My Favorite Products for Hair Extension Care

Caring for. your hair extensions is a commitment. The better you care for them, the longer they will last you, which I guess makes them more of an investment! I've had semi- permanent sew in extensions for almost a year now so I've tried quite a few products to narrow down the perfect combination to keep my faux locks in good shape. Before I share my picks, here are some tips I've picked up along the way.

• Oil is your best friend. Oil the heck out of your ends to keep them smooth. They aren't getting natural oils from your scalp so your extensions need all the help they can get when it comes to keeping them moisturized.
• Heat protectant is essential. I like a detangler, leave in conditioner, protectant combo. 
• Investing in good tools is worth it. The Dyson Airwrap seemed insane to me when I first say the price tag, but after getting one for myself I see that there is a serious return on investment. It has helped keep my hair looking healthier and cut down on my dry time by a lot. I can also curl and dry my hair simultaneously so I am limiting the amount of heat I have to use on my hair.

You can disregard this last portion if you don't have well water. I unfortunately do (the only downside to our big move), but I've found a few products to help my hair stay in tact. In addition to our water treatment, using reparative shampoo, and lathering my extensions in hair masks, I also use one of these products every few times I wash my hair. Both I've found to be effective in giving your hair a little detox from buildup and there is a noticeable difference after use.
