Why Do Hair Extensions Become Dry or Tangled?
1. Lack of Moisture
-Human hair extensions need hydration like natural hair. Exposure to heat, sun, or dry climates can strip moisture.
2. Incorrect Washing Techniques
-Rough washing, hot water, or harsh shampoos (e.g., sulfates) can damage cuticles.
3. Poor Storage
-Storing extensions loosely can cause friction and tangling.
4. Skipping Conditioning
-Without regular conditioning, hair loses its softness and becomes prone to knots.
5. Heat Damage
-Overuse of styling tools (flat irons, curling wands) without heat protectant dries out hair.
How to Prevent Dryness & Tangling
✅ Wash Gently
-Use lukewarm water and sulfate-free shampoo.
-Avoid rubbing hair—cleanse in a downward motion to prevent friction.
✅ Condition Regularly
-Apply a moisturizing conditioner or hair mask weekly. Focus on mid-lengths to ends.
✅ Detangle Properly
-Use a wide-tooth comb or extension brush starting from the ends and work upward.
-Never brush dry hair—lightly spritz with water or leave-in conditioner first.
✅ Limit Heat Styling
-Always apply heat protectant.
-Opt for heatless styling methods (braids, rollers) when possible.
✅ Store Correctly
-Keep extensions in a silk/satin pouch or hang them straight. Avoid crumpling.
✅ Hydrate Frequently
-Use lightweight oils (argan, coconut) or serums to seal moisture.
How to Fix Dry or Tangled Extensions
1. Deep Conditioning Treatment
-Soak hair in warm water mixed with conditioner for 20–30 minutes. Rinse and air-dry.
2. Detangling Step-by-Step
-Spray with a detangling solution (water + conditioner mix).
-Separate small sections. Gently comb from ends to roots.
3. Trim Split Ends
-Carefully snip frayed ends to prevent further tangling.
4. Avoid Overwashing
-Human hair: Wash every 10–15 wears.
