How to Care for you Weave 101

Hey my fellow Hair Addicts or Soon to Be Hair Addicts, I receive a number of questions on how to care for your hair post purchase so I thought I would blog a little bit about it. To all the veterans of this dear ole hair game, feel free to add your tips and additional knowledge in the comments section.
One of the most misconceptions about wearing hair extensions/weave is that it requires no maintenance. While in my opinion hair extensions can be low maintenance it is by no means NO maintenance. This post is meant to give you the basics on how to care for your hair extensions. (By caring for you hair, your hair will last longer which means you will be able to reuse time and time again. That after all is the beauty of purchasing good quality Indian Remy hair).

1,2,3's to Maintaining your Hair

1. Watch what you wash with - It is suggested that you wash your hair at least once a week but what you wash it with is equally if not more important. Using a sulfate-free shampoo is highly recommended. Sulfates are harsh chemicals that overtime strip the hair and can cause it to become dull and lifeless over time.

2. Your next step is your best step - High quality hair extensions require a good moisturizing conditioner. Conditioner will ensure that the hair remains soft and moisturized. Deep conditioning ever so often is recommended

3. Beat the Heat - Make sure when heat styling you always use a heat protecting product prior to heat styling. Another way of beating the heat is allowing your hair to air dry, not only is it best for your hair, it will allow you to be versatile by wearing the hair in its natural texture. You should try not to use high heat everyday, as opposed to curling your hair daily, try rolling, or pin curling your hair at night before going to sleep.

These are just the absolute basics that should get you started to maintaining a healthy stash of hair that you can use time and time again.
