Bella Glam’s Guide to Everyday Hair Extension Care

Caring for hair extensions in between salon visits is the key to keeping them looking fresh, healthy, and long lasting. At Bella Glam Beauty Salon in Lakeland Florida, we want every woman to love her hair not just on appointment day, but every day in between. With a little attention and the right habits, your extensions can stay soft, smooth, and beautiful for weeks.

The first thing to remember is to treat your extensions gently. Brush them every morning and evening using a soft bristle or loop brush made for extensions. Always start from the ends and work your way up to prevent pulling or damage. When washing, use sulfate free shampoos and conditioners, and focus on the scalp while letting the product rinse through the extensions. Avoid rubbing or twisting the hair while it is wet, and gently pat it dry with a towel.

It is also important to keep your hair hydrated. Use a lightweight leave in conditioner or nourishing oil on the mid lengths and ends, but keep product away from the bonds or roots so they do not loosen. Heat styling should be done on a low to medium setting, and always with a heat protectant spray. If you sleep with your hair down, consider tying it in a loose braid or using a silk pillowcase to minimize friction and tangles.

With these simple steps, your hair extensions will stay soft, manageable, and full of life until your next salon visit. At Bella Glam, we are always here to help you keep your hair feeling its best, every step of the way.
