective hair extension installation, be sure to have 100% healthy hair prior to install. Recommended for all hair types.
Invisible Sewn in Rows: Very protective, best for matching natural textures. Long Lasting, Low Maintenance for all hair types.
Tip 3: Styling with Extensions
Holiday hair often involves lots of styling. Here’s how to do it right with extensions:
Heat Protectant: Always use a heat protectant before using styling tools on your extensions and natural hair. This will prevent damage and help them last longer.
Gentle Styling: Be gentle when styling your extensions to prevent unnecessary stress on your natural hair. Mostly finger comb. Use hair extension brushes and wide tooth combs if necessary. Brush from ends to roots.
Tip 4: Maintenance
Maintaining both your natural hair and extensions is crucial for holiday hair success:
Regular Shampooing: Shampoo your hair and extensions as needed, every three days is recommended. With our single donor hair extensions, shampooing and conditioning improves the integrity. Add moisture using Moisture Recovery, Intense Hydrator, or Hydra Splash.
Use Quality Products: Invest in our recommended products and ask for advise on which ones to use based on needs.
Brushing: Use a hair extension brush or a wide-tooth comb to detangle and style your hair without causing breakage. Finger comb mostly. Separate with fingers and always start brushing, combing, detangling from the ends of the hair.
Tip 5: Removal and Post-Holiday Care
After the holiday season is over, it’s time to give your hair and extensions some post-party love:
Professional Removal: If you’ve had your extensions professionally applied, have them removed by a professional.
KPAK Repair System: Treat your hair to a deep-conditioning hair spa experience to rejuvenate it after weeks of styling or after removal. Add in a trim and reapply!
Tip 6: Schedule your appointments 6 months to a year in advance every year.
After the holiday season is over start the new year by scheduling in advance for the entire year. 6 months is okay also. Start planning and budgeting for the new year.
Plan in Advance: Plan your holiday install months before the holidays. Plan to wear your install through the busy holiday to spend more time looking great in all those holiday photos.
Pre Booking 2024: Book all of your 2024 hair appointments in advance. This will help you budget your time and your money more e ciently.
