1. Protect your extensions from the sun's rays :

Prolonged exposure to the sun can cause damage to your hair extensions, making them dull and fragile. To preserve them, we recommend you take a few simple steps :

• Wear a hat or light scarf to protect your hair from UV rays.
• Use a UV protection spray to avoid the sun's harmful effects on your extensions. Try Professional aftercare shine spray 75ml - Balmain Care.

By taking these precautions, you'll keep your extensions shiny all summer long.

2. Avoid chlorinated and salt water :

Chlorinated pool water and saltwater from the sea can dry out your hair extensions and make them more prone to tangling. To avoid this :

• Before swimming, gently detangle your hair and dampen it with clear water to prevent the absorption of chlorinated or salty water.
• Tie your hair in a loose braid or bun to minimize the risk of tangling.
• After swimming, rinse your hair with clear water, wash with a mild shampoo, then apply a moisturizing conditioner for deep nourishment.

3. Tie back your hair during physical activities :

If you're planning to take part in strenuous physical activities or summer sports, it's advisable to gather your hair extensions into a braid or low bun to prevent tangling or damage. Use soft elastics or fabric ties to prevent breakage.

4. Moisturize your hair extensions regularly :

Summer heat can lead to excessive dryness, damaging the appearance and texture of your extensions. To keep them moisturized and supple throughout the day, use a leave-in moisturizing spray. You can also opt for extension-specific hair care products to prolong the life of your extensions.
