Showering with hair extensions is a common concern for many extension wearers. Maintaining your extensions while keeping them clean and well-managed is vital for their longevity and your comfort. At Garnish, we understand the significance of proper care, especially during your shower routine. With the Natural Beaded Rows (NBR) Method, a popular extension technique we use, showering with your extensions is as simple as caring for your natural hair. In this blog post, we’ll share five essential tips to ensure a seamless shower experience while preserving the beauty and health of your extensions.
1. The Extension Method Matters:
When it comes to showering with extensions, the extension method utilized plays a crucial role. With the NBR Method, which we proudly utilize at Garnish, you can shower with your extensions just like you would with your natural hair. This method ensures minimal points of contact, allowing for a comfortable and worry-free shower experience.
2. Quality Products Are Key:
Investing in high-quality hair products is essential for maintaining both your natural hair and extensions. At Garnish, we recommend using top-tier products like Oribe, which we offer at our salon. These products are specifically formulated to nourish, protect, and enhance the longevity of your extensions.
3. Pre-Wash Preparation is Vital:
Before stepping into the shower, it’s essential to prepare your extensions by gently brushing them. This pre-wash step ensures that there are no tangles or knots, minimizing the risk of matting during and after washing. A simple brush through each section goes a long way in maintaining the overall integrity of your extensions.
4. Section Application of Shampoo and Conditioner:
While washing your extensions, apply shampoo and conditioner in sections. This method ensures that each strand is thoroughly cleansed and conditioned. Gently massage the products into your scalp and hair, treating the extensions with the care they deserve.
5. Gentle Handling When Wet:
Handle your extensions with care, especially when they’re wet. Excessive tugging or rough handling can lead to damage or breakage. Be gentle as you detangle or style your extensions post-shower to maintain their smoothness and integrity.
Bonus Tip: Weekly Deep Treatment Masque:
Treat your extensions and natural hair to a weekly deep treatment masque. This will provide the much-needed moisture and nourishment, keeping your extensions in top-notch condition.
