Care and maintenance of your extensions during the winter

Each time of year brings advantages and disadvantages for your hair, and in each season, you will know what specific care you will have to follow. In the case of winter, low temperatures can affect both your hair and your muscles. natural hair extensions. But if you follow some care and guidelines that we are going to provide you with, your hair will be super healthy whatever the season.

We give you 3 keys for your hair and your extensions

1. Scalp care

Before starting with your hair, you should know that your scalp is almost more important, since if it is not healthy, it can directly affect the health of your hair. For these low temperatures, especially in the months of January and February, we always recommend use a wool cap, hat or accessories that can protect your scalp from the cold. If you notice that your hair doesn't look as healthy as always, maybe it's time to stop by one of our Play Extension salons. Here we will carry out a study and diagnosis of your scalp and we will see what problem you have. We have a wide range of hair treatments, with which you will recover the health and vitality of your hair, from the roots to the ends. We begin by applying a detox treatment, to eliminate impurities and dirt from your scalp, and then, we apply the treatment you need. Do you need more information about these treatments?

2. More hydration for your hair in winter

Whether you wear extensions or not, we always recommend keeping your hair hydrated. Due to the cold and dry climate, the hair, and especially the ends, suffer more. We recommend that once a week at home, warm and calm, you spend a few minutes on your hair. If you do not have extensions, we recommend using a hydrating shampoo, such as Bain Satin de Kerastase. If you wear extensions, we always recommend the Play Extension specific shampoo. Once you rinse your hair, dry it a little with a towel to remove excess moisture. Afterwards, apply a hydrating mask from the middle to the ends (be careful! If you have extensions, do not apply a mask at the junction of the extension). You can leave it on for 10-15 minutes to sleep with the mask on and rinse off the next day. How you prefer!

3. BE CAREFUL with thermal tools.

We are not going to deny that we love GHD plates, just like dryers. But as we have already said before, due to the cold and dryness, your hair will be less hydrated, so if it lacks hydration, and we apply more heat than we should, the hair suffers much more.

If we have no choice but to style our hair with a straightener or blow-dryer daily because we want to wear our perfect extensions day after day, make sure you have a good thermal protector by hand. This will prevent your hair from drying out excessively and the ends from splitting more easily.
