Dos and Don'ts for Hair Extensions

Ever wondered how celebrities get their thick bouncy hair? Well it's most likely down to hair extensions, whether it's just for a special appearance or an everyday basis. You also don't have worry about splurging on extensions from salons as you can find some of the best human hair extensions online for a fraction of the price, and not only can you get straight hair extensions but also curly hair weaves in a whole range of colours, so you're bound to find the perfect match for your hair. Taking good care of your extensions is the key to keeping your extensions looking luxurious for longer and getting the most out of your money. 

Here are a few dos and don'ts when it comes to hair extensions:

Dos

• Wrap your hair together or tie it up when sleeping to prevent tangling
• Wash your hair in downwards motions to reduce tangling
• Use a leave in conditioner at the ends of the extensions to keep the hair nourished and silky
• Always place your hand on your head while brushing your hair to prevent pulling
• When brushing your hair start from the ends and work your way up
• Always brush your hair to remove tangles before washing it
• Buy a detangling brush, such as Tangle Teezer, as it prevents tugging on your hair and removes tangles with ease

Don'ts

• Never go to bed with wet hair when wearing your extensions as it can cause the hair to become tangled. 
• Don't condition the scalp with a heavy conditioner as extensions become greasy easier than your natural hair
• Never blow dry extensions
• Don't overload your extensions with products as it will damaged the hair overtime and weigh it down
• Don't used too much heat on human hair extensions - just like normal hair, it can develop split ends
• Never wash your hair upside down or use circular motions on the scalp while using shampoo on the hair

10 Tips For Summer!

1. Ditch your foundation and try a tinted moisturiser with high SPF, such as the Laura Mercier Oil-Free Tinted Moisturiser SPF 20, to protect your face and prevent aging
2. Experiment with colour with a coral blush and bold lips
3. Make sure you use a lip balm with SPF - there's nothing worse than burnt lips! I love the Palmers Cocoa Butter Lipbalm SPF 15, it smells amazing and works wonders!
4. Use a pinch of suncream on your hair to protect it from not only the sun but also chlorine an salt water to prevent it drying out
5. If your going somewhere with water, make sure you wear waterproof makeup especially mascara and eyeliner! There's nothing attractive about raccoon eyes! Maybelline Falsies Waterproof is great and lasts all day without smudging
6. Apply moisturiser - the sun dries out your skin so you need to keep boosting your skins moisture level
7. If your worried about showing your legs because they're all pale from the winter then try a fake tan or even a one day spray tan, such as Sally Hansen Airbrush Legs - but don't use too much because it can block your skin from having a real tan 
8. Exfoliate your feet with a pumice stone for soft feel this summer - there's nothing more unattractive than cracked heels
9. Take vitamin B supplements for stronger nails to prevent breakage from too much salt and chlorine
10. Try waxing for even longer and smoother legs
