Most women with short hair, resort to such a very popular service, as hair extensions.
However, to find a good master, to carry out the procedure correctly without consequences is one thing, but then carefully taking care of the head of hair is a completely different moment, which cannot be silent. Of great importance is the choice of a special shampoo and the proper washing of such hair, which will be discussed in the article.
Cons of conventional means
Many people after carrying out this procedure mistakenly believe that for subsequent washing you can safely choose the most ordinary shampoos. But it is not.
The process of building itself means fixing special substances or fixings on the hair. If simple means are regularly placed on these fastenings, then very soon they may weaken, and the consequences will be rather dire.
Specialized shampoos will, on the contrary, help hair, making them stronger and more radiant. That is why this point should be paid special attention.
Care
We list the basic rules of care for hair extensions.
- Washing hair extensions should occur only after two or three days, and not before.
- Only special PH shampoos can be used for such washing, namely: neutral or sulfate-free products.
- Shampoo should be applied only in the direction of hair growth in such a way as not to lift them up. Otherwise there is a risk that the attachments will fall off.
- Rinse your head with warm water, but not hot.
- The consistency of the tool should be as liquid as possible.
- Flushing preferably under running water, rather than standing.
It is also important to know that conditioners or balms should also be specialized.
- Home masks better to exclude. As a rule, they often contain quite aggressive components that can destroy capsules.
- To visit the baths or saunas should purchase a special hat. The same applies to swimming in the sea - it is impossible without a hat, since salt affects the hairs in an extremely negative way.
- After washing the hair in any case can not use a hair dryer or any other drying devices. The drying process should be as natural as possible.
- In order to prevent hair getting tangled during a night's sleep, you can braid a pigtail. The main thing is that this hairstyle was as tight as possible.
- But about too tight styling is best forgotten, using more gentle for fastening options.
- After three or four months, it is recommended to remove the curls for a while, letting your hair rest.
You can not go to bed with wet or even slightly moisturized hair, as during sleep, natural hair will simply be confused with extensions. To eliminate such consequences is extremely difficult.
What means better?
It is not necessary to learn the names of all known and suitable brands in order to find the right product. Sometimes it is enough to know only an approximate composition and list of prohibited items. A large role is played by the amount of alkalis - the smaller, the better for the hair.
It is best to give preference to those shampoos that have the most neutral composition. The main thing - the absence of silicones, wax and any oils. The remedy itself should be intended for washing normal or greasy hair.
Particular attention should be paid to sulphate-free shampoo, which does not contain preservatives or parabens. You can find out such a means by the amount of foam produced during washing - if it is low, it means that it has a minimum amount of sulfates.
Sulfate-free shampoo is also notable for the fact that it contains no harmful chemical elements that can harm the hair or scalp. But the number of natural and beneficial elements that nourish hair and skin is quite large.
Means for dry and dyed hair, as well as all series "2 in 1" can not be used categorically.
