If you love relaxing in the sauna or topping up your tan on a sunbed, you might be wondering: Are these activities safe for your hair extensions?
The answer comes down to quality. At HairXtensions.co.uk, we supply 100% Remy human hair extensions, which means you can treat them just like your natural hair. You can style them with heat tools and wash them as usual, ensuring that you can create your favourite looks any time. That said, there are a few things to keep in mind before heading into a sauna or lying under a sunbed.
Be mindful of the heat
High temperatures and humidity in saunas can affect the adhesive bonds on your hair extension. With excessive heat, the bonds can soften or weaken, causing the strands to fall out. Excessive heat may cause the bonds to soften or weaken, making the strands slip out. The best way to protect them is to wear a shower cap or swimming cap and avoid staying inside for too long. The same applies when using a sunbed — keep exposure moderate and protect your hair whenever possible.
Protect against UV rays
Did you know that UV rays can also dry out your extensions, much like they make your natural hair brittle and more prone to breakage? On top of that, prolonged exposure can cause colour fading. So if you’re using a sunbed, wrap your hair in a silk bonnet or even a simple towel to shield it from UV damage.
Maintain with proper aftercare
Even with precautions, heat and UV exposure can take a toll on hair extensions over time. That’s why it’s important to follow a good aftercare routine. Use salon-quality products designed for hair extensions to keep them hydrated and long-lasting. At HairXtensions.co.uk, you’ll find a full range of tested aftercare solutions to help your extensions stay in great condition.
